COMPACT DISC (CD) PLAYER
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Music cannot be played back. The disc is inserted upside down.Insert a CD with the label side facing up.
Moisture condensation occurs inside the unit. Wait until the moisture evaporates (approximately 1 hour).
The cabin temperature is too high. Wait until the cabin temperature becomes moderate.
The disc is scratched or dirty. A disc is not always
playable if it is scratched. Wipe off any dirt from the disc.
Depending on the condition in which they are
stored, discs may become unreadable due to
deterioration (for example, keeping the discs in the
passenger compartment, etc.). Change the disc with a deterioration-free disc. Do
not use a deteriorated disc. The label surface of the
disc may crack or chip, and the layer of the label
surface may eventually peel off.
The compressed audio files cannot be played back. If both music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed audio files (MP3 data, etc.) are mixed on one disc,
the audio compression files cannot be played back.Prepare a disc that includes compressed audio files
only.
The files are not named using characters that are
compliant with the specifications. Use the character codes and the number of
characters that are compliant with the specifications
for folder names and file names. In addition, always
use
“.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3”or“.wma” for file
extensions.
It takes a long time before the music starts playing. The disc contains a large amount of data. Some time may be required to check the files. It is recommended that unnecessary folders or any files
other than compressed audio files should not be
recorded in a disc.
The sound quality is poor. The disc is dirty. Wipe off any dirt from the disc.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
No sounds are played though the CD play time is
displayed. The system plays back the first track of the mix
mode disc. (Mix mode is a format in which data
except music is recorded on the first track and
music data is recorded on one other than the first
track in a session.)Play back music data that are recorded on one other
than the first track.
Music cuts off or skips. The combination of writing software and hardware
might not match; or the writing speed, writing
depth, writing width, etc. might not match the
specifications. Create a disc using different writing speed settings,
etc.
The system skips the selected track and moves to
the next track. A non-MP3/WMA file is given an extension of
“.
MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3”or“.wma”. Prepare MP3/WMA files.
The system plays back a file that is prohibited due
to copyright protection. Prepare playable files.
The tracks do not play back in the desired order. The folder locations in the disc are changed by the writing software while the files are written in the
disc.Check the settings of the writing software, and
create a new disc.
