Compressed Audio Files (MP3 and WMA)
The Blu-ray™ Disc player 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 Blu-ray™ Disc 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”.
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 Blu-ray™ player will auto-
matically 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 Blu-ray™ player will automatically
skip the file and begin playing the next avail-
able 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 recommended fixed bit
rate for WMA files is between 64 and 192Kbps.
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 remote
control’s or Blu-ray™ Disc player’s
▴ button to
advance to the next file, or the
▾ button to return
to the start of the current or previous file.
Disc Errors
If the Blu-ray™ Disc player is unable to read the
disc, a “Disc Error” message is displayed on
the rear screen and Radio displays. 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 two
seconds, the Blu-ray™ Disc player will attempt to
continue playing the disc by skipping forward one to
three seconds at a time. If the end of the disc is
reached, the Blu-ray™ Disc player will return to the
beginning of the disc and attempt to play the start of
the first track.
The Blu-ray™ Disc player may shut down during
extremely hot conditions, such as when the
vehicle’s interior temperature is above 120°F
(48.9°C). When this occurs, the player will
display “High Temp” and will shut off the rear
seat displays until a safe temperature is reached.
This shutdown is necessary to protect the optics
of the Blu-ray™ Disc player.
