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 malfunction. Wait more than
10 minutes with satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large build-
ing 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 subscrip-
tion is active. Satellite radio is not available
in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satel-
lite antenna.
A build-up of ice on the satellite radio an-
tenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. 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 DIGITAL AUDIO” logo on the disc or
packaging.
• During cold weather or rainy days, the
player may malfunction due to the hu-
midity. If this occurs, remove the CD and
dehumidif y or ventilate the player
completely.
• The player may skip while driving on
rough roads.
• The CD player sometimes cannot func-
tion when the compartment tempera-
ture is extremely high or low. Decrease/
increase the temperature before use.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight.
4-48Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

•CDs that are in poor condition or are
dirty, scratched or covered with finger-
prints 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 re-
cord 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 tem-
perature inside the player. Remove the
CD by pressing the EJECT button. Af ter 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 or WMA (if so equipped) CD).
Compressed audio files
(MP3/WMA)
Terms
• MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well-known compressed digital au-
dio 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 from CD-ROM can re-
duce the file size by approximately a
10:1 ratio with virtually no perceptible 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 Mi-
crosof t 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 digi-
tal audio file is determined 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 digi-
tal (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, encod-
ing bit rate, track time duration, etc. ID3 tag
information is displayed on the Artist/
song title line on the display.

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 af ter 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 be-
fore the music starts playing.
Music cuts off or skips The writing sof tware 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 sof tware. Therefore, the files might not play
in the desired order.

connected during a seek operation.
• An incorrect song title may appear when the Play Mode is changed while using an
iPod® nano (2nd Generation).
• Audiobooks may not play in the same or- der as they appear on an iPod®.
•
Large video files cause slow responses in an
iPod®. The vehicle center display may mo-
mentarily black out, but will soon recover.
• If an iPod® automatically selects large video files while in the shuffle mode, the
vehicle center display may momentarily
black out, but will soon recover.
