TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
OPERATING INFORMATION
CAUTION
lTo avoid damage to the audio system:
• Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio system.
• 8-inch with Navi system/8-inch system only: Do not put
anything other than an appropriate disc into the disc slot.
NOTE
lThe 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
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 terrain can interfere
with FM reception. Power lines or phone wires can interfere
with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited
range. The farther the vehicle is from a station, the weaker
its signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change
constantly as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception problems that probably do
not indicate a problem with the radio are described.

Do not put anything other than an appropriate disc into the
disc slot.
![](/img.php?id=3624850&img=bg9.png)
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 distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reective, 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 utter or loss of reception.
Static and uttering: These occur when signals are blocked
by buildings, trees or other large objects. Increasing the
bass level may reduce static and uttering.
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.
AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are reected by the upper
atmosphere — especially at night. These reected 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 reected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station are very nearly the
same frequency, they can interfere with each other, making
it difcult to hear the broadcast.
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.
SiriusXM®
●Cargo loaded on the roof luggage carrier, especially
metal objects, may adversely affect the reception of

●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.)
●Remove discs from the players 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 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.
CD-R/RW DISCS
●CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been subject to
the “nalizing process” (a process 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 depending on the application
settings and the environment. Record with the
correct format. (For details, contact the appropriate
application manufacturers of the applications.)
●CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged by direct
exposure to sunlight, high temperatures or other
storage conditions. 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 cannot be played using
the DDCD (Double Density CD) system.

●The player is compatible with VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
●MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA (Windows Media
Audio) and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) are audio
compression standards.
● This system can play AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA les
on CD-R, CD-RW discs, USB memory device, and
Bluetooth device.
●This system can play disc recordings compatible with
ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2 and with the Romeo and
Joliet le system.
● When naming an AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA le, add
an appropriate le extension (.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
● This system plays back les with .mp3/.wma/.m4a
le extensions as AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA les
respectively. To prevent noise and playback errors,
use the appropriate le extension.
● This system can play only the rst session when
using multi-session compatible CDs.
● MP3 les are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0,
Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats. This system
