2007 TOYOTA TUNDRA light

197 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.
XM
∗
Alternation or modifications carried out with-
out appropriate authorization may invalidate
the user’s right to operate the equipment.
∗: Use of satellite radio requires XM tuner
and service. Contact your Toyota dealer for
details.CARING FOR YOUR CD CHANGER, DVD
PLAYER AND DISCS
Your CD changer is intended for use with
12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your CD changer and DVD player from
working. On hot days, use the air condi-
tioning to cool the vehicle interior before
you use the changer and player.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your CD changer and DVD player
skip.
If moisture gets into your CD changer and
DVD player, you may not play even
though they appear to be working. Re-
move the disc from the changer and play-
er and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
CD changers and DVD player use an in-
visible laser beam which could cause
hazardous radiation exposure if di-
rected outside the unit. Be sure to oper-
ate the changers and players correctly.

NOTICE
Do not use special shaped, transpar-
ent/translucent, low quality or la-
beled discs such as those shown in
the illustrations. The use of such
discs may damage the player or
changer, or it may be impossible to
eject the disc.
This system is not designed for use
of Dual Disc. Do not use Dual Disc be-
cause it may cause damage to the
player or changer.

CorrectWrong
Handle discs carefully, especially when
you are inserting them. Hold them on the
edge and do not bend them. Avoid 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.

202 CDR and CDRW discs
CD−R/CD−RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a pro-
cess that allows discs to be played on a
conventional CD player) cannot be
played.
It may not be possible to play CD−R/CD−
RW discs recorded on a music CD record-
er or a personal computer because of disc
characteristics, scratches or dirt on the
disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the
lens of the unit.
It may not be possible to play discs re-
corded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the en-
vironment. Record with the correct
format. (For details, contact the appropri-
ate application manufacturers of the ap-
plications.)
CD−R/CD−RW discs may be damaged by
direct exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures or other storage conditions. The unit
may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
If you insert a CD−RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, playback will begin
more slowly than with a conventional CD
or CD−R disc.
Recordings on CD−R/CD−RW cannot be
played using the DDCD (Double Density
CD) system.TERMS
Packet write—
This is a general term that describes the pro-
cess of writing data on−demand to CD−R,
etc., in the same way that data is written to
floppy or hard discs.
ID3 Tag—
This is a method of embedding track−related
information in an MP3 file. This embedded in-
formation can include the track title, the art-
ist’s name, the album title, the music genre,
the year of production, comments and other
data. The contents can be freely edited using
software with ID3 tag editing functions. Al-
though the tags are restricted to the number
of characters, the information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
WMA Tag—
WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is used
in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA tags
carry information such as track title, artist
name.ISO 9660 format—
This is the international standard for the for-
matting of CD−ROM folders and files. For the
ISO 9660 format, there are two levels of regu-
lations.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (8 character file
names, with a 3 character file extension. File
names must be composed of one−byte capi-
tal letters and numbers. The “_” symbol may
also be included.)
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters
(including the separation mark “.” and file ex-
tension). Each folder must contain fewer than
8 hierarchies.

Check surroundings for safety.
If a bright light (for example, sunlight reflected
off the vehicle body) is picked up by the cam-
era, the smear effect
∗ peculiar to the camera
may occur.
∗: Smear effect—A phenomenon that occurs
when a bright light (for example, sunlight re-
flected off the vehicle body) is picked up by
the camera; when transmitted by the camera,
the light source appears to have a vertical
streak above and below it.
