FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about
40—50 km (25—30 miles) from the
source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels, stereo
FM has even less range than monaural
(non-stereo) FM.
FM Station
40—50km
(25—30 miles)

Signals from an FM transmitter are similar
to beams of light because they do not
bend around corners, but they do re fl ect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM
stations cannot be received at the great
distances possible with AM reception.

AM wave
FM wave
FM wave
100—200 km (60—120 miles) Ionosphere

Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High humidity will cause
poor reception. However, cloudy days may
provide better reception than clear days. Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be re
fl ected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both
the direct signal and the re fl ected signal
at the same time. This causes a slight
delay in reception and may be heard as a
broken sound or a distortion. This problem
may also be encountered when in close
proximity to the transmitter.

Reflected wave
Direct

Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the reception
conditions may change suddenly, resulting
in annoying noise.

Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas
is characterized by sound breakup.

Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise and sound
breakup at the radio receiver.


Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be some
noise from this disturbance.

Station 2
88.3 MHz
Station 1
88.1 MHz

Operating Tips for MP3
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3,
which is standardized voice compression
established by the ISO
*1 working group
(MPEG).
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be
compressed to approximately a tenth of
the source data size.
This unit plays fi les with the extension
(.mp3) as MP3 fi les.

*1 International Organization for
Standardization

CAUTION
Do not use an audio fi le extension on
fi les other than audio fi les. In addition,
do not change the audio fi le extension.
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize
the fi le correctly resulting in noise or a
malfunction.

NOTE
Supply of this product only conveys a
license for private, non-commercial
use and does not convey a license nor
imply any right to use this product in any
commercial (i.e. revenue-generating)
real time broadcasting (terrestrial,

Operating Tips for WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media *1 Audio
and is the audio compression format used
by Microsoft
*1 .
Audio data can be created and stored at a
higher compression ratio than MP3.
This unit plays fi les with the extension
(.wma) as WMA fi les.

*1 Windows Media and Microsoft are
registered trademarks of Microsoft
Corporation U.S. in the United States
and other countries.


CAUTION
Do not use an audio fi le extension on
fi les other than audio fi les. In addition,
do not change the audio fi le extension.
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize
the fi le correctly resulting in noise or a
malfunction.
  WMA fi les written under speci fi cations
other than the indicated speci fi cation
may not play normally or fi les or folder
names may not display correctly.
   The fi le extension may not be provided
depending on the computer operating
system, version, software, or settings. In
this case, add the fi le extension “.wma”
to the end of the fi le name, and then
write it to the memory.

Operating Tips for AAC
AAC stands for Advanced Audio Coding,
which is standardized voice compression
established by the ISO
*1 working group
(MPEG). Audio data can be created and
stored at a higher compression ratio than
MP3.
This unit plays fi les with the extensions
(.aac/.m4a/.wav
*2 ) as the AAC fi les.
CAUTION
Do not use an audio fi le extension on
fi les other than audio fi les. In addition,
do not change the audio fi le extension.
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize
the fi le correctly resulting in noise or a
malfunction.
  AAC fi les written under speci fi cations
other than the indicated speci fi cation
may not play normally or fi les or folder
names may not display correctly.
   The fi le extension may not be provided
depending on the computer operating
system, version, software, or settings. In
this case, add the fi le extension “.aac”,
“.m4a”, or “.wav
*2 ” to the end of the fi le
name, and then write it to the memory.
