141 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.
AM
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 radio
station are very nearly the same frequency,
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 ten-
sion power lines, lightening, or electrical mo-
tors. This results in static.CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER, DVD PLAYER AND DISCS
Your compact disc player is intended for
use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player and DVD player
from working. On hot days, use the air
conditioning to cool the vehicle interior be-
fore you use the players.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your compact disc player and DVD
player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact disc
player and DVD player, you may not play
even though they appear to be working.
Remove the disc from the player and wait
until it dries.
CAUTION
Compact disc players and DVD players
use an invisible laser beam which could
cause hazardous radiation exposure if
directed outside the unit. Be sure to op-
erate the players correctly.

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 changer, or it may be impossi-
ble to eject the disc.
CorrectWrong
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 oth-
er 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 you
are not using them. Store them in their
plastic cases away from moisture, heat,
and direct sunlight.
To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a soft,
lint−free cloth that has been dampened with
water. Wipe in a straight line from the center
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.
