Compressed Audio Files (MP3 / WMA and ACC)
The DVD is capable of playing MP3 (MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows Media
Audio) files from a CD Data disc (usually a CD-R
or CD-RW).
The DVD 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." AAC files
must always end with the extension "aac" or
"AAC." To prevent incorrect playback, do not
use these extensions for any other types of
files.
For MP3 files, only version 1 ID3 tag data
(such as artist name, track title, album, etc.)
are supported.
Any file that is copy protected (such as those
downloaded from many online music stores)
will not play. The DVD player will automati -
cally skip the file and begin playing the next
available file.
Other compression formats such as AAC,
MP3 Pro, Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not
play. The DVD player will automatically skip
the file and begin playing the next available
file.
If you are creating your own files, the recom -
mended fixed bit rate for MP3 files is
between 96 and 192 Kbps and the recom -
mended fixed bit rate for WMA files is
between 64 and 192 Kbps. Variable bit rates
are also supported. For both formats, the
recommended sample rate is either
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
To change the current file, use the DVD
player’s ▴ button to advance to the next file,
or the ▾ button to return to the start of the
current or previous file.
To change the current directory, use the
remote control’s PROG UP and Down buttons
or Rewind/skip back and fast fwd/skip
forward. Disc Errors
If the DVD player is unable to read the disc, a
"Disc Error" message is displayed on the Radio
display and the disc is automatically ejected. A
dirty, damaged, or incompatible disc format are
all potential causes for a "Disc Error" message.
If a disc has a damaged track which results in
audible or visible errors that persists for
2.0 seconds, the DVD player will attempt to
continue playing the disc by skipping forward
1 to 3 seconds at a time. If the end of the disc is
reached, the DVD player will return to the
beginning of the disc and attempt to play the
start of the first track.
The DVD player may shut down during extremely
hot conditions, such as when the vehicle’s
interior temperature is above 120°F (49°C).
When this occurs, the DVD Player will display
"High Temp" and will shut off the display until a
safe temperature is reached. This shutdown is
necessary to protect the optics of the DVD.

Other Language Setup

DVD Player Language Menu

All of the Language settings have a special
Other setting to accommodate languages other
than Japanese or English. These languages are
selected using a special four-digit code.
To enter a new language code, activate the DVD
Setup Menu. To enter DVD Setup Menu stop the
DVD, enter radio disc mode, then DVD setup
and follow these additional instructions:
Using the remote control Up and Down cursor
buttons, highlight the Language item you
want to edit, and then push the remote
control Enter/OK button.
Using the remote control Down cursor button,
select the "Other" setting, then push the
remote control’s Right cursor button to begin
editing the setting.
Using the remote control Up and Down cursor
buttons, select a digit for the current position.
After selecting the digit, push the remote
control’s Right cursor button to select the
next digit. Repeat this digit selection
sequence for all four digits.
When the entire four-digit code is entered,
push the remote control’s Enter/OK button. If
the language code is not valid, the numbers
all change back to " ?". If the digits are visible
after this step, then the language code is
valid.
Here is an abbreviated list of language codes.
For more language codes, please contact the
dealer where the vehicle was purchased. Rating And Password Setup
The Rating and Password settings work
together to control the types of DVDs that your
family watches. Most DVD-Video discs have a
rating (from 1 to 8) assigned to them where
lower numbers are designated for all audiences
and higher numbers are designated for more
adult audiences.
When a DVD-Video disc is loaded, its rating is
compared to the setting in the DVD player. If the
rating of the disc is higher than the setting in the
player, a Password screen is displayed. In order
to watch the disc, the rear passenger must
enter the correct password using the password
entry method described below.
To play all discs without requiring a password,
set the DVD player’s rating to Level 8. Setting
the rating to Level 1 always requires the
password to play any DVD disc. Not all DVD
discs encode a Rating, so it is still possible that
discs designed for adult audiences can still play
without requiring a password.
