1684-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
HIGHLANDER_HIGHLANDER HV_NAVI_(U)
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.

eos stored in an SD card, 
make certain to back up the 
data.
 Before an SD card that con-
tains any kind of data is 
played, slide the lock switch 
on the SD card to “LOCK” in 
order to prevent any data 
from being accidentally 
deleted or overwritten.
 Local storage
• Some BD videos have a feature 
to memorize disc information, 
such as a resume point, in a local 
storage. The rear seat entertain-
ment system uses an SD card as 
a local storage device. To use this 
function, insert an SD card into 
the SD card slot.
• The SD card memory function  may differ depending on the BD 
videos played.
• When an SD card that contains  any kind of data is inserted, BD 
video disc information will not be 
stored into the SD card to protect 
the existing data in the card. To 
use an SD card as a local stor-
age, use another SD card that 
does not contain any data.
