NOTE: The playback condition of some
DVD discs may be determined by a DVD
software producer. This DVD changer
plays a disc as the software producer in-
tended. So some functions may not work
properly. Be sure to read the instruction
manual for the DVD disc separately pro-
vided. For the detailed information about
DVD video discs, see (g) DVD player and
DVD video disc informationº on page 217.
Precautions on DVD video disc
When recording with a DVD video, DVD
audio or video CD, audio tracks may not
record in some cases while the menu is
displayed. As audio will not play in this
case, verify that the video tracks are play-
ing and then activate playback.
When playback of a disc is completed:
If an audio CD or MP3/WMA disc is
playing, the first track or file starts.
If a DVD video, DVD audio or video CD
is playing, playback will stop or the
menu screen will be displayed.
The title/chapter number and playback
time display may not appear while playing
back certain DVD video discs.
CAUTION
Conversational speech on some
DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound ef-
fects. If you adjust the volume as-
suming that the conversations repre-
sent the maximum volume level that
the DVD will play, you may be startled
by louder sound effects or when you
change to a different audio source.
The louder sounds may have a signif-
icant impact on the human body or
pose a driving hazard. Keep this in
mind when you adjust the volume.

FM
Fading and drifting stations Ð General-
ly, the effective range of FM is about 40 km
(25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which in-
crease with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often accompanied
by distortion.
Multi-path Ð FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this hap-
pens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering Ð These occur
when signals are blocked by buildings,
trees, or other large objects. Increasing
the bass level may reduce static and flut-
tering.
Station swapping Ð If the FM signal you
are listening to is interrupted or weakened,
and there is another strong station nearby
on the FM band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
AM
Fading Ð AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere Ð especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference Ð 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 broad-
cast.
Static Ð AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE TAPE
PLAYER AND TAPES
For high performance from your cassette
tape player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regu-
larly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can de-
crease sound quality and tangle your
cassette tapes. The easiest way to
clean them is by using a cleaning tape.
(A wet type is recommended.)
Use high-quality cassettes:
Low-quality cassette tapes can cause
many problems, including poor sound,
inconsistent playing speed, and
constant auto-reversing. They can
also get stuck or tangled in the cassette
tape player.
Do not use a cassette if it has been
damaged or tangled or if its label is
peeling off.
Do not leave a cassette in the player if
you are not listening to it, especially if
it is hot outside.
Store cassettes in their cases and out
of direct sunlight.
Avoid using cassettes with a total play-
ing time longer than 100 minutes (50
minutes per side). The tape used in
these cassettes is thin and could get
stuck or tangled in the cassette tape
player.

CD-R AND CD-RW DISCS
CD-R/CD-R W discs that have not
been subject to the finalizing processº
(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-R W 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 re-
corded on a personal computer de-
pending on the application settings and
the environment. Record with the cor-
rect format. (For details, contact the
appropriate application manufacturers
of the applications.)
CD-R/CD-R W 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.
