Playback order:
.The folder names of folders not containing
compressed audio files are not shown in the
display.
. If there is a file in the top level of a disc/USB,
“Root Folder” is displayed. .
The playback order is the order in which the
files were written by the writing software, so
the files might not play in the desired order.
. Music playback order of compressed audio
files is as illustrated in the next figure.

Troubleshooting guide:
SymptomCause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Check if the disc or USB device was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the
player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed audio files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will
be played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3 (.mp3)”, “.WMA (.wma)”, “.AAC (.aac)”, “.M4A (.m4a)”, or “.AA3 (.aa3)” cannot be played. In
addition, the character codes and number of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the
specifications.
Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting of
compressed audio writing applications or other text editing applications.
Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the disc or USB device is protected by copyright.
Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
It takes a relatively long time before
the music starts playing. If there are many folder or file levels on the disc or USB device, some time may be required before the music starts playing.
Music cuts off or skips The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not
match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit rate files Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.
Move immediately to the next song
when playing. If an unsupported compressed audio file has been given a supported extension like .MP3, or when play is prohibited by copyright
protection, the player will skip to the next song.
The songs do not play back in the
desired order. The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software, so the files might not play in the desired order.
Random/Shuffle may be active on the audio system or on a USB device.

.DivX
®- DivX
®refers to the DivX
®codec
owned by DivX, Inc. used for a lossy
compression of video based on MPEG-4.
. AVI - AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave.
It is a standard file format originated by
Microsoft Corporation. A “.divx” encoded file
can be saved into the “.avi” file format for
playback on this system if it meets the
requirements stated in the table in this
section. However, not all the “.avi” files are
playable on this system since different
encodings can be used than the DivX
®
codec.
. ASF - ASF stands for Advanced Systems
Format. It is a file format owned by Microsoft
Corporation. Note: Only “.asf” files that meet
the requirements stated in the table in this
section can be played.
. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital video file.
The size and quality of a compressed digital
audio file is determined by the bit rate used
when encoding the file. Requirement for Supporting Video Play-

Bluetooth
®Audio player (models with
navigation system)
. Some Bluetooth
®audio devices may not be
recognized by the in-vehicle audio system.
. It is necessary to set up the wireless
connection between a compatible Blue-
tooth
®audio device and the in-vehicle
Bluetooth®module before using the Blue-
tooth
®audio player.
. Operating procedure of the Bluetooth
®
audio player will vary depending on the
device. Make sure it is understood how to
operate an audio device before using it with
this system.
. The Bluetooth
®audio player may be stopped
under the following conditions:
— Receiving a hands-free call.
— Checking the connection to the hands- free phone.
. Do not place a Bluetooth
®audio device in an
area surrounded by metal or far away from
the in-vehicle Bluetooth®module to prevent
tone quality degradation and wireless con-
nection disruption.
. While an audio device is connected through
a Bluetooth
®wireless connection, the bat-
tery power of the device may discharge quicker than usual.
. This system supports the Bluetooth
®Audio
Distribution Profile (A2DP, AVRCP) .
. Bluetooth

. Note that data that is lost and not stored to
the hard drive/flash memory due to system
damage, improper operation or malfunction
is not under warranty.
. Vehicle owners are not permitted to record
music without permission of the owner of
the copyright except for personal use.
. Check if the music is appropriately recorded
to the hard drive/flash memory after record-
ing when the compact disc cannot be
rerecorded.
. Some music cannot be recorded depending
on the disc condition due to high-speed
recording.
. Jumping sounds may be recorded when a
compact disc is recorded while driving on
rough roads and excessive vibration occurs. .
A mark indicating jumping sounds is dis-
played if jumping sounds are recorded.
. No sounds may be recorded if jumping
sounds occurs or the disc is in poor
condition.
. Tracks that include Serial Copy Manage-
ment System (SCMS) are not recorded.
. If a compact disc is scratched or dirty, it may
not be recorded, jumping sounds may occur
or it may take a long time to record.
Automatic title download:
. The title information that is automatically
downloaded may differ from the actual title.
. When newly released compact discs are
recorded, their title information may not be

OPERATION PRECAUTIONS” earlier in this
section.Audio main operationHead unit:
The radio has an FM diversity reception system,
which employs two antennas printed on the rear
window. This system automatically switches to
the antenna which is receiving less interference.
The auto loudness circuit enhances the low and
high frequency ranges automatically in both
radio reception and CD playback.
ON·OFF/Volume control:
Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position, and then push the ON·OFF/VOLUME
control knob while the system is off to call up the
mode (radio, CD or AUX) which was playing
immediately before the system was turned off.
While the system is on, pushing the ON·OFF/
VOLUME control knob turns the system off.
Turn the ON·OFF/VOLUME control knob to
adjust the volume.
