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.

Compressed Video Files (models
with navigation system)
Explanation of terms:
.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 deter- mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.

Bluetooth streaming audio (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
Bluetooth streaming audio.
. Operating procedure of the Bluetooth
streaming audio 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 streaming audio may be
stopped under the following condi-
tions:
— 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 degra-
dation and wireless connection disrup-
tion.

.While an audio device is connected
through a Bluetooth®wireless connec-
tion, the battery power of the device
may discharge quicker than usual.
. This system supports the Bluetooth
®
Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP,
AVRCP).
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth
®
functions share the same frequency
band (2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth®
and the wireless LAN functions at the
same time may slow down or discon-
nect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended
that you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-
Fi) when using the Bluetooth
®func-
tions.

stored to the hard drive/flash memory
due to system damage, improper op-
eration 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 mem-
ory after recording when the compact
disc cannot be rerecorded.
. Some music cannot be recorded de-
pending 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
displayed if jumping sounds are re-
corded.
. 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 automati-
cally downloaded may differ from the
actual title.
. When newly released compact discs are
recorded, their title information may
not be downloaded.
. The title information on the hard drive/
flash memory can be updated. (See
“Playing recorded songs” (P.4-84).)

The satellite radio mode requires an active
XM Satellite Radio subscription. The satel-
lite radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii
and Guam.

activation signal after subscribing the XM Satellite Radio. After receiving the activa-
tion signal, an available channel list will be
automatically updated in the radio. For XM,
push the ignition switch from LOCK to ACC
to update the channel list.
