Operating Tips for Audio System
Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.
Do not insert any objects, other
than CDs, into the slot.
●To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the audio system
on for a long period of time when the engine is not running.
● If a cellular phone or CB radio is used in or near the vehicle, it could cause
noise to occur from the audio system, however, this does not in dicate that
the system has been damaged.
WARNING
■ Always adjust the audio wh ile the vehicle is stopped
Do not adjust the audio control switches while driving the vehi cle. Adjusting
the audio while driving the vehicle is dangerous as it could di stract your
attention from the vehicle operation which could lead to a seri ous accident.
Even if the audio control switches are equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking down at them so that you ca n keep your
maximum attention on the road while driving the vehicle.
NOTICE
For the purposes of safe driving, adjust the audio volume to a level that
allows you to hear sounds outside of the vehicle including car horns and
particularly emergency vehicle sirens.

Interior Features
■AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as buildings or mountains and
bounce off the ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach lon ger distances than FM signals.
Because of this, 2 stations may sometimes be picked up on the
same frequency at the same time.
Ionosphere
Station 1
Station 2
■FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about 25 - 30 miles (40 - 50 km)
from the source. Because of extra coding needed to break the
sound into 2 channels, stereo FM has even less range than monau -
ral (non-stereo) FM.

Signals from an FM transmitter are similar to beams of light
because they do not bend around corners, but they do reflect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot travel beyond the horizon.
Therefore, FM stations cannot be received at the great distance s
possible with AM reception.

Obstruction
Atmospheric conditions can also affect FM reception. High humidity
will cause poor reception. However , cloudy days may provide better
reception than clear days.

Interior Features
●Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflect ed by obstructions, it is possible
to receive both the direct signal and the reflected signal at the
same time. This causes a slight delay in reception and may be
heard as a broken sound or a distortion. This problem may also
be encountered when in close p roximity to the transmitter.
Direct
Reflected wave
● Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmit-
ter move in straight lines and
become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, moun-
tains, and other obstacles.
When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the
reception conditions may
change suddenly, resulting in
annoying noise.
● Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast
signals become weak
because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in
such fringe areas is charac-
terized by sound breakup.

●Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a
transmitter tower. The broad-
cast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise
and sound breakup at the
radio receiver.
● Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area o f 2 strong stations broadcast-
ing at similar frequencies, the original station may be tempora rily
lost and the second station picked up. At this time there will be
some noise from this disturbance.
Station 1
88.1 MHz
Station 2
88.3 MHz
■Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on t he heater when the vehicle is col d, the
CD or optical components (prism and lens) in the CD player may
become clouded with c ondensation. At this time, the CD will eje ct
immediately when placed in the unit.
A clouded CD can be corrected simply by wiping it with a soft c loth.
Clouded optical comp onents will clear natur ally in about an hour.
Wait for normal operation to ret urn before attempting to use the
unit.

■Handling the CD player
The following precautions should be observed.• Do not use deformed or cracked CDs. The disc may
not eject resulting in a mal-
function.
• Do not use non-conventional discs such as heart-shaped,
octagonal discs, etc.
The disc may not eject result-
ing in a malfunction.
• If the memory portion of the CD is transparent or translu-
cent, do not use the disc.

• A new CD may have roughedges on its inner and outer
perimeters. If a disc with
rough edges is used, proper
setting will not be possible
and the CD player will not
play the CD. In addition, the
disc may not eject resulting
in a malfunction. Remove the
rough edges in advance by
using a ball-point pen or pen-
cil as shown below. To
remove the rough edges, rub
the side of the pen or pencil
against the inner and outer
perimeter of the CD.
• When driving over uneven surfaces, the sound may
jump.
• CDs bearing the logo shown in the illustration can be
played. No other discs can
be played.
• Use discs that have been legitimately produced. If illegally-c op-
ied discs such as pirated disc s are used, the system may not
operate properly.

Interior Features
• Be sure never to touch thesignal surface when handling
the CDs. Pick up a CD by
grasping the outer edge or
the edge of the hole and the
outer edge.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the CD. Avoid scratching the reverse side (the side without a label). The disc may not eject
resulting in a malfunction.
• Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can decrease the amount of ligh t
reflected from the signal surface, thus affecting sound quality . If
the CD should become soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth f rom
the center of the CD to the edge.
• Do not use record sprays, ant istatic agents, or household spra y
cleaners. Volatile chemicals such as benzine and thinner can
also damage the surface of the CD and must not be used. Any-
thing that can damage, warp, or fo g plastic should never be used
to clean CDs.
• The CD player ejects the CD if the CD is inserted upside down.
Also dirty and/or defecti ve CDs may be ejected.
• Do not insert cleaning discs in the CD player.
• Do not insert any disc with a peel-off seal affixed to it.
• This unit may not be able to play certain CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer or music CD recorder due to disc characteris-
tics, scratches, smudges, dirt, etc., or due to dust or condens a-
tion on the lens i nside the unit.
• Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to direct sunlight or high tem-
perature may damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make them
unplayable.
• CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 7 00 MB cannot be played.

• This unit may not be able to play certain discs made using acomputer due to the application (writing software) setting used .
(For details, consult the store where the application was pur-
chased.)
• It is possible that certain tex t data, such as titles, recorded on a
CD-R/CD-RW may not be displayed when musical data (CD-DA)
is playing.
• The period from when a CD-RW is inserted to when it begins
playing is longer than a normal CD or CD-R.
• Completely read the instruction manual and cautions for CD-R/ CD-RWs.
• Do not use discs with cellophane tape adhering, partially peel ed
off labels, or adhesive material exuding from the edges of the CD
label. Also, do not use discs w ith a commercially-available CD- R
label affixed. The disc may not e ject resulting in a malfunction.
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3, which is standardized voice
compression establ ished by the ISO
*1 working group (MPEG).
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be compressed to approximat ely
a tenth of the source data size.
This unit plays files with the extension (.mp3) as MP3 files.
*1: International Organization for Standardization
• This audio system handles MP3 files that have been recorded on
CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROMs.
• When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add an MP3 file extension (.mp3) after the file name.
• The number of characters which can be displayed is restricted.
