Listening To Audio With The Screen Closed
To listen to only audio portion of the channel with the
screen closed:
• Set the audio to the desired source and channel.
• Close the video screen.
• To change the current audio mode, press the remotecontrol’s MODE button. This will automatically se-
lect the next available audio mode without using the
MODE/SOURCE Select menu.
If the screen is closed and there is no audio heard,
verify that the headphones are turned on (the ON
indicator is illuminated) and the headphone selector
switch is on the desired channel. If the headphones are
turned on, press the remote control’s power button to
turn audio on. If audio is still not heard, check that fully
charged batteries are installed in the headphones.
Disc Formats
The DVD player is capable of playing the following
types of discs (12 cm or 8 cm diameter):
• DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 video compression) (see notes about DVD Region Codes)
• Audio Compact Discs (CDs)
• CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA compressed audio format files
• Video CDs (MPEG-1 video compression) DVD Region Codes
The DVD player and many DVD 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 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 ma-
terial 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
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a
CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA files. The player
will also play DVD-Video content recorded to a
DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-ROM discs.
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 areclosed 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 UDF format.
CD-DA may also be used for PCM Audio contained
on CD-Based Data.
• 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.
If you are still having trouble writing a disc that is
playable in the DVD player, check with the disc record-
ing software publisher for more information about
burning playable discs.
The recommended method for labeling recordable
discs (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW) 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 player is capable of playing MP3 (MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 with data bitrates from 32 to 320 kbit/s,
including variable bit rates), WMA (All Standard 8.x,
9.x Windows Media Audio) and ACC (MPEG-4 audio;
sampling frequencies 8 to 48 kHz; mono and stereo)
audio files with the 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 ".mp3" or ".MP3", WMA files
must always end with the extension ".wma" or
"WMA", and ACC files must end with the extensions
“.acc” or “.m4a”. To prevent incorrect playback, do
not use these extensions for any other types of files.
• For MP3 files, ID3 tag data v1, v1.1, v2 and v2.4 (such as artist name, track title, album, etc.) are supported.
• Any file that is copy protected (such as those down- loaded from many online music stores) will not play.
The DVD player will automatically skip the file and
begin playing the next available file.
• Other compression formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro, Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not play. The DVD
player will automatically skip the file and begin playing
the next available file.

• If you are creating your own files, the recommendedfixed bit rate for MP3 files is between 96 and
192Kbps and the recommended fixed bit rate for
WMA files is between 64 and 192Kbps. Variable bit
rates are also supported. For both formats, the
recommended sample rate is either 44.1kHz or
48kHz.
• To change the current file, use the remote control’s or DVD player’s ▴button to advance to the next file,
or the ▾button to return to the start of the current
or previous file.
• To change the current directory, use the remote control’s PROG UP and Down buttons or Rewind/
skip back and fast fwd/skip forward. 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
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 tem-
perature is above 120°F. When this occurs, the DVD
player will display "High Temp" and will shut off the
display until a safe temperature is reached. This shut-
down is necessary to protect the optics of the DVD
player.

Under certain conditions, the mobile phone being on in
your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may be lessened or
eliminated by relocating the mobile phone antenna.
This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio
performance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the
repositioning of the antenna, it is recommended that
the radio volume be turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.

FUEL FILLER CAP (GAS CAP)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the
left side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged,
be sure the replacement cap has been designed for use
with this vehicle.
(fig. 128)
Locking Fuel Filler Cap (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a locking fuel cap.
Use the specific blade key to lock/unlock this fuel cap.
NOTE:When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap
tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler door
reinforcement.
•Damage to the fuel system or emis-
sions control system could result from
using an improper fuel tank filler tube
cap (gas cap).
• A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into
thefuelsystem.
• A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” to turn on.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off ” the fuel tank after filling. When the fuel
nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
WARNING!
