Operating Tips for Audio  
System  
ꢀ ꢀ  
To prevent the battery from being  
discharged, do not leave the audio  
system on for a long period of time  
when the engine is not running.  
If a cellular phone or CB radio is  
used in or near the vehicle, it could  
cause noise to occur from the audio  
system, however, this does not  
indicate that the system has been  
damaged.  
WARNING  
ꢀ ꢀ  
Always adjust the audio while the  
vehicle is stopped:  
Do not adjust the audio control  
switches while driving the vehicle.  
Adjusting the audio while driving  
the vehicle is dangerous as it could  
distract your attention from the vehicle  
operation which could lead to a serious  
accident.  
Do not spill any liquid on the audio  
system.  
Even if the audio control switches are  
equipped on the steering wheel, learn  
to use the switches without looking  
down at them so that you can keep your  
maximum attention on the road while  
driving the vehicle.  
Do not insert any objects, other than CDs,  
into the slot.  
CAUTION  
For the purposes of safe driving, adjust  
the audio volume to a level that allows  
you to hear sounds outside of the vehicle  
including car horns and particularly  
emergency vehicle sirens.

Interior Features  
Audio System  
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar  
to beams of light because they do not  
bend around corners, but they do reÀect.  
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot  
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM  
stations cannot be received at the great  
distances possible with AM reception.  
Radio Reception  
AM characteristics  
AM signals bend around such things as  
buildings or mountains and bounce off the  
ionosphere.  
Therefore, they can reach longer distances  
than FM signals.  
Ionosphere  
Because of this, two stations may  
sometimes be picked up on the same  
frequency at the same time.  
FM wave  
AM wave  
FM wave  
Ionosphere  
100—200 km (60—120 miles)  
Atmospheric conditions can also affect  
FM reception. High humidity will cause  
poor reception. However, cloudy days may  
provide better reception than clear days.  
Station 1  
Station 2  
Multipath noise  
FM characteristics  
Since FM signals can be reÀected by  
obstructions, it is possible to receive both  
the direct signal and the reÀected signal  
at the same time. This causes a slight  
delay in reception and may be heard as a  
broken sound or a distortion. This problem  
may also be encountered when in close  
proximity to the transmitter.  
An FM broadcast range is usually about  
40—50 km (25—30 miles) from the  
source. Because of extra coding needed to  
break the sound into two channels, stereo  
FM has even less range than monaural  
(non-stereo) FM.

Interior Features  
Audio System  
Flutter/Skip noise  
Strong signal noise  
Signals from an FM transmitter move in  
straight lines and become weak in valleys  
between tall buildings, mountains, and  
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes  
through such an area, the reception  
conditions may change suddenly, resulting  
in annoying noise.  
This occurs very close to a transmitter  
tower. The broadcast signals are extremely  
strong, so the result is noise and sound  
breakup at the radio receiver.  
Station drift noise  
When a vehicle reaches the area of two  
strong stations broadcasting at similar  
frequencies, the original station may be  
temporarily lost and the second station  
picked up. At this time there will be some  
noise from this disturbance.  
Weak signal noise  
In suburban areas, broadcast signals  
become weak because of distance from the  
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas  
is characterised by sound breakup.

If the memory portion of the CD is  
transparent or translucent, do not use the  
disc.  
Operating Tips for CD Player  
Condensation phenomenon  
Immediately after turning on the heater  
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or  
optical components (prism and lens) in  
the CD player may become clouded with  
condensation. At this time, the CD will  
eject immediately when placed in the unit.  
A clouded CD can be corrected simply by  
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical  
components will clear naturally in about  
an hour. Wait for normal operation to  
return before attempting to use the unit.  
Transparent  
ꢀ ꢀ  
A new CD may have rough edges on its  
inner and outer perimeters. If a disc with  
rough edges is used, proper setting will  
not be possible and the CD player will  
not play the CD. In addition, the disc  
may not eject resulting in a malfunction.  
Remove the rough edges in advance  
by using a ball-point pen or pencil as  
shown below. To remove the rough  
edges, rub the side of the pen or pencil  
against the inner and outer perimeter of  
the CD.  
Handling the CD player  
The following precautions should be  
observed.  
ꢀ ꢀ  
Do not use deformed or cracked CDs.  
The disc may not eject resulting in a  
malfunction.  
ꢀ ꢀ

This unit may not be able to play certain  
CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer  
or music CD recorder due to disc  
characteristics, scratches, smudges, dirt,  
etc., or due to dust or condensation on  
the lens inside the unit.  
Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to  
direct sunlight or high temperature may  
damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make  
them unplayable.  
ꢀ ꢀ

and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.  
Do not use discs with cellophane tape  
adhering, partially peeled off labels,  
or adhesive material exuding from the  
edges of the CD label. Also, do not use  
discs with a commercially-available  
CD-R label af¿xed. The disc may not  
eject resulting in a malfunction.

ꢀ ꢀ  
Dust, ¿nger smudges, and dirt can  
decrease the amount of light reÀected  
from the signal surface, thus affecting  
sound quality. If the CD should become  
soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth  
from the centre of the CD to the edge.  
Do not use record sprays, antistatic  
agents, or household spray cleaners.  
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and  
thinner can also damage the surface of  
the CD and must not be used. Anything  
that can damage, warp, or fog plastic  
should never be used to clean CDs.

This audio system handles MP3 ¿les  
that have been recorded on CD-R/CD-  
RW/CD-ROMs.  
When naming an MP3 ¿le, be sure to  
add an MP3 ¿le extension (.mp3) after  
the ¿le name.  
Operating Tips for MP3  
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3,  
which is standardised voice compression  
established by the ISO*1 working group  
(MPEG).  
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be  
compressed to approximately a tenth of  
the source data size.  
The number of characters which can be  
displayed is restricted.  
This unit plays ¿les with the extension  
(.mp3) as MP3 ¿les.  
Operating Tips for WMA  
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio  
and is the audio compression format used  
by Microsoft.  
*1 International Organisation for  
Standardisation  
Audio data can be created and stored at a  
higher compression ratio than MP3.  
This unit plays ¿les with the extension  
(.wma) as WMA ¿les.  
CAUTION  
Do not use an audio ¿le extension on  
¿les other than audio ¿les. In addition,  
do not change the audio ¿le extension.  
Otherwise, the unit will not recognise  
the ¿le correctly resulting in noise or a  
malfunction.

DVD-Video  
DVD-Video is a video image storing  
standard determined by the DVD forum.  
“MPEG2”, a global standard in digital  
compression technologies, has been  
adopted which compresses on average  
about 1/40th of the image data and stores  
it. In addition, a variable-rate coding  
technology, which changes the assigned  
information amount according to the shape  
of the screen image, has been adopted.  
Audio information can be stored using  
Dolby digital instead of PCM (Pulse Code  
Modulation) and more realistic sounding  
audio can be enjoyed.
