9. AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM OPERATING HINTS
Fading and drifting stations: Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 40 km
(25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which
increase with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often accompa-
nied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for 2 signals to reach
the vehicle’s 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 flutter-
ing.
Station swapping: If the FM signal be-
ing listened to is interrupted or weak-
ened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, the radio may
tune in the second station until the orig-
inal signal can be picked up again.
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video system
operations:
• Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.
• Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc slot.
• 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, a problem with radio recep-
tion does not mean there is a problem
with the radio — it is just the normal
result of conditions outside the vehi-
cle.
For example, nearby buildings and
terrain can interfere with FM recep-
tion. Power lines or telephone wires
can interfere with AM signals. And
of course, radio signals have a limit-
ed range. The farther the vehicle is
from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception condi-
tions change constantly as the vehi-
cle moves.
Here, some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with the radio are described.

Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from
the radio station, causing the radio sta-
tion 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 difficult to hear
the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening or elec-
trical motors. This results in static.

The MP3/WMA player does not play
back MP3/WMA files from discs
recorded using packet write data trans-
fer (UDF format). Discs should be
recorded using “pre-mastering” soft-
ware rather than packet-write software.
M3u playlists are not compatible with
the audio player.
MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO
formats are not compatible with the
audio player.
The player is compatible with VBR
(Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files recorded as
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play
time will not be correctly displayed if
the fast forward or reverse operations
are used.
It is not possible to check folders that
do not include MP3/WMA files.
MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 lev-
els deep can be played. However, the
start of playback may be delayed when
using discs containing numerous levels
of folders. For this reason, we recom-
mend creating discs with no more than
two levels of folders.The play order of the compact disc with
the structure shown above is as follows:
MP3/WMA player: It is possible to
play up to 192 folders or 255 files on
one disc.
USB memory: It is possible to play up
to 3000 folders, 255 files per folder or
9999 files in the device.
The order changes depending on the
personal computer and MP3/WMA
encoding software you use.

CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a
process that allows discs to be played
on a conventional CD player) cannot be
played.
It may not be possible to play CD-R/
CD-RW discs recorded on a music CD
recorder or a personal computer
because of disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt,
condensation, etc. on the lens of the
unit.
It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer
depending on the application settings
and the environment. Record with the
correct format. (For details, contact the
appropriate application manufacturers
of the applications.)
CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high
temperatures or other storage condi-
tions. The unit may be unable to play
some damaged discs.
If you insert a CD-RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, playback will begin
more slowly than with a conventional
CD or CD-R disc.
Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot
be played using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on-demand to
CD-R, etc., in the same way that data is
written to floppy or hard discs.
This is a method of embedding track-
related information in an MP3 file. This
embedded information can include the
track title, the artist’s name, the album
title, the music genre, the year of pro-
duction, comments and other data. The
contents can be freely edited using soft-
ware with ID3 tag editing functions.
Although the tags are restricted to a
number of characters, the information
can be viewed when the track is played
back.
WMA files can contain a WMA tag
that is used in the same way as an ID3
tag. WMA tags carry information such
as track title and artist name.

This is the international standard for the
formatting of CD-ROM folders and
files. For the ISO 9660 format, there
are 2 levels of regulations.
Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format
(8 character file names, with a 3 charac-
ter file extension. File names must be
composed of one-byte capital letters
and numbers. The “_” symbol may also
be included.)
Level 2: The file name can have up to
31 characters (including the separation
mark “.” and file extension). Each
folder must contain fewer than 8 hierar-
chies.
Playlists created using “WINAMP”
software have a playlist file extension
(.m3u).
MP3 is an audio compression standard
determined by a working group
(MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan-
dard Organization). MP3 compresses
audio data to about 1/10 the size of that
on conventional discs.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an
audio compression format developed
by Microsoft
®. It compresses files into
a size smaller than that of MP3 files.
The decoding formats for WMA files
are Ver. 7, 8 and 9.
