5-10.Tips for operating the audio/visual system
The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the
audio/visual system which you are
listening to. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
Usually, a problem with radio
reception does not mean there
is a problem with the radio  it
is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings
and terrain can interfere with FM
reception. Power lines or phone
wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals. And of course, radio sig-
nals have a limited range. The
farther the vehicle is from a sta-
tion, the weaker i ts signal will
be. In addition, reception condi-
tions change constantly as the
vehicle moves.
Here are some common recep-
tion problems that may not indi-
cate a problem with the radio as
described.
■FM
Fading and drifting stations:
Generally, the effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40 km).
Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting,
which increase with the distance
from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by dis-
tortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are
reflective, making it possible for
2 signals to reach the vehicle’s
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 flut-
tering.
Station swapping: If the FM sig-
nal being listened to is inter-
rupted or weakened, and there
is another strong station nearby
on the FM band, the radio may
tune in the second station until
the original signal can be picked
up again.
■AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are
reflected by the upper atmo-
sphere  especially at night.
These reflected signals can
interfere with those received
directly from the radio station,
causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and
weak.

Audio
Station interference: 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 diffi-
cult to hear the broadcast.
Static: 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.
■SiriusXM
 Cargo loaded on the roof lug-
gage carrier, especially metal
objects, may adversely affect
the reception of SiriusXM Sat-
ellite Radio.
 Alternation or modifications
carried out without appropri-
ate authorization may invali-
date the user’s right to
operate the equipment.

COROLLA HV_U
and AAC (Advanced Audio
Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.
 This system can play
MP3/WMA/AAC files on USB
memory.
 MP4, WMV and AVI files can
use the following resolutions:
128x96, 160x120, 176x144
(QCIF), 320x240 (QVGA),
352x240 (SIF), 352x288
(CIF), 640x480 (VGA),
720x480 (NTSC), 720x576
(PAL)
 When naming an
MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an
appropriate file extension
(.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
 This system plays back files
with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file
extensions as
MP3/WMA/AAC files respec-
tively. To prevent noise and
playback errors, use the
appropriate file extension.
 MP3 files are compatible with
the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1,
Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats.
This system cannot display
disc title, track title and artist
name in other formats.
 WMA/AAC files can contain a
WMA/AAC tag that is used in
the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA/AAC tags carry infor-
mation such as track title and
artist name.
 The emphasis function is available only when playing
MP3 files.
 This system can play back
AAC files encoded by iTunes.
 The sound quality of
MP3/WMA files generally
improves with higher bit rates.
 m3u playlists are not compati-
ble with the audio player.
 MP3i (MP3 interactive) and
MP3PRO formats are not
compatible with the audio
player.
 The player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
 When playing back files
recorded as VBR (Variable Bit
Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if
the fast forward or reverse
operations are used.
 It is not possible to check fold-
ers that do not include
MP3/WMA/AAC files.
 MP3/WMA/AAC files in fold-
ers up to 8 levels deep can be
played. However, the start of
playback may be delayed
when using USB memory
containing numerous levels of
folders. For this reason, we
recommend creating USB
memory with no more than 2
levels of folders.

■ID3 tag
This is a method of embedding track-related information in an
MP3 file. This embedded infor-
mation can include the track
number, track title, the artist’s
name, the album title, the music
genre, the year of production,
comments, cover art and other
data. The contents can be freely
edited using software with ID3
tag editing functions. Although
the tags are restricted to a num-
ber of characters, the informa-
tion can be viewed when the
track is played back.
■WMA tag
WMA files can contain a WMA
tag that is used in the same way
as an ID3 tag. WMA tags carry
information such as track title
and artist name.
■MP3
MP3 is an audio compression
standard determined by a work-
ing group (MPEG) of the ISO
(International Standard Organi-
zation). MP3 compresses audio
data to about 1/10 the size of
that on conventional discs.
■WMA
 WMA (Windows Media Audio)
is an audio compression for-
mat developed by Microsoft
®.
It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files.
The decoding formats for
WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and 9.
