Toyota Corolla Hybrid (2022 year). Manual in english



When naming an
MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an
appropriate file extension
(.mp3/.wma/.m4a).



This system plays back files
with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file
extensions as
MP3/WMA/AAC files respec-
tively. To prevent noise and
playback errors, use the
appropriate file extension.



MP3 files are compatible with
the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1,
Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats.
This system cannot display
disc title, track title and artist
name in other formats.



WMA/AAC files can contain a
WMA/AAC tag that is used in
the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA/AAC tags carry infor-
mation such as track title and
artist name.



The emphasis function is

available only when playing
MP3 files.



This system can play back
AAC files encoded by iTunes.



The sound quality of
MP3/WMA files generally
improves with higher bit rates.



m3u playlists are not compati-
ble with the audio player.



MP3i (MP3 interactive) and
MP3PRO formats are not
compatible with the audio
player.



The player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).



When playing back files
recorded as VBR (Variable Bit
Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if
the fast forward or reverse
operations are used.



It is not possible to check fold-
ers that do not include
MP3/WMA/AAC files.



MP3/WMA/AAC files in fold-
ers up to 8 levels deep can be
played. However, the start of
playback may be delayed
when using USB memory
containing numerous levels of
folders. For this reason, we
recommend creating USB
memory with no more than 2
levels of folders.

■

ID3 tag

This is a method of embedding

track-related information in an
MP3 file. This embedded infor-
mation can include the track
number, track title, the artist’s
name, the album title, the music
genre, the year of production,
comments, cover art and other
data. The contents can be freely
edited using software with ID3
tag editing functions. Although
the tags are restricted to a num-
ber of characters, the informa-
tion can be viewed when the
track is played back.

■

WMA tag

WMA files can contain a WMA
tag that is used in the same way
as an ID3 tag. WMA tags carry
information such as track title
and artist name.

■

MP3

MP3 is an audio compression
standard determined by a work-
ing group (MPEG) of the ISO
(International Standard Organi-
zation). MP3 compresses audio
data to about 1/10 the size of
that on conventional discs.

■

WMA



WMA (Windows Media Audio)
is an audio compression for-
mat developed by Microsoft

It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files.
The decoding formats for
WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and 9.

to take your hands off the
steering wheel.

This system supports Blue-

is a wire-

less data system that
enables cellular phones to
be used without being con-
nected by a cable or placed

The operating procedure of
the phone is explained here.
