system are the 3.5 mm stereo jack type.
For detailed information, refer to the
Owner ’s Manual supplement for the

via the vehicle ’s speakers that are
connected to the vehicle audio set
may be very low. If you turn up the
volume of the audio set, the volume
becomes louder. However, when you
change from one portable audio player
to another one, the volume levels via
the vehicle ’s speakers may be signifi-
cantly louder compared to the prior device. To avoid a large volume differ-
ence, turn down the volume when you
change between portable audioplayers..
In some cases, when the sound
volume of the portable audio player is
low, the sound quality may become
impaired when you turn up the volume
of the vehicle audio system. In this
case, adjust the sound volume of the
portable audio player.. In some cases, noise occurs be-
cause of a bad connection between the
portable player and the vehicle audio
system. Try cleaning the stereo jack
and audio plug. . If the noise is not reduced, check for
disconnection of the cord or a malfunc-
tion of the portable player. Precautions to observe when
handling a compact disc
Use only compact discs (CDs, CD-Rs and
CD-RWs) that have the mark shown in the
following. Also, some compact discs
cannot be played.

.You cannot use a DualDisc in the CD
player. If you insert a DualDisc into the
player, the disc may not come out again,
possibly causing the player to malfunction. . In cold and/or rainy weather, dew can
form inside the CD player, preventing
normal operation. If this happens, eject
the CD and wait for the player to dry out. . Skipping may occur when the CD
player is subjected to severe vibration
(for example, when the vehicle is driven
on a rough surface). . To remove a disc from the case, press
the center of the case and hold both
edges of the disc. If the disc surface is
touched directly, contamination could
cause poor tone quality. Do not touch the
disc surface. . Use a clean disc whenever possible. If there are deposits, wipe the disc surface
from the center outward with a dry, soft
cloth. Be sure not to use a hard cloth,
thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. .
Do not use any disc that is scratched,
deformed, or cracked. Also, do not use
any disc that has a non-standard shape
(for example, a heart shape). Malfunctions
or problems might result. . A disc is vulnerable to heat. Never
keep it either in places exposed to direct
sunlight, near heaters or in vehicles
parked in the sun or on hot days. . Insert discs one by one into the CD
player (type B audio). Audio
