DVD VIDEO DISC GLOSSARY
DVD video discs: Digital versatile Disc that
holds video. DVD video discs have adopted
“MPEG2”, one of the world standards of digi-
tal compression technologies. The picture
data is compressed by 1/40 on average and
stored. Variable rate encoded technology in
which the volume of data assigned to the pic-
ture is changed depending on the picture for-
mat has also been adopted. Audio data is
stored using PCM and Dolby digital, which
enables higher quality of sound. Further-
more, multi−angle and multi−language fea-
tures will also help you enjoy the more ad-
vanced technology of DVD video.
Viewer restrictions: This feature limits what
can be viewed in conformity with a level of re-
strictions of the country. The level of restric-
tions varies depending on the DVD video
disc. Some DVD video discs cannot be
played at all, or violent scenes are skipped or
replaced with other scenes.
Level 1: DVD video discs for children can be
played.
Level 2 − 7: DVD video discs for children and
G−rated movie can be played.
Level 8: All types of the DVD video discs can
be played.
Multiangle feature: You can enjoy the
same scene at different angles.

147 For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power lines
or telephone wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals. And of course, radio signals have a lim-
ited range. The farther you are from a station,
the weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception conditions change constantly as your
vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception problems
that probably do not indicate a problem with
your radio:
FM
Fading and drifting stations — Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 40 km (25
miles). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi−path — FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for two signals to reach your an-
tenna at the same time. If this happens, the
signals will cancel each other out, causing a
momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering — These occur when sig-
nals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other
large objects. Increasing the bass level may
reduce static and fluttering.Station swapping — 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 — 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 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 broadcast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high ten-
sion power lines, lightening, or electrical mo-
tors. 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 de-
crease sound quality and tangle your cas-
sette 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, in-
consistent 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 dam-
aged 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 cas-
settes is thin and could get stuck or
tangled in the cassette player.

148 CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER, DVD PLAYER AND DISCS
Your compact disc player is intended for
use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player and DVD player
from working. On hot days, use the air
conditioning to cool the vehicle interior be-
fore you use the players.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your compact disc player and DVD
player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact disc
player and DVD player, the players may
not play even though they appear to be
working. Remove the disc from the player
and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
Compact disc players and DVD players
use an invisible laser beam which could
cause hazardous radiation exposure if
directed outside the unit. Be sure to op-
erate the players correctly.

— Manual control
SETTING OPERATION
When one of the manual control switches
is depressed while operating in automatic
mode, the operation corresponding to the
depressed switch is set. Other conditions
continue to be adjusted automatically.
(a) Air flow selection
The outlets from which air is delivered can
be selected manually by touching the
switch.
The function of each mode is as follows:
1Panel — Air flows mainly from the instru-
ment panel vents.
2Bilevel — Air flows from both the floor
vents, instrument panel vents.
When you set the temperature selector
setting at about the middle in automatic
operation, warm air flows out of the floor
vents and relatively low − temperature
air flows out of the instrument panel
vents.
3Floor — Air flows mainly from the floor
vents.
4Floor/windshield — Air flows mainly
from the floor vents, windshield vents.
Take in the fresh air with selecting the
FRESH mode by the air intake control
button.
The selected mode is highlighted in green.
(b) Fan speed control
1Fan speed at low
2Fan speed at high
The fan speed can be set to your desired
speed by touching the appropriate air flow
control switch.
The higher the fan speed is, the more air is de-
livered.
Pushing the “OFF” button turns off the
fan.
To remove the exterior windshield frost and in-
terior windshield fog, use the high speed set-
ting.
The selected mode is highlighted in green.

155
(c) Air intake selector
1RECIRCULATED — Recirculates the
air inside the vehicle.
2FRESH — Draws outside air into the
system.
Each time you push the air intake control
button.
The mode changes in order from the RECIR-
CULATED mode to FRESH mode, then back
to the RECIRCULATED mode.
Each indicator light shows which mode is now
selected.
If quick circulation of cooled air is desired,
push the air intake selector button for RECIR-
CULATED mode.For normal use, it is best to keep the air intake
selector button set to the FRESH mode. If re-
circulated air is used during heating, the win-
dows will fog up more easily.
To prevent fogging up of the windshield, the
air intake mode may change automatically to
the FRESH mode depending on the condition
of the air conditioning system.
For example, when the ambient temperature
is low, the air intake mode may change auto-
matically to the FRESH mode. This is not a
malfunction.
When the air conditioning is ON, if the engine
coolant temperature becomes extremely
high, the RECIRCULATED mode is automati-
cally selected. This is not a malfunction.
When the engine coolant temperature is low-
ered, the previous mode resumes.(d) Onoff of the air conditioning
Touch the “A/C” switch.
To turn the air conditioning on and touch it
again to turn the air conditioning off.
The air conditioning does not work if the out-
side temperature is lowered down to around
0
C (32
F).
If the system is used for ventilation, heating in
dry weather or removing frost or exterior fog
on the windshield, turn the air conditioning off
once it is no longer required. This will improve
fuel economy. The air conditioning can be
used for year−round automatic temperature
control including cooling and dehumidifying
operation.
If the air conditioning compressor does not
operate, the display light of the “A/C” switch
will blink. If the display light of the “A/C” switch
blinks even when the “A/C” switch is touched
again, have the compressor checked by your
nearest dealer.
If the engine coolant temperature becomes
extremely high, the air conditioning may shut
off automatically to resolve emergency situa-
tion for engine cooling. This is not a malfunc-
tion. When the engine coolant temperature is
lowered, the air conditioning comes on auto-
matically.

156
— Automatic control
SETTING OPERATION
The automatic air conditioning automati-
cally maintains the set temperature.
In the automatic operation mode, the air con-
ditioning selects the most suitable fan speed,
air flow, air intake and on−off the air condition-
ing according to the temperature.
(a) “AUTO” button
Push the “AUTO” button.
An indicator light will illuminate to show that
the automatic operation mode has been se-
lected.
You may use manual controls if you want to
select your own settings.
INFORMATION
This automatic control has additional
function as described below, when
the “AUTO” button is pushed.
The fan speed is stopped for a little
while until warm air preparation, when
outside temperature is cold like a win-
ter season in the “Floor” or “Bilevel”
air flow mode. If quick removal for ex-
terior frost, fog and inside fog on the
windshield is desired, use the high
fan speed setting after the “Wind-
shield” air flow mode has been se-
lected.
The fan speed is stopped few sec-
onds until cool air preparation, when
outside temperature is hot like a sum-
mer season in the “Panel” or “Bilev-
el” air flow mode.
The internal circulation may be ap-
plied for maximum cooling in the au-
tomatic operation mode, when out-
side temperature is hot like a summer
season.
If fresh outside air is desired into the
vehicle, push the air intake control
button to select the FRESH mode.
