3-6.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 are some common recep-
tion problems that may not indi-
cate a problem with the radio as
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:
• Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/visual system.
Radio

903-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
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.
 This CD player is intended for
use with 12 cm discs only.
 Extremely high temperatures
can keep the CD player from
working. On hot days, use the
air conditioning system to cool
the inside of the vehicle
before using the player.
 Bumpy roads or other vibra-
tions may make the CD player
skip.
 If moisture gets into the CD player, the discs may not be
able to be played. Remove
the discs from the player and
wait until it dries.
*: Audio Plus only
■CD player

Audio/visual system
Special shaped discs
Transparent/translucent discs
Low quality discs
Labeled discs
Handle discs carefully, espe-
cially when inserting them.
Hold them on the edge and do
not bend them. Avoid getting
fingerprints on them, particu-
larly 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.)
NOTICE
●Do not use special shaped,
transparent/translucent, low
quality or labeled discs such as
those shown in the illustrations.
The use of such discs may
damage the player, or it may be
impossible to e ject the disc.
●This system is not designed for
use of Dual Discs. Do not use
Dual Discs because they may
cause damage to the player.
●Do not use discs with a protec-
tion ring. The use of such discs
may damage the player, or it
may be impossible to eject the
disc.
●Do not use print able discs. The
use of such discs may damage
the player, or it may be impossi-
ble to eject the disc.

923-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
Remove discs from the play-
ers when not in use. 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 tha t has been damp-
ened with water. Wi pe in a straight
line from the cente r 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.
■CD-R/RW discs
 CD-R/CD-RW discs that have
not been subject to the “final-
izing process” (a process that
allows discs to be played on a
conventional CD player) can-
not 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 depending on the application settings and the
environment. Record with the
correct format. (For details,
contact the appropriate appli-
cation manufacturers of the
applications.)
 CD-R/CD-RW discs may be
damaged by direct exposure
to sunlight, high tempera-
tures or other storage condi-
tions. The unit may be unable
to play some damaged discs.
 If you insert a CD-RW disc
into the player, playback will
begin more slowly than with a
conventional CD or CD-R
disc.
 Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW
discs using the DDCD (Dou-
ble Density CD) system can-
not be played.
