To ensure correct audio system op-
erations:
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 au-
dio 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—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, and 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 prob-
lem 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 increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by distor-
tion.
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 oth-
er out, causing a momentary flutter or
loss of reception.
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.

To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a
soft, lint−free cloth that has been damp-
ened 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. MP3/WMA FILES
MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3
and refers to an audio compression
technology standard.
WMA is short for Windows MediaTM
Audio. WMA is able to compress audio
data to about 1/2 the level of MP3.
The MP3/WMA player allows playback
of MP3/WMA files on CD
−ROM, CD −R
and CD −RW discs.
Disc recordings compatible with level 1
and level 2 of ISO 9660 and with the
Romeo and Joliet file system can be
played back.
When naming a MP3/WMA file, add the
corresponding filename extension
(.mp3/.wma).
The MP3/WMA player plays back files
with the file name extension
(.mp3/.wma) as an MP3/WMA file. To
prevent noise and malfunctions, do not
use this extension for files other than
MP3/WMA files.
It is possible to play back multi −ses-
sion compatible recorded discs.
When playing discs with MP3/WMA
files and audio data (CD −DA) such as
CD− EXTRA and MIXED− MODE CD,
CD− DA only can be played.
Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag
Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3
formats for display of album (disc title),
track (track title) and artist (track art-
ist).
Files are compatible with the WMA Tag
for display of album (disc title), track
(track title) and artist (track artist).
Only when MP3/WMA files of 32, 44.1
and 48 kHz frequencies are played
back, the emphasis function is valid.
(MP3 files: 16, 22.05, 24 kHz sampling
frequencies can be played back.)

The turn of play of the compact disc
having the structure shown on the left
is as follows:
001 002 . . . 011
The order changes depending on the
PC and MP3/WMA encoding software
you use. CDR and CDRW discs
CD−
R/CD− RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a
process that allows them to be played
back on a conventional CD player)
cannot be played back.
It may not be possible to play back
CD− R/CD− RW discs recorded on a mu-
sic CD recorder or a personal comput-
er because of disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt,
condensation, etc. on the lens of this
unit.
Playback of discs recorded on a per-
sonal computer may not be possible
depending on the application settings
and the environment. Record with the
correct format. (For details, contact the
manufacturer of the applications.)
Playback of CD −R/CD− RW discs may
become impossible in case of direct
exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures, or the storage conditions in the
vehicle.
Titles and other text information re-
corded on a CD −R/CD− RW disc may
not be displayed by the MP3/WMA
player (in the case of audio data (CD −
DA)).
The MP3/WMA player conforms to the
track skip function of the CD −R/CD−
RW disc.
If you insert a CD −RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, load time to play-
back will be longer than for a conven-
tional CD or CD −R disc.
Read the precautions accompanying
the CD −R/CD− RW discs before use.
Recordings on CD −R/CD− RW cannot
be played back using the DDCD
(Double Density CD) system.

TERMS
Packet write—
This is a general term for a method of
writing on CD−R, etc. at the time required
for a file, just as is done with files on
floppy or hard di scs.
Bit rate—
This expresses data volume per second,
or bps units (bits per second). The higher
the rate, the more information is available
to reproduce the sound. Using the same
encoding methods (such as MP3/WMA),
the higher the rate, the better the sound.
Multisession—
Multi −session is a recording method that
allows additional data to be recorded later.
When recording data on a CD −ROM,
CD− R or CD −RW, etc., all data from be-
ginning to end is treated as a single unit
or session. Multi −session is a method of
recording more than 2 sessions in one
disc.
CDDA—
CD− DA is an abbreviation of Compact
Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the uncom-
pressed format of regular CDs. ID3/WMA Tag—
This is a method of embedding track
−re-
lated information in a MP3/WMA file. This
embedded information can include the
track title, the artist’s name, the album
title, the music genre, the year of produc-
tion, comments and other data. The con-
tents can be freely edited using software
with ID3/WMA tag editing functions. Al-
though the tags are restricted to the num-
ber of characters, the information can be
viewed when the track is played back.
ISO 9660 format—
This is the international standard for the
format logic of CD −ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are regula-
tions for the following two levels.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (the name
consists of up to 8 characters, half −byte
English capital letters and half −byte nu-
merals and the “ −” sign, with a file exten-
sion of three characters.) Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 (MP3
files)/15 (WMA files) characters (including
the separation mark “.” and a file exten-
sion). Each folder contains less than 8
hierarchies.
Extended formats
Joliet:
File name can have up to 64 characters.
Romeo:
File names can have up to 128 charac-
ters.
m3u—
Playlists created using the “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3—
MP3 is short for MPEG 1 & 2 Audio Layer
3. It is an audio compression standard set
by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO
(International Standards Organization).
MP3 is able to compress audio data to
about 1/10 the level of a conventional
disc.

1552006 YARIS HATCHBACK from Aug. ’05 Prod. (OM52703U)
WMA—
WMA is short for Windows Media
TM Audio.
It is the audio file format developed by
Microsoft Corporation. WMA is able to
compress audio data to about 1/2 the lev-
el of MP3.
Windows Media
TM and Windows are reg-
istered trademarks of Microsoft Corpora-
tion in the United States and other coun-
tries.
