COMPRESSED AUDIO FILES (MP3/
WMA)
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
approximately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1
Audio system4-7

4-8Audio system
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 Micro-
soft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression 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.
. 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 determined by the bit rate used
when encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency
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 information is displayed on the
Album/Artist/Track title line on the display.

tered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft

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.

BLUETOOTH®STREAMING AUDIO
.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®streaming audio.
. The Bluetooth®streaming audio may be
stopped under the following conditions:
— Receiving a hands-free call.

free phone.
— Connecting the hands-free phone or the audio device.
— Downloading the phonebook memory from the connected cellular 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 wire-
less connection disruption.
. While an audio device is connected through
a Bluetooth
®wireless connection, the bat-
tery 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

OPERATION
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth®
Streaming Audio.
If you have a compatible Bluetooth®device with
streaming audio (A2DP profile) , you can set up a
wireless connection between your Bluetooth
®
device and the in-vehicle audio system. This
connection allows you to listen to the audio from
the Bluetooth
®device using your vehicle speak-
ers. It also may allow basic control of the device
for playing and skipping audio files using the
AVRCP Bluetooth
®profile. Not all Bluetooth®
devices have the same level of controls for
AVRCP. Please consult the manual for your
Bluetooth
®device for more details.
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth®
functions share the same frequency band (2.4
GHz) . Using the Bluetooth®and the wireless
