When listening to a CD Audio or CD Data disc, pushing the remote control’s Pop-Up/Menu button displays a list of all commands which control playback of the disc.

Video Screen Display Settings

When watching a video source (Blu-ray™ Disc or DVD Video with the disc in Play mode, Aux Video, etc.), pushing the remote control’s SETUP button activates the Display Settings menu. These settings control the appearance of the video on the screen. The factory default settings are already set for optimum viewing, so there is no need to change these settings under normal circumstances.

To change the settings, push the remote control’s Navigation buttons (▴, ▾) to select an item, then push the remote control’s Navigation buttons (▸, ◂◂) to change the value for

the currently selected item. To reset all values back to the original settings, select the Default Settings menu option and push the remote control’s ENTER/OK button.

Disc Features control the remote Blu-ray™ Disc player's settings of DVD being watched in the remote player.

To listen to only the audio portion of the channel with the screen closed:

    Set the audio to the desired source and channel.
    Close the video screen.

    To change the current audio mode, push the remote control’s Source button. This will automatically select the next available audio mode without using the Mode/ Source Select menu.
    When the screen is reopened, the video screen will auto- matically turn back on and show the appropriate display menu or media.

If the screen is closed and there is no audio heard, verify that the headphones are turned on (the On indicator is illumi- nated) and the headphone selector switch is on the desired channel. If the headphones are turned on, push the remote control’s power button to turn audio on. If audio is still not heard, check that fully charged batteries are installed in the headphones.

The Blu-ray™ Disc player is capable of playing the following types of 4.7-inch (12-centimeter) diameter discs:

9

    BD: BDMV (Profile 1.1), BDAV (Profile 1.1)
    DVD: DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, AVCREC, AVCHD, DVD-VR
    CD: CD-DA, VCD, CD-TEXT
    DVD/CD: MP3, WMA, AAC, DivX (versions 3 – 6) profile 3.0

DVD Region Codes

The Blu-ray™ Disc player and many DVD 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 disc does not match the region code for the player, the disc will not play.

DVD Audio Support

When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the Blu-ray™ Disc 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 auto- matically 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 Blu-ray™ Disc player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA files. The player will also play DVD-Video content recorded to a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (either pressed or recorded) are not supported.

If you record a disc using a personal computer, there may be cases where the Blu-ray™ Disc 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 guidelines 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 UDF, HFS, or others) are not supported.
    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.

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

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 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 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 Blu-ray™ player will automatically skip the file and begin playing 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 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 9

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 tempera- ture 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 neces- sary to protect the optics of the Blu-ray™ Disc player.
