the Video mode is activated while the
vehicle is in motion, only the audio will
be played. If the commercially available
Rear Seat LCD Monitor is connected, the
video is shown on the Rear Seat LCD

NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video sys-
tem operations:
z Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.
z Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the CD/DVD
player slot.
z 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
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and ter-
rain can interfere with FM reception.
Power lines or telephone wires can in-
terfere 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
problem with your radio: FM
Fading and drifting stations
— Gener-
ally, the effective range of FM is about
25 miles (40 km). Once outside this
range, you may notice fading and drifting,
which increase with the distance from
the radio transmitter. They are often
accompanied by distortion.
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 other out, causing a momentary
flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering — These occur
when signals are blocked by buildings,
trees, or other large objects. Increasing
the bass level may reduce static and
fluttering.
AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected
by the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can in-
terfere with those received directly from
the radio station, causing the radio sta-
tion to sound alternately strong and
weak.
Station interference — When a re-
flected signal and a signal received di-
rectly 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 exter-
nal sources of electrical noise, such as
high tension power lines, lightening, or
electrical motors. This results in static.

MP3/WMA files
z MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and
WMA (Windows Media Audio) are
audio compression standards.
z The MP3/W MA player can play MP3
and WMA files on CD-R and CD-RW
discs.
The unit can play disc recordings
compatible with ISO 9660 level 1
and level 2 and with the Romeo and
Joliet file system.
z The USB player can play MP3 and
WMA files on USB memory device.
z When naming an MP3 or WMA file,
add the appropriate file extension
(.mp3 or .wma).
z The MP3/W MA player and USB
player play back files with .mp3
or .wma file extensions as MP3 or
WMA files. To prevent noise and
playback errors, use the appropriate
file extensions.
z The player can play only the first
session using multi-session com-
patible CDs.
z MP3 files are compatible with the
ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2,
Ver. 2.3 and Ver. 2.4 formats. The
unit cannot display disc title, track ti-
tle, artist name, and so on in other
formats.
z WMA files can contain a WMA tag
that is used in the same way as an
ID3 tag. WMA tags carry informa-
tion such as track title, artist name.
z The emphasis function is available
only when playing MP3/W MA files
recorded at 22.05, 32, 44.1 and 48
kHz. (The system can play MP3
files with sampling frequencies of 8,
11.025, 12, 16 and 24 kHz. How-
ever, the emphasis function is not
available for files recorded at these
frequencies.)
z The sound quality of MP3/W MA files
generally improves with higher bit
rates. In order to achieve a rea-
sonable level of sound quality, discs
and USB memory device recorded
with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps
are recommended. Playable bit rates
MP3 files:
MPEG1 LAYER3—32 to 320 kbps
MPEG2 LAYER3—8 to 160 kbps
MPEG2.5 LAYER3—8 to 160 kbps
WMA files:
Ver. 7, 8, 9—32 to 320 kbps
z The MP3/W MA player does not play
back MP3/W MA files from discs re-
corder using packet write data
transfer (UDF format). Discs
should be recorded using
“pre-mastering” software rather than
packet-write software.
z The m3u playlists are not compatible
with the audio player.
z MP3i (MP3 interactive) and
MP3PRO formats are not compatible
with the audio player.
z The MP3 player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
z When playing back files recorded as
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the
play time will not be correctly dis-
played if fast-forward or reverse op-
erations are used.
z It is not possible to check folders
that do not include MP3/W MA files.
z MP3/W MA files in folders up to 8
levels deep can be played. How-
ever, the start of playback may be
delayed when using discs containing
numerous levels of folders. For this
reason, we recommend creating
discs and USB memory device with
no more than two levels of folders.
z It is possible to play up to 255 fold-
ers or 999 files on one disc and USB
memory device.
