The track number you select is not valid if
it is higher than the number of the tracks re-
maining on the current side of the cassette.
When the tape reaches to the begin-
ning, the player will automatically start
playing that side.
After the tape reaches to the end, the
player will automatically reverse and
start playing the other side.
There must be at least 3 seconds of blank
space between tracks for the switch to
work correctly. In addition, the feature may
not work well with some spoken, live, or
classical recordings.

NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video sys-
tem operations:
Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.
Do not put anything other than a
cassette tape or appropriate discs
into the cassette tape slot, CD
changer or DVD changer slot.
The use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the
audio/video system which you are
listening to. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
Radio reception
Usually, the problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with your
radio - it is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
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, and the farther you
are from a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a prob-
lem with your radio:FM
Fading and drifting stations Ð General-
ly, the effective range of FM is about 40 km
(25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which in-
crease with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often accompanied
by distortion.
Multi-path Ð FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this hap-
pens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering Ð These occur
when signals are blocked by buildings,
trees, or other large objects. Increasing
the bass level may reduce static and flut-
tering.
Station swapping Ð If the FM signal you
are listening to is interrupted or weakened,
and there is another strong station nearby
on the FM band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
AM
Fading Ð AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere Ð especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference Ð When a reflected
signal 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.
Static Ð 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.

CD-R AND CD-RW DISCS
CD-R/CD-R W discs that have not
been subject to the finalizing processº
(a process that allows discs to be
played on a conventional CD player)
cannot be played.
It may not be possible to play CD-
R/CD-R W discs recorded on a music
CD recorder or a personal computer
because of disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt,
condensation, etc. on the lens of the
unit.
It may not be possible to play discs re-
corded on a personal computer de-
pending on the application settings and
the environment. Record with the cor-
rect format. (For details, contact the
appropriate application manufacturers
of the applications.)
CD-R/CD-R W discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high
temperatures or other storage condi-
tions. The unit may be unable to play
some damaged discs.
If you insert a CD-RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, playback will begin
more slowly than with a conventional
CD or CD-R disc.
Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot
be played using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.CARING FOR YOUR CD CHANGER,
DVD CHANGER AND DISCS
Your CD changer and DVD changer is
intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.)
discs only.
Extremely high temperature can keep
your CD changer and DVD changer
from working. On hot days, use air
conditioning to cool the vehicle interior
before you listen to a disc.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your CD changer and DVD chan-
ger skip.
If moisture gets into your CD changer
and DVD changer, you may not hear
any sound even though your CD
changer and DVD changer appears to
be working. Remove the discs from the
CD changer and DVD changer and
wait until it dries.
CAUTION
CD changer and DVD changer player
use an invisible laser beam which
could cause hazardous radiation
exposure if directed outside the unit.
Be sure to operate the changer
correctly.

Correct

Handle discs carefully, especially
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.
Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or
other disc damage could cause the
changer to skip or to repeat a section of
a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc
up to the light.)
Remove discs from the changer when
you are not using them. Store them in
their plastic cases away from moisture,
heat, and direct sunlight.
To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint-
free cloth that has been dampened with
water. Wipe in a straight line from the cen-
ter to the edge of the disc (not in a circle).
Do not use a conventional record cleaner
or anti-static device.
