— Radio operation
(a) Listening to the radio
Push these buttons to choose either an
AM or FM station.
“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the screen.
If your vehicle is equipped with satellite ra-
dio broadcast system, when you push the
“AM·SAT” button, “AM”, “SAT1”, “SAT2” or
“SAT3” station appears on the display. For
details about satellite radio broadcast, see
“— Radio operation (XM satellite radio broad-
cast)” on page 119.
Turn the knob clockwise to step up the sta-
tion band or counterclockwise to step
down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo
reception when a stereo broadcast is re-
ceived. “ST” appears on the screen. If the
signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the
amount of channel separation to prevent the
weak signal from creating noise. If the signal
becomes extremely weak, the radio switches
from stereo to mono reception. In this case,
“ST” disappears from the screen.
(b) Presetting a station
1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Touch one of the switches (1 — 6) you
want and hold it until a beep is heard. This
sets the station to the switch and the fre-
quency appears on the switch.
Each radio mode (AM, FM1 or FM2) can store
up to 6 stations. To change the preset station
to a different one, follow the same procedure.
The preset station memory is cancelled when
the power source is interrupted by battery dis-
connection or a blown fuse.

(g) If the player malfunctions
If “CD ERROR” appears on the screen, audio
signals of the disc cannot be read or the sys-
tem has trouble. Push the “DISC” button once
again.
If the player does not operate, check that the
disc surface is not soiled or damaged. If the
disc is O.K., the temperature of the player’s
internal mechanism may be raised because
of high external temperature. Remove the
disc from the player to cool it.
If the player still does not operate, have it
checked by your dealer.Audio system operating hints
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system opera-
tions:
Be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio system.
Do not put anything other than a
Compact Disc into the slot.
The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio sys-
tem which you are listening to. How-
ever, 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 sig-
nals. And of course, radio signals have a lim-
ited range. The farther you are from a station,
the weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception conditions change constantly as your
vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception problems
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 no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi−path — FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for two signals to reach your an-
tenna 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 — These occur when sig-
nals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other
large objects. Increasing the bass level may
reduce static and fluttering.
