145 DVD VIDEO DISC GLOSSARY
DVD video discs: Digital versatile Disc that
holds video. DVD video discs have adopted
“MPEG2”, one of the world standards of digi-
tal compression technologies. The picture
data is compressed by 1/40 on average and
stored. Variable rate encoded technology in
which the volume of data assigned to the pic-
ture is changed depending on the picture for-
mat has also been adopted. Audio data is
stored using PCM and Dolby digital, which
enables higher quality of sound. Further-
more, multi−angle and multi−language fea-
tures will also help you enjoy the more ad-
vanced technology of DVD video.
Viewer restrictions: This feature limits what
can be viewed in conformity with a level of re-
strictions of the country. The level of restric-
tions varies depending on the DVD video

played at all, or violent scenes are skipped or
replaced with other scenes.

played.

gion code as the DVD player, you cannot play

see page 144.

Car audio system operating
hints
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system opera-
tion:
Be careful not to spill beverages over
the system.
Do not put anything other than a cas-
sette tape or compact disc into the
slot.
Do not put anything other than an ap-
propriate disc 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 sig-
nals. And of course, radio signals have a lim-
ited range. The farther you are from a station,
the weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception 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
effective range of FM is about 40 km (25
miles). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi−path — FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for two signals to reach your an-
tenna 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 sig-
nals 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.
AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected by the
upper atmosphere—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.
Station interference — When a reflected sig-
nal 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 broadcast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high ten-
sion power lines, lightening, or electrical mo-
tors. This results in static.

147 CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cassette
player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can de-
crease sound quality and tangle your cas-
sette 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, in-
consistent playing speed, and constant
auto−reversing. They can also get stuck
or tangled in the cassette player.
Do not use a cassette if it has been dam-
aged 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 playing
time longer than 100 minutes (50 minutes
per side). The tape used in these cas-
settes is thin and could get stuck or
tangled in the cassette player.CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER, DVD PLAYER AND DISCS
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player and DVD player
from working. On hot days, use the air
conditioning to cool the vehicle interior be-
fore you use the players.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your compact disc player and DVD
player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact disc
player and DVD player, the players may
not play even though they appear to be
working. Remove the disc from the player
and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
Compact disc players and DVD players
use an invisible laser beam which could
cause hazardous radiation exposure if
directed outside the unit. Be sure to op-
erate the players correctly.

CorrectWrong
Handle discs carefully, especially when
you are inserting them. Hold them on the
edge and do not bend them. Avoid getting
fingerprints on them, particularly on the
shiny side.
Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or other
disc damage could cause the player to
skip or to repeat a section of a track. (To
see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the
light.)
Remove discs from the players when you
are not using them. Store them in their
plastic cases away from moisture, heat,
and direct sunlight.
To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint−free
cloth that has been dampened with water.
Wipe in a straight line from the center to the
edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry it with
another soft, lint−free cloth. Do not use a con-
ventional record cleaner or anti−static device.
