D300800AHMHow vehicle audio worksAM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your vehicle. This signal
is then received by the radio and sent to
your vehicle speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area. AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can fol-
low the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmos-
phere. In addition, they curve around
obstructions so that they can provide bet-
ter signal coverage.

Features of your vehicle
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM
broadcasts generally begin to fade at
short distances from the station
Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, or other obstruc-
tions. These can result in certain listening
conditions which might lead you to
believe a problem exists with your radio.
The following conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble: Fading - As your vehicle moves away
from the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to fade.
When this occurs, we suggest that you
select another stronger station.
 Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears.  Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select another
station with a stronger signal.
 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed signal from the same station, or by
signals from two stations with close
frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has
passed.

4Satellite radio receptionYou may experience difficulties in receiv-
ing SIRIUS satellite radio signals in the
following situations.
 If you are driving in a tunnel or a cov-
ered parking area.
 If you are driving beneath the top level of a multi-level freeway.
 If you drive under a bridge.
 If you are driving next to a tall vehicle (such as a truck or a bus) that blocks
the signal.
 If you are driving in a valley where the surrounding hills or peaks block the
signal from the satellite.  If you are driving on a mountain road
where is the signal blocked by moun-
tains.
 If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (10 m / 30 ft.
or more), for example on an road that
goes through a dense forest.
 The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the SIR-
IUS repeater network.
NOTE:There may be other unforeseen cir-
cumstances leading to reception
problems with the SIRIUS satellite
radio signal.

Features of your vehicle
Using a cellular phone or a two-wayradioWhen a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not mean
that something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.
Care of compact discs (CDs) If the temperature inside the vehicle is too high, open the vehicle windows for
ventilation before using your vehicle
audio.
 It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA files without permission. Use CDs that
are created only by lawful means.
 Do not apply volatile agents such as benzene and thinner, normal cleaners
and magnetic sprays made for ana-
logue disc onto CDs.
 To prevent the disc surface from get- ting damaged. Hold and carry CDs by
the edges or the edges of the center
hole only.
 Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe it from
the center to the outside edge).
 Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or paper
onto it.
 Make sure objects other than CDs are not inserted into the CD player (Do not
insert more than one CD at a time).  Keep CDs in their cases after use to
protect them from scratches or dirt.
 Depending on the type of CD-R/CD- RW CDs, certain CDs may not operate
normally according to manufacturing
companies or making and recording
methods. In such circumstances, if you
still continue to use those CDs, they
may cause the malfunction of your
vehicle audio system.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
- Playing an
Incompatible Copy
Protected Audio CD
Some copy protected CDs, which do not
comply with the international audio CD
standards (Red Book), may not play on
your vehicle audio. Please note that if
you try to play copy protected CDs and
the CD player does not perform correct-
ly the CDs maybe defective, not the CD
