where it can be pulled unintentionally.
Pulling the cable may break the wire,
USB device or the port. .
To avoid damage and loss of function
when using a USB device, note the
following precautions.

1.6 in (40 mm) radius minimum.
—Do not twist the cable excessively
(more than 180 degrees).
—Do not pull or drop the cable.

objects.
—Do not store objects with sharpedges in the storage area where the
cable is stored.
—Do not leave the USB device andattached devices in the vehicle com-
partment. When not in use for
extended periods of time, store the
cable and USB device in a clean, dust
free environment at room tempera-
ture and without direct sun exposure.
—Do not use the cable for any other
purposes than its intended use in the
vehicle.
The vehicle is not equipped with a USB device. USB devices should be purchased
separately as necessary.
This system cannot be used to format USB
devices. To format a USB device, use a
personal computer.
In some states/area, the USB device for the

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

Troubleshooting guide:
SymptomCause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Check if the disc or USB device was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the
player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed audio files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will be
played.
Files with extensions other than
“.MP3 (.mp3)”,“.WMA (.wma)”, “.AAC (.aac)”,“.M4A (.m4a)”,or “.AA3 (.aa3)”cannot be played. In
addition, the character codes and number of characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the
specifications.
Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting of
compressed audio writing applications or other text editing applications.
Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the disc or USB device is protected by copyright.
Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
It takes a relatively long time before
the music starts playing. If there are many folder or file levels on the disc or USB device, some time may be required before the music starts playing.
Music cuts off or skips The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not
match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.
Skipping with high bit rate files Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.
Move immediately to the next song
when playing. If an unsupported compressed audio file has been given a supported extension like .MP3, or when play is prohibited by copyright
protection, the player will skip to the next song.
The songs do not play back in the
desired order. 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.
Random/Shuffle may be active on the audio system or on a USB device.
