DVD VIDEO DISC GLOSSARY
DVD video discs: Digital versatile Disc that
holds video. DVD video discs have adopted
“MPEG2”,
one of the world standards of digi-
tal 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 pic-
ture is changed depending on the picture for-
mat has also been adopted. Audio data is
stored using PCM and Dolby digital, which
enables higher quality of sound. Further-
more, multi−angle and multi −language fea-
tures will also help you enjoy the more ad-
vanced technology of DVD video.
Viewer restrictions: This feature limits what
can be viewed in conformity with a level of re-
strictions of the country. The level of restric-
tions 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 movie can be played.
Level 8: All types of the DVD video discs can
be played.
Multi angle feature: You can enjoy the
same scene at different angles. Multi language feature: You can select a
language of the subtitle and audio.
Region codes:
The region codes are pro-
vided on DVD players and DVD discs. If the
DVD video disc does not have the same re-
gion code as the DVD player, you cannot play
the disc on the DVD player. For region codes,
see page 143.
Audio: This DVD player can play liner PCM,
Dolby digital and MPEG audio format DVD.
Other decoded type cannot be played.

grams stored in DVD video disc are divided in

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.
Do not put anything other than an ap-
propriate disc into the DVD player.
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.

Station swapping — 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 — AM broadcasts are reflected by the
upper atmosphere — 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 — When a reflected sig-
nal 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 ten-
sion power lines, lightening, or electrical mo-
tors. This results in static. CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER, DVD PLAYER AND DISCS
Your compact disc player is 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 be-
fore 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, you may not play
even though they appear to be working.
Remove the disc from the player and wait
until it dries.
CAUTION
Compact disc players and DVD players

cause hazardous radiation exposure if
directed outside the unit. Be sure to op-
erate the players correctly.

NOTICE
Do not use special shaped, transparent/
translucent, low quality or labeled discs
such as those shown in the illustrations.
The use of such discs may damage the
player or changer, or it may be impossi-
ble to eject the disc.
Correct Wrong
Handle discs carefully, especially when
you are inserting them. Hold them on the
edge and do not bend them. A void getting
fingerprints on them, particularly on the
shiny side.
Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or oth-
er 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 you
are not using them. Store them in their
plastic cases away from moisture, heat,
and direct sunlight.
To clean a compact 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.
