12. AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM OPERATING HINTS
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). 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 2 signals to reach the ve-
hicle’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 fluttering.
Station swapping: If the FM signal being
listened to is interrupted 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.
NOTICE
●To ensure correct audio/video system
operations:
• Be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio/video system.
• Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc slot.
• The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio/video
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
the radio — it is just the normal result
of conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and ter-
rain can interfere with FM reception.
Power lines or phone wires can inter-
fere with AM signals. And of course, ra-
dio signals have a limited range. The
farther the vehicle is from a station, the
weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception conditions change constantly
as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with the radio are described.

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 ra-
dio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening or electrical
motors. This results in static.

Handle discs carefully, especially when
inserting them. Hold them on the edge
and do not bend them. Avoid getting fin-
gerprints on them, particularly on the shiny
side.
Dirt, scratches, 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 not
in use. Store them in their plastic cases
away from moisture, heat and direct sun-
light.
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 cen-
ter to the edge of the disc (not in circles).
Dry it with another soft, lint-free cloth. Do
not use a conventional record cleaner or
anti-static device.

The play order of the compact disc with
the structure shown above is as follows:
MP3/WMA player: It is possible to play up
to 192 folders or 255 files on one disc.
USB memory: It is possible to play up to
3000 folders, 255 files per folder or 9999
files in the device.
The order changes depending on the per-
sonal computer and MP3/WMA encoding
software you use.
CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a pro-
cess that allows discs to be played on a
conventional CD player) cannot be
played.
It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-
RW discs recorded on a music CD
recorder or a personal computer because
of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the
lens of the unit.
It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the
environment. Record with the correct for-
mat. (For details, contact the appropriate
application manufacturers of the applica-
tions.)CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged by
direct exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures or other storage conditions. The unit
may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
If you insert a CD-RW disc into the MP3/
WMA player, playback will begin more
slowly than with a conventional CD or CD-
R disc.
Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be
played using the DDCD (Double Density
CD) system.
This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on-demand to CD-
R, etc., in the same way that data is writ-
ten to floppy or hard discs.
This is a method of embedding track-
related information in an MP3 file. This
embedded information can include the
track title, the artist’s name, the album
title, the music genre, the year of produc-
tion, comments and other data. The con-
tents can be freely edited using software
with ID3 tag editing functions. Although
the tags are restricted to a number of
characters, the information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
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.

This is the international standard for the
formatting of CD-ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are 2 lev-
els of regulations.
Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (8
character file names, with a 3 character
file extension. File names must be com-
posed of one-byte capital letters and num-
bers. The “_” symbol may also be
included.)
Level 2: The file name can have up to 31
characters (including the separation mark
“.” and file extension). Each folder must
contain fewer than 8 hierarchies.
Playlists created using “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3 is an audio compression standard
determined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to
about 1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by
Microsoft
®. It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files. The decod-
ing formats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and
9.
