DVD (See page 130)
The switches for radio, cassette tape and
disc player operation are displayed on the
function switch display screen when the
audio control mode is selected. Touch
them lightly and directly on the screen.
The selected switch is highlighted in green or
yellow.
INFORMATION
If the system does not respond to a
touch of a switch, move your finger
away from the screen and then touch
it again.
You cannot operate dimmed
switches.
Wipe off fingerprints on the surface of
the display using a glass cleaning
cloth.
(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is
largely determined by the mix of the treble,
midrange, and bass levels. In fact, different
kinds of music and vocal programs usually
sound better with different mixes of treble,
mid−range, and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound lev-
els is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a ste-
reo recording or broadcast, changing the
right/left balance will increase the volume of
one group of sounds while decreasing the vol-
ume of another.

(b) Presetting a station
1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Touch one of the switches (1 — 6) you
want and hold it until a beep is heard. This
sets the station to the switch and the fre-
quency appears on the switch.
Each radio mode (AM, FM1 or FM2) can store
up to 6 stations. To change the preset station
to a different one, follow the same procedure.
The preset station memory is cancelled when
the power source is interrupted by battery dis-
connection or a blown fuse.(c) Selecting a station
Tune in the desired station using one of the
following methods.
Preset tuning: Touch the switch (1 — 6) for
the station you want. The switch is high-
lighted in green and the station frequency ap-
pears on the screen.
Seek tuning: Push the “SEEK·TRACK” but-
ton on either side. The radio will begin seek-
ing up or down for a station of the nearest fre-
quency and will stop on reception. Each time
you push the button, the stations will be
searched automatically one after another.
To scan all the frequencies: Touch the
“SCAN” switch on the screen or push the
“SCAN” button briefly. “SCAN” appears on
the screen. The radio will find the next station
and stay there for a few seconds, and then
scan again. To select a station, touch the
“SCAN” switch or push the “SCAN” button
again.
To scan the preset stations: Touch the
“SCAN” switch on the screen or push the
“SCAN” button for longer than approximately
a second. “P. SCAN” appears on the screen.
The radio will tune in the next preset station,
stay there for a few seconds, and then move
to the next preset station. To select a station,
touch the “SCAN” switch or push the “SCAN”
button again.(d) Radio Data System
Your audio system is equipped with Radio
Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode provides
you to receive text messages from radio sta-
tions that utilize RDS transmitters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
— only select stations of a particular program
type,
— display messages from radio stations,
— search for a stronger signal station.
RDS features are available for the use only on
FM stations which broadcast RDS informa-
tion.

147 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.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.

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, scratches, warping, pin holes, or oth-
er 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.
