6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
IS250/350_Navi_U
■COMPATIBLE CHANNEL MODES
zMP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA
(Windows Media Audio) and AAC
(Advanced Audio Coding) are audio com-
pression standards.
z This system can play MP3/WMA/AAC
files on CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW
discs and USB memory.
z This system can play disc recordings com-
patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2
and with the Romeo and Joliet file system
and UDF (2.01 or lower).
z When naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file,
add an appropriate file extension (.mp3/
.wma/.m4a).
z This system plays back files with .mp3/
.wma/.m4a file extensions as MP3/WMA/
AAC files respectively. To prevent noise
and playback errors, use the appropriate
file extension.
z This system can play only the first session/
border when using multi session/border
compatible discs.
z MP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag
Ve r. 1 . 0 , Ve r. 1 .1 , Ve r. 2 . 2 a n d Ve r. 2 . 3 f o r -
mats. This system cannot display disc title,
track title and artist name in other formats.
z WMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/
AAC tag that is used in the same way as an
ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags carry informa-
tion such as track title and artist name.
z The emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3 files.
z This system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes. z
The sound quality of MP3/WMA files gen-
erally improves with higher bit rates. In
order to achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, discs recorded with a bit rate
of at least 128 kbps are recommended.
z M3u playlists are not compatible with the
audio player.
z MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO
formats are not compatible with the audio
player.
z The player is compatible with VBR (Vari-
able Bit Rate).
z When playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if the fast for-
ward or reverse operations are used.
z It is not possible to check folders that do not
include MP3/WMA/AAC files.
z MP3/WMA/AAC files in folders up to 8
levels deep can be played. However, the
start of playback may be delayed when
using discs containing numerous levels of
folders. For this reason, we recommend
creating discs with no more than 2 levels of
folders.

INFORMATION
●Exposure to radio frequency signals:
The Lexus Enform system installed in
your vehicle includes a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. The system
receives and also sends out radio fre-
quency (RF) signals.
● In August 1996, the Federal Communi-
cations Commission (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for
mobile wireless phones. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and interna-
tional standards bodies.
• ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
• NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement) Report
86 [1986]
• ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection)
[1996]
● These standards are based on compre-
hensive and periodic evaluations of the
relevant scientific literature. Over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, government health agen-
cies, and industry reviewed the available
body of research to develop the ANSI
Standard (C95.1).
● The design of Lexus Enform system com-
plies with the FCC guidelines in addition
to those standards.

ics Subscription Service Agreement

subscribed vehicles are capable of com-
municating vehicle information. Please
see the terms and conditions for addi-
tional details.
