(b) DVD video disc glossary
DVD video discs: Digital Versatile Disc that holds video. DVD
video discs have adopted MPEG2º, one of the world
standards of digital compression technologies. The picture
data is compressed by 1/40 on average and stored. Variable
rate encoded 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,
multi-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 Ð 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 provided 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 340.

NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video system operation:
Be careful not to spill beverages over the system.
Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or
Compact Disc into the slot.
Do not put anything other than a DVD video, DVD
audio, video CD, dts-CD and audio CD into the DVD
player.
The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehicle
may cause a noise from the speakers of the 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 your radio Ð 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 problems that probably do
not indicate a problem with your radio:
FMFading and drifting stations Ð Generally, the effective range
of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). 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 Ð 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.
Static and fluttering Ð These occur when signals are
blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing
the bass level may reduce static and fluttering.

AUDIO
349 Station swapping Ð 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 Ð AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper
atmosphere Ð 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 Ð 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 Ð AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical
motors. This results in static.
Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For the best performance for your cassette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
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 cassette player.
Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or tangled or
if its label is peeling off.
