Car audio system operating

hints

TEXT

Here are some common reception prob-

lems that probably do not indicate a prob-

lem with your radio:

NOTICE

This button is used to change the display

for the compact disc that contains text

data.

To ensure correct audio system op-

erations:

z Be careful not to spill beverages

over the audio system.

To change the display, quickly push and

release the “TEXT” button while the com-

pact disc is playing. The display changes

in the order from the elapsed time to disc

title to track title, then back to the

elapsed time.

Fading and drifting stations—Generally, the

effective range of FM is about 40 km (25

miles). Once outside this range, you may

notice fading and drifting, which increase

with the distance from the radio transmit-

ter. They are often accompanied by distor-

tion.

z Do not put anything other than a

cassette tape or compact disc into

the slot.

z The use of a cellular phone inside

or near the vehicle may cause a

noise from the speakers of the au-

dio system which you are listening

to. However, this does not indicate

a malfunction.

If this button is pushed while a compact

disc that does not contain text data is

playing, “NO TITLE” will appear on the

display.

Multi−path—FM signals are reflective,

making it possible for two signals to reach

your antenna at the same time. If this

happens, the signals will cancel each oth-

signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or

other large objects. Increasing the bass

level may reduce static and fluttering.

problem with radio reception

TUNE (Tuning)

does not mean there is a problem with

your radio—it is just the normal result of

conditions outside the vehicle.

Turn the “TUNE” knob clockwise to step

up the frequency. Turn the knob counter-

clockwise to step down the frequency.

Station swapping—If the FM signal you

are listening to is interrupted or weak-

ened, and there is another strong station

nearby on the FM band, your radio may

tune in the second station until the origi-

nal signal can be picked up again.

For example, nearby buildings and terrain

can interfere with FM reception. Power

lines or telephone wires can interfere with

AM signals. And of course, radio signals

have a limited range. The farther you are

from a station, the weaker its signal will

be. In addition, reception conditions

change constantly as your vehicle moves.

Use high−quality cassettes.

CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC

PLAYER AND DISCS

Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by

the upper atmosphere—especially at night.

These reflected signals can interfere with

those received directly from the radio sta-

tion, causing the radio station to sound

alternately strong and weak.

many problems, including poor sound,

constant auto−reversing. They can also

get stuck or tangled in the cassette

player.

D Extremely high temperatures can keep

your compact disc player from working.

On hot days, use the air conditioning

to cool the vehicle interior before you

listen to a disc.

Station interference—When a reflected sig-

nal and a signal received directly from a

radio station are very nearly the same

frequency, they can interfere with each

other, making it difficult to hear the broad-

cast.

D Do not use a cassette if it has been

damaged or tangled or if its label is

peeling off.

D Bumpy roads or other vibrations may

cause your compact disc player to

skip.

D Do not leave a cassette in the player

if you are not listening to it, especially

if it is hot outside.

D If moisture gets into your compact disc

player, you may not hear any sound

even though your compact disc player

appears to be working. Remove the

disc from the player and wait until it

dries.

Static—AM is easily affected by external

sources of electrical noise, such as high

tension power lines, lightening, or electri-

cal motors. This results in static.

D Store cassettes in their cases and out

of direct sunlight.

D Avoid using cassettes with a total play-

ing time longer than 100 minutes (50

minutes per side). The tape used in

these cassettes is thin and could get

stuck or tangled in the cassette player.

CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER

AND TAPES

CAUTION

For the best performance for your cas-

sette player and tapes:

Compact disc players use an invisible

laser beam which could cause hazard-

ous radiation exposure if directed

outside the unit. Be sure to operate

the player correctly.

Clean the tape head and other parts regu-

larly.

D A dirty tape head or tape path can

decrease sound quality and tangle your

cassette tapes. The easiest way to

clean them is by using a cleaning tape.

(A wet type is recommended.)

D Handle compact discs carefully, espe-

cially when you are inserting them.

Hold them on the edge and do not

bend them. Avoid getting fingerprints

on them, particularly on the shiny side.

To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a

soft, lint−free cloth that has been damp-

ened with water. Wipe in a straight line

from the center to the edge of the disc

(not in circles). Dry it with another soft,

lint−free cloth. Do not use a conventional

record cleaner or anti−static device.

D Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or

other disc damage could cause the

player to skip or to repeat a section of

a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the

disc up to the light.)

D Remove discs from the compact disc

player when you are not listening to

them. Store them in their plastic cases

away from moisture, heat, and direct

sunlight.
