Compressed Video Files (DivX)
The Blu-Ray™ Player is capable of playing DivX files
from a CD disc (usually a CD-R, CD-RW) or a DVD disc
(usually a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW or DVD+RW).
• The Blu-Ray™ Player always uses the file extension to
determine the video format, so DivX files must always
end with the extension “.div”, “divx” or “.avi.” To
prevent incorrect playback, do not use these extensions
for any other types of files.
• For DivX files, only DivX Home Theater Profile Ver.3.0
is supported.
• Any file that is copy protected will not play. The
Blu-Ray™ Player will automatically skip the file and
begin playing the next available file. •
Other compression formats such as Xvid and RMP4
will not play. The Blu-Ray™ Player will automatically
skip the file and begin playing the next available file.
•
For the lack of indexes DivX files, “Resume Play,” “Fast
Forward” and “Fast Rewind” cannot be supported.
• DivX Home Theater Profile 3.0 requires:
• Maximum resolution 720 x 480 @ 30fps or 720 x 576
@ 25fps
• Minimum resolution 16 x 16
• Maximum frame rate for progressive source 30
frames per second
• Maximum field rate for interlaced source 60 fields
per second

DVD/Blu-ray™/BD Region Codes
The DVD player/Blu-ray™ Player and many DVD/Blu-
ray™ Discs are coded by geographic region. These region
codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the
region code for the DVD/Blu-ray™ Disc does not match
the region code for the player, the disc will stop playing
and a warning will be displayed.
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the DVD player,
the DVD-Audio title on the disc is played by default
(most DVD-Audio discs also have a Video title, but the
Video title is ignored). All multi - channel program
material is automatically mixed down to two channels,
which may result in a lowered apparent volume level. If
you increase the volume level to account for this change
in level, remember to lower the volume before changing
the disc or to another mode.Recorded Discs
The DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs re-
corded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a CD-ROM
containing MP3, WMA or AAC (Blu-ray™ Disc Player
only) files. The player will also play DVD-Video content
recorded to a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs
(either pressed or recorded) are not supported.
If you record a disc using a personal computer, there may
be cases where the DVD player may not be able to play
some or the entire disc, even if it is recorded in a
compatible format and is playable on other players. To
help avoid playback problems, use the following guide-
lines when recording discs.
•
Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions that are
closed are playable.
• For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD-
Audio sessions, the player will renumber the tracks so
each track number is unique.

•For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the
ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or Romeo format.
Other formats (such as HFS, or others) are not sup-
ported.
• Blu-ray™ Disc Player can extend 2000 files and 255
folders.
• The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and 99
folders per CD-R and CD-RW disc.
• Mixed media recordable DVD formats will only play
the Video_TS portion of the disc.
• Mixed disc which contains DivXwill be priority
played on Blu-ray™ Disc Player.
If you are still having trouble writing a disc that is
playable in the DVD player, check with the disc recording
software publisher for more information about burning
playable discs. The recommended method for labeling recordable discs
(CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R) is with a permanent marker.
Do not use adhesive labels as they may separate from the
disc, become stuck, and cause permanent damage to the
DVD player.
Compressed Audio Files (MP3 / WMA and ACC)
The DVD/Blu-ray™ Player (if equipped) is capable of
playing MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Win-
dows Media Audio) files from a CD Data disc (usually a
CD-R or CD-RW).
•
The DVD player always uses the file extension to
determine the audio format, so MP3 files must always
end with the extension .mp3or.MP3 and WMA
files must always end with the extension .wmaor
.WMA. AAC files must always end with the exten-
sion aac orAAC. To prevent incorrect playback, do
not use these extensions for any other types of files.

Disc Errors
If the DVD player is unable to read the disc, a Disc Error
message is displayed on the Radio display and the disc is
automatically ejected. A dirty, damaged, or incompatible
disc format are all potential causes for a Disc Error
message.
If a disc has a damaged track which results in audible or
visible errors that persists for 2.0 seconds, the DVD
player will attempt to continue playing the disc by
426 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

skipping forward 1.0 to 3.0 seconds at a time. If the end
of the disc is reached, the DVD player will return to the
beginning of the disc and attempt to play the start of the
first track.
The DVD player may shut down during extremely hot
conditions, such as when the vehicle’s interior tempera-
ture is above 120° F (49° C). The Blu-ray™ Player may
shut down when the vehicle’s interior temperature ex-
ceeds 140° F (60° C). When this occurs, the DVD/Blu-
ray™ Player will displayHigh Tempand will shut off
the display until a safe temperature is reached. This
shutdown is necessary to protect the optics of the DVD/
Blu-ray™ Player.
The Blu-ray™ player may require additional reading
time during extremely cold weather conditions. When
this occurs, allow the vehicles interior temperature to
warm, then insert disc into player.Display

Rating And Password Setup
The Rating and Password settings work together to control
the types of DVDs that your family watches. Most DVD-
Video discs have a rating (from 1 to 8) assigned to them
where lower numbers are designated for all audiences and
higher numbers are designated for more adult audiences.
When a DVD-Video disc is loaded, its rating is compared
to the setting in the DVD player. If the rating of the disc
is higher than the setting in the player, a Password screen
is displayed. In order to watch the disc, the rear passen-
ger must enter the correct password using the password
entry method described below.
To play all discs without requiring a password, set the
DVD player ’s rating to Level 8. Setting the rating to Level
1 always requires the password to play any DVD disc.
Not all DVD discs encode a Rating, so it is still possible
that discs designed for adult audiences can still play
without requiring a password.The default rating is Level 8 (play all discs without a
password) and the default password is 0000.
