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.
• 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.
TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
70
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
SiriusXM® Satellite Radio.
● Alternation or modications carried out without
appropriate authorization may invalidate the user’s
right to operate the equipment.

CD PLAYER AND DISC
●Extremely high temperatures can keep the CD player
from working. On hot days, use the air conditioning
system to cool the inside of the vehicle before using
the player.
●Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make the CD
player skip.
●If moisture gets into the CD player, the discs may
not be able to be played. Remove the discs from the
player and wait until it dries.
WARNING
lCD players use an invisible laser beam which could cause
hazardous radiation exposure if directed outside the unit. Be
sure to operate the player correctly.

●Handle discs carefully, especially when inserting
them. Hold them on the edge and do not bend them.
Avoid getting ngerprints on them, particularly on the
shiny side.

●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
cannot display disc title, track title and artist name in
other formats.
● WMA/AAC les can contain a WMA/AAC tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags
carry information such as track title and artist name.
● This system can play back AAC les encoded by
iTunes.
● The sound quality of MP3/WMA les generally
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 recommended.
●The MP3/WMA player does not play back MP3/
WMA les from discs recorded using packet write
data transfer (UDF format). Discs should be recorded
using “pre-mastering” software rather than packet-
write software.
●m3u playlists are not compatible with the audio
device.
●MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO formats are not
compatible with the audio device.
● When playing back les recorded as VBR (Variable
Bit Rate) les, the play time will not be correctly
displayed if the fast forward or rewind operations are
used.
●It is not possible to check folders that do not include
AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA les.
TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM

● AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA les in folders up to 3 levels
deep can be played. However, the start of playback
may be delayed when using discs containing
numerous levels of folders. For this reason, we
recommend creating discs with no more than 2 levels
of folders.

003.mp3
Folder 2
004.mp3

●The play order of the compact disc with the structure
shown above is as follows:
001.mp3 002.wma . . .006.m4a
●The order changes depending on the personal
computer and AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA encoding
software you use.
