AUDIO
288Station 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 dif ficult
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.
 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 CD player and CDs

Your CD player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) CDs
only.
 Extremely high temperature can keep your CD player from
working. On hot days, use air conditioning to cool the
vehicle interior before you listen to a CD.
 Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your CD player
skip.
 If moisture gets into your CD player, you may not hear any
sound even though your CD player appears to be working.
Eject all CDs from the player and wait until the player dries.
CAUTION
CD players use an invisible laser beam which could
cause hazardous radiation exposure if directed outside

passengers to enjoy the audio sound separately between
the front seats and the rear seats.

will be turned off simultaneously.
The rear passengers can enjoy all the modes (AM and FM

the rear seat audio system when a cassette tape and a CD are
loaded in the front audio system.
When the same mode is selected on the front and rear audio
systems at the same time, the system can be operated on the
front audio system.
If the radio mode is selected on the front and rear audio
systems at the same time, AM and FM modes cannot be
changed on the rear seat audio system.
