Recorded Discs
The Blu-ray Disc player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a CD-
ROM containing MP3, AAC or WMA files. The player will
also play DVD-Video content recorded to a DVD-R or
DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (either pressed or re-
corded) are not supported. Compressed audio and DivX
recorded on DVD is playable.
If you record a disc using a personal computer, there may
be cases where the Blu-ray Disc 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 guidelines
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 Romeo format. Other
formats (such as HFS, or others) are not supported. •
The player recognizes a maximum of 2000 files and 255
folders (includes the ROOT folder) 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 Blu-ray Disc 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, and DVD-R) is with a permanent marker.
Do not use adhesive labels as they may separate from the
disc, become stuck, and cause permanent damage to the
DVD player.
Compressed Audio Files (MP3, WMA and AAC)
The Blu-ray Disc player is capable of playing MP3
(MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3), WMA (Windows Media Audio)
files and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) from a CD Data
disc (usually a CD-R or CD-RW) or DVD Data disc (usually
a DVD-R or DVD-RW).
546 MULTIMEDIA

•The Blu-ray Disc player always uses the file extension to
determine the audio format, so MP3 files must always
end with the extension “.mp3” or “.MP3” and WMA
files must always end with the extension “.wma” or
“.WMA” and AAC files must always end with the
extension and “.aac” or “.AAC” or “m4a”. To prevent
incorrect playback, do not use these extensions for any
other types of files.
• For MP3 files, ID3v1, ID3v2 tag data (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
Blu-ray player will automatically skip the file and begin
playing the next available file.
• Other compression formats such as MP3 Pro, Ogg
Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not play. The Blu-ray player
will automatically skip the file and begin playing the
next available file.
• If you are creating your own files, the recommended
fixed bit rate for MP3 files is between 32 and 320Kbps
and the recommended fixed bit rate for WMA files is
between 16 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 “Seek
Forward” or “Seek Back” buttons to return to the start of
the current or previous file.
• AAC (MPEG-4 AAC, Low Complexity Profile) support.
• AAC HE v1 (AAC High Efficiency v1 aka. AAC/
MPEG4v2 AAC+) support.
• HE-AAC v1, v2 support.
Disc Errors
If the Blu-ray Disc player is unable to read the disc, a Disc
Error message is displayed on the rear screen and Radio
displays. A dirty, damaged, or incompatible disc format are
all potential causes for a Disc Errormessage.
If a disc has a damaged track which results in audible or
visible errors that persists for two seconds, the Blu-ray Disc
player will attempt to continue playing the disc by skip-
ping forward one to three seconds at a time. If the end of
the disc is reached, the Blu-ray Disc player will return to
the beginning of the disc and attempt to play the start of
the first track.
The Blu-ray Disc player may shut down during extremely
hot conditions, such as when the vehicle’s interior tem-
perature is above 140° F (60.0° C). When this occurs, the
player will display High Tempand will shut off the Rear
