USB (Universal Serial Bus)
WARNING
Do not connect or disconnect the USB device
while driving. Doing so can be a distraction.
If distracted you could lose control of your
vehicle and cause an accident or serious
injury.
NOTE:
.Do not force the USB device into the
USB port. Inserting the USB device
tilted or up-side-down into the port
may damage the USB device and the
port. Make sure that the USB device is
connected correctly into the USB port.
. Do not grab the USB port cover (if so
equipped) when pulling the USB device
out of the port. This could damage the
port and the cover.
. Do not leave the USB cable in a place
where it can be pulled unintentionally.
Pulling the cable may break the wire,
USB device or the port.
The vehicle is not equipped with a USB
memory (flash drive). Customers should
prepare USB devices as necessary. This system cannot be used to format USB
devices. To format a USB device, use a
personal computer.
In some countries, the USB device for the
front seats plays only sound without
images for regulatory reasons, even when
the vehicle is parked.
This system supports various USB memory
devices, USB hard drives and iPod
®
players. Some USB devices may not be
supported by this system.
.
Partitioned USB devices may not be
played correctly.
. Some characters used in other lan-
guages (Chinese, Japanese, etc.) are
not displayed properly on the vehicle
center screen. Using English language
characters with a USB device is recom-
mended.
General notes for USB use:
. The USB device may not function when
the passenger compartment tempera-
ture is extremely high. Lower the
temperature before use.
. During cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to humid-
ity. If this occurs, remove the USB
device and dehumidify or ventilate the USB player completely.
. Do not connect a USB device if a
connector, cable or USB port is wet.
Allow the connector, cable, and USB
port to dry completely before connect-
ing the USB device. (Wait for 24 hours
or more until it is dry.) If the connector
and USB port are exposed to fluids
other than water, evaporative residue
may cause a short circuit between the
connector pins and USB port. In this
case, replace the cable and USB port.
Otherwise damage to the USB device
and a loss of function may occur.
. If the cable is damaged (insulation cut,
connectors cracked, contamination
such as liquids, dust, dirt, etc. in the
connectors), do not use the cable.
Replace the cable with a new one.
. Do not put a USB device in a location
where static electricity occurs, electrical
noise is generated or hot air from the
air conditioner blows directly on it.
Doing so may cause the data stored on
the USB device to be corrupted.
. Be careful not to do the following or the
cable could be damaged and a loss of
function may occur.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA/AAC)
Explanation of terms:
. MP3 —MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is
the most well known compressed digital audio file format. This format
allows for near
“CD quality”sound, but
at a fraction of the size of normal audio
files. MP3 conversion of an audio track
can reduce the file size by approxi-
mately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1
kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually
no perceptible loss in quality. The
compression reduces certain parts of
sound that seem inaudible to most
people.
. WMA —Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling
storage of more digital audio tracks in
the same amount of space when
compared to MP3s at the same level
of quality.
. AAC/M4A —Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) is a lossy audio compression
format. Audio files that have been
encoded with AAC are generally smaller
in size and deliver a higher quality of
sound than MP3.
. Bit rate —Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a

compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency —Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.
. Multisession —Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to media.
Writing data once to the media is called
a single session, and writing more than
once is called a multisession.
. ID3/WMA Tag —The ID3/WMA tag is the
part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file
that contains information about the
digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.

Playback order:
. The folder names of folders not contain-
ing 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.
