(h) If the player malfunctions
If ºWAITº appears on the display, audio signals of the disc cannot be read or
the system has trouble. Push the ºCDº button once again.
If the player does not operate, check that the disc surface is not soiled or
damaged. If the disc is O.K., the following cause is possible.

The temperature of the player's internal mechanism is raised because of
high external temperature. Remove the magazine from the player to cool
it.

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 terrain can interfere with FM receptio\
n.
Power lines or telephone wires can interfere with AM signals. And of course,
radio signals have a limited range, and the farther you are from a station, t\
he
weaker its signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantl\
y
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 notice fading and dr\
ifting,
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 cance\
l
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.
