AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper
atmosphere — especially at night. These reflected signals can
interfere with those received directly from the radio station,
causing
the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference — 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 dif ficult
to hear the broadcast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical
motors. This results in static.
Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For the best performance for your cassette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
 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.) Use high−
quality cassettes:
 Low−quality cassette tapes can cause many problems,
including poor sound, inconsistent playing speed, and
constant auto −reversing. They can also get stuck or tangled
in the cassette player.
 Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or tangled or
if its label is peeling off.
 Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening
to it, especially if it is hot outside.
 Store cassettes in their cases and out of direct sunlight.
 Avoid using cassettes with a total playing 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.

254Caring for your CD player and CDs

REAR SEAT AUDIO SYSTEM
The rear seat audio system is designed for the rear seat
passengers to enjoy the audio sound separately between
the front seats and the rear seats.
The rear seat audio system can be turned on with the rear
audio system remote control even if the front audio system is
off. When the front audio is turned off, the rear audio system
will be turned off simultaneously.
The rear passengers can enjoy all the modes (AM and FM
radio, cassette tape player and CD player with changer) with
the rear seat audio system when a cassette tape and a CD are
loaded in the front audio system.
When the same mode is selected on the front and rear audio
systems at the same time, the system can be operated on the
front audio system.
If the radio mode is selected on the front and rear audio
systems at the same time, AM and FM modes cannot be
changed on the rear seat audio system.

Your audio system adjusts to the optimum volume and tone
quality automatically. While the system is adjusting the audio

audio source. Be sure to adjust the volume with this
in mind.
Make sure the volume is not increased, before you
