1. AUDIO SYSTEM OPERATION
11. 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 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 two 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 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.
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.
Cargo  loaded  on  the  roof  luggage  carrier,
especially  metal  objects,  may  adversely
affect the reception of XM Satellite Radio.
 Alternation  or  modifications  carried  out
without  appropriate  authorization  may
invalidate  the  user’s  right  to  operate  the
equipment.
NOTICE
●To avoid damage to the audio system:
• Be  careful  not  to  spill  beverages  over
the audio system.
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
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.

might be incompatible  with this system.
USB  memory  that  can  be  used  for  MP3
and WMA playback:
• USB  communication  formats:  USB  2.0
HS (480 Mbps) and FS (12 Mbps)
• File formats: FAT 16/32
• Correspondence  class:  Mass  storage class
 MP3  (MPEG  Audio  Layer  3)  and  WMA
(Windows  Media  Audio)  are  audio  com-
pression standards.
 When  naming  an  MP3  or  WMA  file,  add
the  appropriate  file  extension  (.mp3  or
.wma). 
 The  USB  memory  plays  back  files  with
.mp3  or  .wma  file  extensions  as  MP3  or
WMA files. To prevent noise and playback
errors, use the appropriate file extensions.
 USB  memory:  MP3  files  are  compatible
with  the  ID3  Tag  Ver.  1.0,  Ver.  1.1,  Ver.
2.2, Ver. 2.3 and Ver. 2.4 formats. The unit
cannot  display  track  title  and  artist  name
in other formats.
 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.
 The  emphasis  function  is  available  only
when  playing  MP3/WMA  files  recorded  at
32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.

MP3 files for USB memory:
MPEG  1  AUDIO  LAYER  2,  3  —  32,  44.1,
48 kHz 
MPEG 2 AUDIO LAYER 2, 3 — 16, 22.05,

WMA files for USB memory:
Ver.  7,  8,  9  (9.1/9.2)  CBR  —  32,  44.1,  48
kHz
 The sound quality of MP3/WMA files gen-
erally  improves  with  higher  bit  rates.  In
order  to  achieve  a  reasonable  level  of
sound  quality,  discs  recorded  with  a  bit
rate  of  at  least  128  kbps  are  recom-
mended.
 MP3 files for USB memory:
MPEG  1  AUDIO  LAYER  3  —  32  to  320
kbps 
MPEG  2  AUDIO  LAYER  3  —  8  to  160
kbps
WMA files for USB memory:
Ver.  9  (9.1/9.2)  CBR  —  48  to  320  kbps
(VBR*) 
*: Variable Bit Rate
 M3u  playlists  are  not  compatible  with  the
audio player.
 MP3i  (MP3  interactive)  and  MP3PRO  for-
mats  are  not  compatible  with  the  audio
player.
 The  player  is  compatible  with  VBR  (Vari-
able Bit Rate).
 When playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable  Bit  Rate)  files,  the  play  time  will
not  be  correctly  displayed  if  the  fastfor-
ward or reverse operations are used.
 It  is  not  possible  to  check  folders  that  do
not include MP3/WMA files.
 MP3/WMA  files  in  folders  up  to  8  levels
deep can be played. However, the start of
playback  may  be  delayed  when  using
USB  memory  containing  numerous  levels
of folders. For this reason, we recommend
creating  USB  memory  with  no  more  than
two levels of folders. 
The  play  order  of  the  USB  memory  with
the structure shown above is as follows:
 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.

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.
 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 (9.1/9.2).
