The Blu-Ray Player is capable of the playing the follow-
ing types of discs (12 cm diameter):

• BD: BDMV (Profile 1.1), BDAV

profile 3.0

Compressed Video Files (DivX)

The Blu-Ray Player is capable of playing DivX files from
a CD disc (usually a CD-R, CD-RW) or a DVD disc
(usually a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW or DVD+RW).

• The Blu-Ray Player always uses the file extension to

determine the video format, so DivX files must always

end with the extension “.div”, “divx” or “.avi.” To
prevent incorrect playback, do not use these extensions
for any other types of files.

• For DivX files, only DivX Home Theater Profile Ver.3.0

is supported.

• Any file that is copy protected will not play. The

Blu-Ray Player will automatically skip the file and
begin playing the next available file.

• Other compression formats such as Xvid and RMP4

will not play. The Blu-Ray Player will automatically
skip the file and begin playing the next available file.

• For the lack of indexes DivX files, “Resume Play,”

“Fast Forward” and “Fast Rewind” cannot be sup-
ported.

• DivX Home Theater Profile 3.0 requires:

• Maximum resolution 720 x 480 @ 30fps or 720 x 576

@ 25fps

• Minimum resolution 16 x 16
• Maximum frame rate for progressive source 30

frames per second

• Maximum field rate for interlaced source 60 fields

per second

• To change the current chapter, use the remote control’s

or Blu-Ray Player’s “Fast Forward” button to advance
to the next chapter, or the “Fast Rewind” button to
return to the start of the current or previous chapter.

DVD/Blu-ray/BD Region Codes

The DVD player/Blu-ray Player and many DVD/Blu-ray
Discs are coded by geographic region. These region codes
must match in order for the disc to play. If the region code

for the DVD/Blu-ray Disc does not match the region
code for the player, the disc will stop playing and a
warning will be displayed.

DVD Audio Support

When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the DVD player,
the DVD-Audio title on the disc is played by default
(most DVD-Audio discs also have a Video title, but the
Video title is ignored). All multi - channel program
material is automatically mixed down to two channels,
which may result in a lowered apparent volume level. If
you increase the volume level to account for this change
in level, remember to lower the volume before changing
the disc or to another mode.

Recorded Discs

The DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a
CD-ROM containing MP3, WMA or AAC (Blu-ray Disc
Player only) files. The player will also play DVD-Video

4

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

445

content recorded to a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. DVD-
ROM discs (either pressed or recorded) are not sup-
ported.

If you record a disc using a personal computer, there may
be cases where the DVD player may not be able to play
some or the entire disc, even if it is recorded in a
compatible format and is playable on other players. To
help avoid playback problems, use the following guide-
lines when recording discs.

• Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions that are

closed are playable.

• For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD-

Audio sessions, the player will renumber the tracks so
each track number is unique.

• For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the

ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or Romeo format.
Other formats (such as HFS, or others) are not sup-
ported.

• Blu-ray Disc Player can extend 2,000 files and 255

folders.

• The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and 99

folders per CD-R and CD-RW disc.

• Mixed media recordable DVD formats will only play

the Video_TS portion of the disc.

• Mixed disc which contains ⬙DivX⬙ will be priority

played on Blu-ray Disc Player.

If you are still having trouble writing a disc that is
playable in the DVD player, check with the disc recording
software publisher for more information about burning
playable discs.

446

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

The recommended method for labeling recordable discs
(CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R) is with a permanent marker.
Do not use adhesive labels as they may separate from the
disc, become stuck, and cause permanent damage to the
DVD player.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3 / WMA and ACC)

The DVD/Blu-ray Player (if equipped) is capable of
playing MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Win-
dows 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 exten-
sion

⬙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.

• For Blu-ray files, only version 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.2 / 2.3 and

2.4 ID3 tag data (such as artist name, track title, album,
etc.) are supported.

• Any file that is copy protected (such as those down-

loaded from many online music stores) will not play.
The DVD player will automatically 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 play-
ing the next available file.

• If you are creating your own files, the recommended

fixed bit rate for MP3 files is between 96 and 192 Kbps
and the recommended fixed bit rate for WMA files is
between 64 and 192 Kbps. Variable bit rates are also

4

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

447

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 䉱

button to advance to the next file, or the

䉲 button to

return to the start of the current or previous file.

• To change the current directory, use the remote con-

trol’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 1.0 to 3.0 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 tempera-
ture is above 120° F (49° C). The Blu-ray Player may shut
down when the vehicle’s interior temperature exceeds
140° F (60° C). When this occurs, the DVD/Blu-ray 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/Blu-ray
Player.

The Blu-ray player may require additional reading time
during extremely cold weather conditions. When this
occurs, allow the vehicles interior temperature to warm,
then insert disc into player.

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 audi-
ences 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 passen-
ger 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.

450

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

The default rating is Level 8 (play all discs without a
password) and the default password is 0000.

To set the password, activate the DVD Setup Menu and
follow these additional instructions:

• Using the remote control Left and Right cursor but-

tons, select the Rating tab.

• Highlight ⬙Change Password⬙, and then push the

remote control’s ENTER/OK button.

• Enter the current password. Select a digit, use the

remote control Up and Down cursor buttons to set the
value for the current digit, and then push the remote
control’s Right cursor button to select the next digit.
Repeat this digit selection sequence for all four digits.
