2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER Owners Manual

●During cold or rainy weather, the player may
malfunction due to the humidity. If this oc-
curs, remove the CD and dehumidify or ven-
tilate the player completely.
● The player may skip while driving on rough
roads.
● The CD player sometimes cannot function
when the passenger compartment tempera-
ture is extremely high. Decrease the tem-
perature before use.
● 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.
● Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight.
● CDs that are of poor quality, are dirty,
scratched, or covered with fingerprints, or
that have pin holes 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
– 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 prerecorded
CDs. It has no capabilities to record or burn
CDs.
● If a CD cannot be played, one of the follow-
ing messages will be displayed.
[Disc read error:]
Indicates a CLV/Focus, TOC or Access er-
ror. Check and re-insert the CD. Make sure
that it is inserted correctly.
[Eject disc, please:]
Indicates a mechanism error. If the CD can
be ejected, eject and re-insert the CD. If the
CD cannot be ejected, it is recommended
that you contact a NISSAN dealer.
[Unplayable error:]
Indicates that no readable files are found on
the inserted CD. Check the data on your CD.Compressed audio files (MP3/WMA/
AAC)
Explanation of terms:
● MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well known compressed digital audio
file format. 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 can reduce the file size by ap-
proximately a 10:1 ratio (sampling: 44.1 kHz,
bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually no percep-
tible loss in quality. The compression re-
duces certain parts of the sound that seem
inaudible to most people.
● WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a
compressed audio format created by Micro-
soft 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 compared 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
conversion) per second.
● Multisession — Multisession is one of the
methods 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, album title,
encoding bit rate, and track time duration,
etc. ID3 tag information is displayed on the
Album/Artist/Track title line on the display.

The folder names of folders not containing
compressed audio files are not shown on the
display.
● If there is a file in the top level of a disc/USB,
the root folder is displayed.
● The playback order is the order in which the
files were written by the writing software, so
the files might not play in the desired order.
● The music playback order of compressed
audio files is as illustrated.
