NOTICE

Be careful not to spill beverages over the system.
 Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or
Compact Disc into the slot.
 Do not put anything other than a DVD video, DVD
audio, video CD, dtsCD and audio CD into the DVD
player.
 The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehicle
may cause a noise from the speakers of the system
which you are listening to. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
Radio reception
Usually, a 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 reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere
with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited
range.
The farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly 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 ef fective 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 accompanied by
distortion.
Multipath − FM signals are reflective, making it possible for
two signals to reach your 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 fluttering.
Station swapping − 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.
