DISC PLAYER OUTLINE
A CD player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on CDs. By converting the digital signals to analog, music and other content can be played.
CAUTION:
Do not look directly at the laser pickup because the CD player uses an invisible laser beam. Be sure to operate the player only as instructed.
Note
Do not disassemble any part of the CD player.
Do not apply oil to the CD player.
Do not insert anything but a CD into the CD player.

Precautions for handling discs
Note
Copy-controlled CDs cannot be used.
Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs are not playable as a result of: 1) the type of recording method used, 2) the type of disc, 3) scratches, 4) contamination, or 5) the disc being in the vehicle for an extended amount of time, leading to deterioration.
CD-Rs and CD-RWs that have not been finalized cannot be played.
When handling a disc, be careful not to put fingerprints, stains or scratches on the disc.
When holding a disc, pinch the center hole and edge of the disc with your fingers. Face the printed side upward.
If a disc is ejected by pressing the eject button and left partially ejected for an extended period of time, the disc may become deformed and unusable.
A disc may not be able to be ejected or the player may become damaged if: 1) cellophane tape, stickers, CD-R labels or rental CD labels are attached; or 2) residue from removed tape, stickers or labels remains.
Avoid direct sunlight when storing discs as they may become deformed and unusable.
Do not use uniquely-shaped discs as they may damage the player.
Do not use discs where part of the recording surface is transparent or translucent. If used, the disc may become unable to be inserted, ejected and played normally.
Tech Tips
Just as condensation fogs the vehicle windows during wet or cold weather, condensation may also form inside the player. If condensation forms, CD skipping or playback stoppage may occur. Ventilate or dehumidify the vehicle for a while before using the player.
If the player vibrates severely due to driving on a rough road, the CD may skip.
Cleaning
Note
Do not use lens cleaner when cleaning the player, as it may damage the pickup part of the player.
To clean dirty discs, use a dry, soft cloth such as those used for glasses with plastic lenses. Lightly wipe radially from the center of the disc.
Note
Pressing the disc roughly with your hand or scrubbing with a hard cloth may scratch the disc surface.
Using record spray, anti-static agents, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other solvents, and chemical cloths on a disc will damage the disc and may make the disc unusable.
MP3 OUTLINE
Playable MP3 file standards
| Compatible standard | MP3 (MPEG1 LAYER3, MPEG2 LSF LAYER3) |
| Compatible sampling frequency |
|
| Compatible bit rate |
|
| Compatible channel mode | Stereo, joint stereo, dual channel, monaural |
ID3 tag
Additional textual information called ID3 tags can be input to MP3 files. Information such as song titles and artist names can be stored.
Tech Tips
This player is compatible with the ID3 tags of ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1, and ID3 Ver. 2.2 and 2.3. (Number of characters complies with ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1).
Usable media
Only CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (CD-Recordable), and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be used to play MP3 files.
Note
CD-Rs and CD-RWs are more easily affected by a hot and humid environment than discs used for normal audio CDs. For this reason, some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be playable.
If there are fingerprints or scratches on the disc, the disc may not be playable or the CD may skip.
Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs deteriorate if they are left in the cabin for a long time.
Keep CD-Rs and CD-RWs in a storage case that is non-transparent.
Usable media format
Usable media format
| Disc format | CD-ROM Mode 1, CD-ROM XA Mode 2 Form1 |
| File format | ISO9660 Level 1 and Level 2 (Joliet, Romeo) |
Tech Tips
As for MP3 files written in any format other than those above, the contents of the files may not be playable or the file names or folder names may not be displayed correctly.
This player is compatible with multi-session discs and can play CD-Rs and CD-RWs on which MP3 files are added. However, only the first session can be played.
Discs whose first session includes both music data and MP3 format data cannot be played.
Standards and restrictions
| Maximum directory levels | 8 levels |
| Maximum number of characters for a folder name/file name | 32 characters |
| Maximum number of folders | 192 (Including empty folders, root folders, and folders that do not contain MP3 files) |
| Maximum number of files in a disc | 255 (Including non-MP3 files) |
File names
Only files with an extension of ".mp3" can be recognized and played as MP3 files.
Save MP3 files with an extension of ".mp3".
Note
If saving non-MP3 files with an extension of ".mp3", those files are wrongly recognized as MP3 files and played. A loud noise may occur and damage to the speaker may result.
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION OUTLINE
The audio system has a diagnostic function. The result is indicated on the master unit.
A 3-digit hexadecimal component code (physical address) is allocated to each component on the AVC-LAN. Using this code, the component can be displayed in the diagnostic function.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CHART
| Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
| Physical address (component code) |
|
| Logical address | Two-digit code (in hexadecimals) given to each function and component unit in each component of AVC-LAN. |
Tech Tips
Titles for each unit below are stated in the following order: physical address (part name).
190 (RADIO RECEIVER)
| DTC | Diagnostic Item | Diagnostic Content | Troubleshooting |
|---|---|---|---|
| D5*1 | Absence of Registration Unit | When either condition below is met:
|
|
| D8*2 | No Response for Connection Check | Device indicated by the sub-code is (was) disconnected from the system after the engine starts. |
|
| D9*1 | Last Mode Error | Device that had functioned before the engine stopped is (was) disconnected from the system when the ignition switch is (was) in ON or ACC. |
|
| DA | No Response Against ON/OFF Command | When either condition below is met:
|
|
| DB*1 | Mode Status Error | Dual alarm is detected. |
|
| DC*3 | Transmission Error | Transmission to the component shown by the sub-code failed. (Detecting this DTC does not always mean an actual failure). | If same sub-code is recorded in other components, check harness of power supply and communication system of all components shown by code. If not, delete DTCs and recheck. |
| DE*4 | Slave Reset | Code is stored when the slave device has been disconnected after the engine starts. |
|
| E1*1 | Voice Processing Device ON Error | AMP device records that the AMP output does not function even while the source device operates. |
|
| E4*1 | Multiple Frame Incomplete | Multiple frame transmission is incomplete. | Since this DTC is provided for engineering purposes, it may be detected when no actual failure exists. |
Tech Tips
*1: Even if no failure is detected, a trouble code may be recorded depending on the battery condition or engine start voltage.
*2: If the power connector is disconnected after the engine starts, this code is recorded after 180 seconds.
*3: This code may be stored if the engine is started, idled for 60 seconds and then started again.
*4: This code may be stored if an engine start is attempted while the engine is running.
| DTC | Diagnosis Item | Diagnosis Content | Troubleshooting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 42 | Disc cannot be Read | Disc cannot be read. |
|
| 44 | CD Abnormal | Operation error in the CD mechanism. | Replace radio receiver. |
| 47 | High Temperature | A sensor detects that the CD unit temperature is high. | Put vehicle in shade and allow it to cool down with ignition switch off, and then recheck for DTCs. |
