SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a mal-
function. Wait more than 10 minutes with satellite
radio ON and the vehicle outside of any metal or
large building for satellite radio to receive all of
the necessary data.
No satellite radio reception is available and “NO
SAT” is displayed when the SAT band option is
selected unless optional satellite receiver and
antenna are installed and a SiriusXM® Satellite
Radio service subscription is active. Satellite ra-
dio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite radio
signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite
antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna can
affect satellite radio performance. Remove the
ice to restore satellite radio reception.
AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Compact disc (CD) player
CAUTION
• Do not force a compact disc into the CD insert slot. This could damage the
CD and/or CD player.
• Trying to load a CD with the CD door closed could damage the CD and/or
CD player.
• Only one CD can be loaded into the CD player at a time.
• Only use high quality 4.7 in (12 cm) round
discs that have the “COMPACT disc DIGI-
TAL AUDIO” logo on the disc or packaging.
• During cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to the humid-
ity. If this occurs, remove the CD and de-
humidify or ventilate the player
completely.
• The player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
• The CD player sometimes cannot function
when the compartment temperature is ex-
tremely high or low. Decrease/increase
the temperature before use.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight.
4-40Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems

•CDs that are in poor condition or are dirty,
scratched or covered with fingerprints
may not work properly.
• The following CDs may not work properly.
– Copy control compact discs (CCCD)
– Recordable compact discs (CD-R)
– Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)
• Do not use the following CDs as they may
cause the CD player to malfunction: – 3.1 in (8 cm) discs with an adapter
– CDs that are not round
– CDs with a paper label
– CDs that are warped, scratched, or
have abnormal edges
• This audio system can only play prere-
corded CDs. It has no capability to record
or burn CDs.
• If the CD cannot be played, one of the
following messages will be displayed.
CHECK DISC:
• Confirm that the CD is inserted correctly
(the label side is facing up, etc.) .
• Confirm that the CD is not bent or warped
and it is free of scratches. PRESS EJECT:
This is an error due to excessive tempera-
ture inside the player. Remove the CD by
pressing the EJECT button. After a short
time, reinsert the CD. The CD can be played
when the temperature of the player returns
to normal.
UNPLAYABLE:
The file is unplayable in this audio system
(only MP3 orWMA(if so equipped) CD) .
Compressed audio files (MP3/WMA)
Terms
• MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Ex-
perts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the most
well-known compressed digital audio file for-
mat. 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
from CD-ROM can reduce the file size by ap-
proximately a 10:1 ratio with virtually no percep-
tible loss in quality. MP3 compression removes
the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound
signal that the human ear doesn’t hear.
• WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a compressed audio format created by Microsoft
as an alternative to MP3. The WMA codec offers greater file compression than the MP3
codec, enabling storage of more digital audio
tracks in the same amount of space when com-
pared to MP3s at the same level of quality.
• Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of bits per second used by a digital music file. The size
and quality of a compressed digital audio file is
determined by the bit rate used when encoding
the file.
• Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency is the rate at which the samples of a signal are
converted from analog to digital (A/D conver-
sion) per second.
• Multisession — Multisession is one of the meth- ods for writing data to media. Writing data once
to the media is called a single session, and
writing more than once is called a multisession.
• ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file that contains
information about the digital music file such as
song title, artist, encoding bit rate, track time
duration, etc. ID3 tag information is displayed
on the Artist/song title line on the display.

tered trademarks and trademarks in the United
States of America and other countries of Micro-
soft Corporation of the USA.

Troubleshooting guide
SymptomCause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Check if the disc was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player. If there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the
player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the CD player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and MP3/WMA files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will
be played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3”,“.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma” 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 finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the disc is protected by copyright.
Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Bit rate may be too low.
It takes a relatively long time before the music starts
playing. If there are many folders or file levels on the MP3/WMA disc, or if it is a multisession disc, 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.
Moves immediately to the next song when playing When a non-MP3/WMA file has been given an extension of “.MP3”, “.WMA”, .“mp3”or “.wma”, or when play is prohibited by copyright protection, there will be approximately 5 seconds of no sound and then the player will skip to the next song.
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. Therefore, the files might not play in the
desired order.
