12. AUDIO 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
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by distor-
tion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for two signals to reach your
antenna at the same time. If this happens,
the signals will cancel each other out,
causing a momentary flutter or loss of re-
ception.
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 you
are listening to is interrupted or weakened,
and there is another strong station nearby
on the FM band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
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
signal and a signal received directly from a
radio station are very nearly the same fre-
quency, they can interfere with each other,
making it difficult 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 re sults in static.
NOTICE
●To avoid damaging the audio system:
• Be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio system.
• Do not put anything other than on appropriate discs into the CD player
slot.
INFORMATION
● The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise from
the speakers of the audio 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
your 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 telephone wires can in-
terfere with AM signals. And of course,
radio signals have a limited range, and
the farther you are from a station, the
weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception conditions change constantly
as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception
problems that probably do not indicate
a problem with your radio.

AM

Low quality discs
 Labeled discs
 Handle discs carefully, especially when
you are inserting them. Hold them on the
edge and do not bend them. Avoid getting
fingerprints on them, particularly on the
shiny side.
 Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or
other disc damage could cause the CD
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 CD player when
you are not using them. 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 that has been dampened with
water. Wipe in a straight line from the cen-
tre to the edge of the disc (not in a circle).
Do not use a conventional record cleaner
or anti-static device.
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 eject
the disc.
● This system is not designed for use of
Dual Disc. Do not use Dual Disc
because it may cause damage to the
player.

MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 levels
deep can be played. However, the start of
playback may be delayed when using
discs containing numerous levels of fold-
ers. For this reason, we recommend creat-
ing discs with no more than two levels of
folders.
 WMA files Ver. 9 depends on “Windows
Media
® Audio Standard”.
 The play order of the compact disc with
the structure shown on the left is as fol-
lows:
 MP3/WMA player: It is possible to play up
to 192 folders or 255 files on one disc.
 USB memory:
Maximum number of folder in device:
3000
Maximum number of files in one folder:
255
Maximum number of files in device: 9999
 The order changes depending on the PC
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 D DCD (Double Density
CD) system.

REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
On some models
If a bright light (for example, sunlight re-
flected off the vehicle body) is picked up by
the camera, the smear effect* peculiar to
the camera may occur.
*: Smear effect  A phenomenon that oc-
curs when a bright light (for example, sun-
light reflected off the vehicle body) is
picked up by the camera; when transmit-
ted by the camera, the light source ap-
pears to have a vertical streak above and
below it.INFORMATION
● The camera uses a special lens. The
distance of the image that appears on
the screen differs from the actual dis-
tance.
● In the following cases, it may become
difficult to see the images on the screen,
even when the system is functioning.
• In the dark (for example, at night)
• When the temperature near the lens
is high or low
• When water droplets are adhering to the camera, or when humidity is high
(for example, when it rains)
• When foreign matter (for example, snow or mud) is adhering to the cam-
era
• When the camera has scratches or dirt on it
• When the sun or the beam of head- lights is shining directly into the cam-
era lens
● When the camera is used under fluores-
cent lights, sodium lights, or mercury
lights etc., the lights and the illuminated
areas may appear to flicker.
