4-6.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, some common reception 
problems that probably do not 
indicate a problem with the radio 
are 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.

●To avoid damage to the 
audio/visual system:

over the audio/visual system.

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.
WA R N I N G
●SD cards
• Keep away from children. These are small and if swal-
lowed by a child they can cause 
choking.
NOTICE
●Failure to follow the precautions 
below may result in damage to 
the SD cards or the SD card 
slot.
• Do not insert anything other  than an SD card into the SD 
card slot.
• Do not stick levels or stickers on  SD card. There i s a possibility 
that it may become impossible 
to eject the SD ca rd from inside 
the slot.
• Do not handle an SD card with  wet hands. Doing so may cause 
electric shock or a malfunction.
• Do not allow hands or metal  objects to contact the interface 
pins of SD cards.
• Do not place SD cards on the  instrument panel, on any place 
with direct sunlight or in areas 
with a lot of moisture.
• Do not use SD  cards in any 
place where static electricity or 
electric noise adversely affects 
SD cards. This may cause data 
corruption or data loss.
• Always place the SD card in its  storage case when not in use.
