Why is CD/DVD playback not working on my Pioneer AVIC-F70DAB Car Navigation system?

  If CD or DVD playback isn't working on your Pioneer Car Navigation system, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the disc is inserted correctly, with the label facing up. A dirty disc can also cause playback issues, so try cleaning it. Check for any cracks or damage; if present, use a normal, round disc instead. Finally, the issue might stem from the disc's file format or the disc type being incompatible with your system. Check the file format or replace the disc if necessary.
