Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA/AAC) (if so equipped)
Explanation of terms:
.MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pic-
tures Experts Group Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is the most well known com-
pressed 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 approximately a 10:1 ratio (Sam-
pling: 44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with
virtually no perceptible loss in quality.
The compression reduces certain
parts of sound that seem inaudible
to most people.
. 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 compared to MP3s at the same
level of quality.

intellectual property rights of Micro-
soft Corporation and third parties. Use
or distribution of such technology
outside of this product is prohibited
without a license from Microsoft or an authorized Microsoft subsidiary and
third parties.
. AAC/M4A — Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) is a lossy audio compression
format. Audio files that have been
encoded with AAC are generally smal-
ler in size and deliver a higher quality
of sound than MP3.
. 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 deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-
quency 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 methods for writing data to med-
ia. Writing data once to the media is
called a single session, and writing
more than once is called a multises-
sion.
. 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,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/ Artist/Track title line on the display.

Playback order:
.The folder names of folders not con-
taining compressed audio files are not
shown in the display.
. If there is a file in the top level of a
disc/USB, “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.
. Music playback order of compressed
audio files is as illustrated.

Troubleshooting guide:
SymptomCause and Countermeasure
Cannot play Check if the disc or USB device was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour)
before using the player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data) and compressed audio files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-
DA data) will be played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3 (.mp3)”, “.WMA (.wma)”, “.AAC (.aac)”, “.M4A (.m4a)”, or “.AA3 (.aa3)” 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 disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the
setting of compressed audio writing applications or other text editing applications.
Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the disc or USB device is protected by copyright.
Poor sound quality Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
It takes a relatively long time
before the music starts playing. If there are many folder or file levels on the disc or USB device, 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.
Move immediately to the next
song when playing. If an unsupported compressed audio file has been given a supported extension like .MP3, or when play is prohibited
by copyright protection, the player will skip to the next song.
The 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, so the files might not play in
the desired order.
Random/Shuffle may be active on the audio system or on a USB device.

Compressed Video Files (models
with navigation system)
Explanation of terms:
.DivX® - DivX® refers to the DivX® codec
owned by DivX, Inc. used for a lossy
compression of video based on MPEG-
4.
. AVI - AVI stands for Audio Video
Interleave. It is a standard file format
originated by Microsoft Corporation. A
“.divx” encoded file can be saved into
the “.avi” file format for playback on
this system if it meets the require-
ments stated in the table in this
section. However, not all the “.avi” files
are playable on this system since
different encodings can be used than
the DivX® codec.
. ASF - ASF stands for Advanced Sys-
tems Format. It is a file format owned
by Microsoft Corporation. Note: Only “.
asf” files that meet the requirements
stated in the table in this section can
be played. .
Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
video file. The size and quality of a
compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.

Bluetooth® Audio player (models
with navigation system)
Bluetooth® is a trademark
owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
and licensed to Clarion Co.,
Ltd.
.Some Bluetooth® audio devices may
not be recognized by the in-vehicle
audio system.
. It is necessary to set up the wireless
connection between a compatible
Bluetooth® audio device and the in-
vehicle Bluetooth® module before
using the Bluetooth® audio player.
. Operating procedure of the Blue-
tooth® audio player will vary depend-
ing on the device. Make sure it is
understood how to operate an audio
device before using it with this system.
. The Bluetooth® audio player may be
stopped under the following condi-
tions:
— Receiving a hands-free call.
— Checking the connection to the
hands-free phone.
. Do not place a Bluetooth® audio
device in an area surrounded by metal
or far away from the in-vehicle Blue-
tooth® module to prevent tone quality
degradation and wireless connection
disruption.

.While an audio device is connected
through a Bluetooth® wireless con-
nection, the battery power of the
device may discharge quicker than
usual.
. This system supports the Bluetooth®
Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP,
AVRCP).
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4 GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and the wireless LAN func-
tions at the same time may slow down
or disconnect the communication and
cause undesired noise. It is recom-
mended that you turn off the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth®
functions.
