■When “ERROR”, “WAIT” or “NO MUSIC” is shown on the display
“ERROR”:
This indicates a trouble either in the CD or inside the player. The CD may be dirty, dam-
aged, or inserted up-side down.

This indicates that operation is stopped due to a high temperature inside the player. Wait
for a while and then press the “CD” button. If the CD still cannot be played back, contact
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
“NO MUSIC”:

■Discs that can be used
Discs with the marks shown below can be used.
Playback may not be possible depending on recording format or disc features, or due to
scratches, dirt or deterioration.
CDs with copy-protection features may not be used.
■Lens cleaners
Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so may damage the CD player.
■If discs are left inside the CD player or in the ejected position for extended periods of
time

■MP3 and WMA files
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER 3) is a standard audio compression format.
Files can be compressed to approximately 1 /10 of their original size by using MP3 com-
pression.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.
This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3 format.
There is a limit to the MP3 and WMA file st andards that can be used and to the media/
formats on which the files are recorded.

●Extensions
If the file extensions .mp3 and .wma are used for files other than MP3 and WMA files,
they will be mistakenly recognized and play ed as MP3 and WMA files. This may result
in large amounts of interference and damage to the speakers.
●Playback
• To play MP3 files with steady sound quality, we recommend a fixed bit rate of at least 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
• CD-R or CD-RW playback may not be po ssible in some instances, depending on
the characteristics of the disc.
• There is a wide variety of freeware and other encoding software for MP3 and WMA files on the market, and depending on the status of the encoding and the file format,
poor sound quality or noise at the start of playback may result. In some cases, play-
back may not be possible at all.
• When files other than MP3 or WMA files are recorded on a disc, it may take more time to recognize the disc and in some ca ses, playback may not be possible at all.
• Microsoft, Windows, and Windows Media are the registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.A. and other countries.
