COMPACT DISC (CD) PLAYER
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Music cannot be played back. The disc is inserted upside down.Insert a CD with the label side facing up.
Moisture condensation occurs inside the unit. Wait until the moisture evaporates (approxi- mately 1 hour).
The cabin temperature is too high. Wait until the cabin temperature becomes
moderate.
The disc is scratched or dirty. A disc is not
always playable if it is scratched. Wipe off any dirt from the disc.
Depending on the condition in which they are
stored, discs may become unreadable due to
deterioration (for example, keeping the discs in
the passenger compartment, etc.). Change the disc with a deterioration-free disc.
Do not use a deteriorated disc. The label surface
of the disc may crack or chip, and the layer of the
label surface may eventually peel off.
The compressed audio files cannot be played
back. If both music CD files (CD-DA data) and
compressed audio files (MP3 data, etc.) are
mixed on one disc, the audio compression files
cannot be played back.Prepare a disc that includes compressed audio
files only.
The files are not named using characters that
are compliant with the specifications. Use the character codes and the number of
characters that are compliant with the specifi-
cations for folder names and file names. In
addition, always use “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or
“.wma” for file extensions.
It takes a long time before the music starts
playing. The disc contains a large amount of data. Some time may be required to check the files. It
is recommended that unnecessary folders or any
files other than compressed audio files should
not be recorded in a disc.
The sound quality is poor. The disc is dirty.Wipe off any dirt from the disc.
