qRadio Reception

Operating Tips for Audio

System

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. Because

of this, two stations may sometimes be

picked up on the same frequency at the

same time.

WARNING

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. Always adjust the

audio while the vehicle is stopped.

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.

Ionosphere

Station 1

Station 2

FM characteristics

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.

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.

FM Station

NOTE

l

To prevent the battery from being

40—50km

(25—30 miles)

discharged, do not leave the audio system

on for a long period of time when the

engine is not running.

l

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.

6-15

Interior Comfort

Audio System

Signals from an FM transmitter are similar

to beams of light because they do not

bend around corners, but they do reflect.

Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot

travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM

stations cannot be received at the great

distances possible with AM reception.

Flutter/Skip 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.

Ionosphere

FM wave

AM wave

FM wave

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.

Weak signal noise

In suburban areas, broadcast signals

become weak because of distance from

the transmitter. Reception in such fringe

areas is characterized by sound breakup.

Multipath noise

Since FM signals can be reflected by

obstructions, it is possible to receive both

the direct signal and the reflected 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.

Reflected wave

Direct

Interior Comfort

Audio System

Strong signal noise

qOperating Tips for CD Player/In-

Dash CD Changer

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.

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/In-dash CD changer 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.

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.

Handling the CD player/In-dash CD

changer

The following precautions should be

observed.

l

Do not spill any liquid on the audio

system.

Station 2

88.3 MHz

Station 1

88.1 MHz

l

Do not insert any objects, other than

CDs, into the slot.

l

The CD revolves at high speed within

the unit. Defective (cracked or badly

bent) CDs should never be used.

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/In-dash CD changer 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.

l

Do not use non-conventional discs

such as heart-shaped, octagonal discs,

etc. The disc may not eject resulting in

a malfunction.

l

When driving over uneven surfaces,

the sound may jump.

l

If the memory portion of the CD is

transparent or translucent, do not use

the disc.

l

The CD player/In-dash CD changer has

been designed to play CDs bearing the

identification logo as shown. No other

discs can be played.

Transparent

l

Use discs that have been legitimately

produced. If illegally-copied discs such

as pirated discs are used, the system

may not operate properly.

Insert discs one by one. If two discs are

inserted at the same time, the system

may not operate properly.

The CD player/In-dash CD changer

ejects the CD if the CD is inserted

upside down. Also dirty and/or

defective CDs may be ejected.

Do not insert cleaning discs in the CD

player/In-dash CD changer.

l

Do not insert any disc with a peel-off

seal affixed to it.

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.

l

Be sure never to touch the signal

surface when handling the CDs. Pick

up a CD by grasping the outer edge or

the edge of the hole and the outer edge.

l

CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB

cannot be played.

This unit may not be able to play

certain discs made using a computer

due to the application (writing

software) setting used. (For details,

consult the store where the application

was purchased.)

It is possible that certain text data, such

as titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW

may not be displayed when musical

data (CD-DA) is playing.

l

Do not stick paper or tape on the CD.

Avoid scratching the reverse side (the

side without a label). The disc may not

eject resulting in a malfunction.

Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can

decrease the amount of light reflected

from the signal surface, thus affecting

sound quality. If the CD should

l

become soiled, gently wipe it with a

soft cloth from the center 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.

l

The period from when a CD-RW is

inserted to when it begins playing is

longer than a normal CD or CD-R.

Completely read the instruction manual

and cautions for CD-R/CD-RWs.

Specialized glossary

MP3

Bit rate

Refers to the volume of data per second,

expressed in bps (bits per second).

Generally, the larger the number of the

transfer bit rate when compressing an

MP3 file, the more information regarding

musical reproduction it carries, and

therefore the better the sound quality.

Abbreviation for “MPEG Audio Layer 3”.

A technical standard for audio

compression as decided by an ISO

(International Organization for

Standardization) MPEG working group.

Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be

compressed to approximately a tenth of

the source data size.

Packet writing

A general term for the method, similar to

that used for floppy discs or hard drives,

of recording the required file in a single

increment on a CD-R and similar.

ISO 9660

An international standard for logical

formatting of CD-ROM files and folders.

It is divided into three separate levels

based on differences in file naming

procedures, data configuration and other

characteristics.

ID3 Tag

ID3 tag is a method for storing

information related to the music in an

MP3 file. Information such as track, artist

and album name can be stored. This

content can be freely edited using ID3

editing function software.

Multi-session

A session is the complete amount of data

recorded from the beginning to the end of

a single period of CD-ROM, CD-R/CD-

RW data recording. Multi-session refers to

the existence of data from two or more

sessions on a single disc.

VBR

Abbreviation for Variable Bit Rate. While

CBR (Constant Bit Rate) is generally

used, VBR varies the bit rate for audio

compression according to compression

conditions and this allows for

Sampling

Refers to the process of encoding analog

audio data at regular intervals and

converting it to digital data. The sampling

rate refers to the number of times a

sample is taken in one second and is

expressed in Hz units. Increasing the

sampling rate improves the sound quality

but also increases the data size.

compression with preference given to

equipment when it is in the initial state,

when there is a change in the user's

subscription condition, or when the

SIRIUS channel map is changed.

“UPDATING xx%” is displayed when the

SIRIUS channel map is changed. If the

unit is initialized or the user contract

content is changed, “UPDATING” is

displayed. Updating could take as long as

three minutes depending on the

geographical area. When the unit is in an

initialized state, channel 184 is displayed

after the display indicates

“UPDATING 100%”. If the SIRIUS

channel map or the user contract content

is changed, the channel prior to the

change is displayed after “UPDATING” is

displayed. After the initialization display,

it may take as long as 12 seconds to

receive channel 184.
