893-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system

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.

use with 12 cm discs only.
 Extremely high temperatures 
can keep the CD player from 
working. On hot days, use the

tions may make the CD player

 MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), 
WMA (Windows Media Audio)  and AAC (Advanced Audio 
Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.
 This system can play 
MP3/WMA/AAC files on USB

(PAL)
 When naming an 
MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an 
appropriate file extension 
(.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
 This system plays back files 
with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file 
extensions as

tively. To prevent noise and 
playback errors, use the 
appropriate file extension.
