Disc Formats
The DVD player is capable of playing the following types
of discs (8 cm or 12 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 mate-
rial is automatically mixed down to two channels, which
may result in a lowered apparent volume level. If you
4
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 381

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 are
closed 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 recording
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 perma-
nent marker. Do not use adhesive labels as they may
separate from the disc, become stuck, and cause perma-
nent 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; sam-
pling 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 .mp3or.MP3, WMA files
must always end with the extension .wmaorWMA,
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 play-
ing the next available file.
• If you are creating your own files, the recommended
fixed bit rate for MP3 files is between 96 and 192Kbps
and the recommended fixed bit rate for WMA files is
4
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 383

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 con-
trol’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 tempera-
ture is above 120°F (49°C). When this occurs, the DVD
player will display
High Tempand will shut off the
display until a safe temperature is reached. This shut-
down is necessary to protect the optics of the DVD
player.

your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated
by relocating the mobile device antenna. This condition is
4
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 387

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 device operation when
not using Uconnect (if equipped).

The air conditioning and heating system is designed to
make you comfortable in all types of weather. This
system can be operated through either the instrument
panel or through the Uconnect system display.
When the Uconnect system is in different modes (Radio,

temperature settings will be indicated at the top of the
display.
