DVD video discs: Digital Versatile Disc
that holds video. DVD video discs have
adopted “MPEG2”, one of the world stan-
dards of digital compression technologies.
The picture data is compressed by 1/40
on average and stored. Variable rate en-
coded technology in which the volume of
data assigned to the picture is changed
depending on the picture format has also
been adopted. Audio data is stored using
PCM and Dolby digital, which enables
higher quality of sound. Furthermore, mul-
ti − angle and multi− language features will
also help you enjoy the more advanced
technology of DVD video.
Viewer restrictions: This feature limits
what can be viewed in conformity with
the level of restrictions of the country.
The level of restrictions varies depending
on the DVD video disc. Some DVD video
discs cannot be played at all, or violent
scenes are skipped or replaced with other
scenes.
Level 1: DVD video discs for children can
be played.
Level 2—7: DVD video discs for children
and G −rated movies can be played. Level 8: All types of DVD video discs can
be played.
Multi angle feature:
You can enjoy the
same scene at different angles.
Multi language feature: You can select
the language of the subtitles and audio.
Region codes: Region codes are pro-
vided on DVD players and DVD discs. If
the DVD video disc does not have the
same region code as the DVD player,
you cannot play the disc on the DVD
player. For region codes, see page 168.
Audio: This DVD player can play liner
PCM, Dolby digital and MPEG audio for-
mat DVD. Other decoded type cannot be
played.
Title and chapter: Video and audio pro-
grams stored on DVD video discs are
divided in parts by title and chapter.
Title: The largest unit of the video and
audio programs stored on DVD video
discs. Usually, one piece of a movie, one
album, or one audio program is assigned
as a title.
Chapter: A unit smaller than a title. A
title comprises plural chapters. Manufactured under license from Dolby

Do not put anything other than a
cassette tape or compact disc into
the slot.
Do not put anything other than a
magazine into the DVD player.
The use of cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the system
which you are listening to. Howev-
er, this does not indicate a mal-
function.
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 terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals
have a limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with your radio:
FM
Fading and drifting stations—Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 40 km
(25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which in-
crease with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often accompanied
by distortion.
Multi
−path—FM signals are reflective,
making 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 reception.

4Runner_Navi_U (L/O 0208)
1762003 MY 4Runner Navigation from Aug. ’02 Prod. (OM35799U)
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 weak-
ened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may
tune in the second station until the origi-
nal signal can be picked up again.
AM
Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere—especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causin g 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
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
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static. CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE
PLAYER AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cas-
sette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts reg-
ularly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can
decrease sound quality and tangle
your cassette tapes. The easiest way
to clean them is by using a cleaning
tape. (A wet type is recommended.)
Use high− quality cassettes.
Low−quality cassette tapes can cause
many problems, including poor sound,
inconsistent playing speed, and
constant auto −reversing. They can
also get stuck or tangled in the cas-
sette player.
Do not use a cassette if it has been
damaged or tangled or if its label is
peeling off.
Do not leave a cassette in the player
if you are not listening to it, especially
if it is hot outside.
Store cassettes in their cases and out
of direct sunlight.
Avoid using cassettes with a total
playing time longer than 100 minutes
(50 minutes per side). The tape used
in these cassettes is thin and could
get stuck or tangled in the cassette
player.
CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER, DVD PLAYER AND DISCS
Your compact disc player and DVD
player are 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 before 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, the play-
ers may not play even though they
appear to be working. Remove the
disc from the player and wait until it
dries.
