Infiniti G35 (2008 year). Manual — part 13

iPod

T player (if so equipped)

● Some characters used in other languages

(Chinese, Japanese, etc.) are not displayed

properly on the vehicle center screen. We rec-

ommend using English language characters

with an iPodT.

● Large video podcast files cause slow re-

sponses in the iPodT. The vehicle center dis-

play may momentarily black out, but it will

soon recover.

● Improperly plugging in the iPodT may cause

a checkmark to be displayed on and off (flick-

ering). Always make sure that the iPodT is

connected properly.

● The iPodT nano (2nd Generation) will con-

tinue to fast forward or rewind if it is discon-

nected during a seek operation.

● An incorrect song title may appear when the

Play Mode is changed while using the iPodT

nano (2nd Generation).

● Audiobooks may not play in the same order

as they appear on the iPodT.

● The iPodT nano (1st Generation) may remain

in fast forward or rewind mode if it is con-

nected during a seek operation. In this case,

please manually reset the iPodT.

● If you are using an iPodT (3rd Generation with

Dock connector), do not use very long names

for the song title, album name or artist name

to avoid the iPodT from resetting itself.

● Be careful not to do the following, or the

cable could be damaged and a loss of func-

tion may occur.

–

Bend the cable excessively (1.6 in (40

mm) radius minimum).

–

Twist the cable excessively (more than

180 degrees).

–

Pull or drop the cable.

–

Close the center console lid on the cable

or connectors.

–

Store objects with sharp edges in the

storage where the cable is stored.

–

Spill liquids on the cable and connectors.

● Do not connect the cable to the iPodT if the

cable and/or connectors are wet. It may dam-

age the iPodT.

● If the cable and connectors are exposed to

water, allow the cable and/or connectors to

dry completely before connecting the cable

to the iPodT (wait 24 hours for it to dry).

● If the connector is exposed to fluids other

than water, evaporative residue may cause a

short between the connector pins. In this

case, replace the cable, otherwise damage to

the iPodT and a loss of function may occur.

● If the cable is damaged (insulation cut, con-

nectors cracked, contamination such as liq-

uids, dust, dirt, etc. in the connectors), do not

use the cable and contact an INFINITI dealer

to replace the cable with a new one.

● When not in use for extended periods of time,

store the cable in a clean, dust free environ-

ment at room temperature and without direct

sun exposure.

● Do not use the cable for any other purposes

other than its intended use in the vehicle.

Compact Disc (CD)/CompactFlash (CF)

with MP3 or WMA

Explanation of terms
● MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures

Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the

most well known compressed 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 from CD/CF can reduce the file

size by approximately 10:1 ratio (Sampling:

44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) 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-

crosoft 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 files.

The size and quality of a compressed digital

audio file is determined by the bit rate used

when encoding the file.

● Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency

is the rate at which the samples of a signal

are converted from analog to digital (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 con-

tains information about the digital music file

such as song title, artist, album title, encod-

ing bit rate, track time duration, etc. ID3 tag

information

is

displayed

on

the

Album/Artist/Track title line on the display.

tered trademarks or trademarks of Microsoft

Playback order
Music playback order of the CD/CF with MP3 or

WMA is as illustrated above.
● The folder names of folders not containing

MP3/WMA files are not shown in the display.

Troubleshooting guide

Symptom

Cause and Countermeasure

Cannot play

Check if the CD/CF was inserted correctly.
Check if the CD/CF 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 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 disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the

setting of MP3/WMA 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 CD/CF is protected by copyright.

Poor sound quality

Check if the CD/CF 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 MP3/WMA CD/CF, or if it is a multisession disc, some time may be re-

quired 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.

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, 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.
