Troubleshooting Poor Radio
Reception
Problem:
Fading Signals / Interference /
Increased interference/ Static
FM Broadcasts - The further you move
away from the radio station's transmitting
source (normally within a city or town),
the weaker the signal will be. You might
experience abrupt breaks in transmis-
sion, garbled sound and also static even
though your radio remains tuned to the
same frequency.
AM Broadcasts - Even though AM radio
signals travel further and stronger than
FM radio signals, weather or terrain con-
ditions might adversely affect your radio's
ability to receive the signals.
Solution:
Use your audio system's Scan function to
automatically search for and select
another radio station with good signal
strength.Problem:
High-pitched static, distortion or a
'fluttering' sound (Multi-Path
Cancellation)
Radio stations transmitting on frequen-
cies that are very close to each other
may cause distortion or 'fluttering'. This
effect is known as Multi-Path
Cancellation. This normally occurs when
your tuner is receiving a station's trans-
mission as both direct and 'reflected'
radio signals or when your tuner receives
signals from more than 1 radio station
transmitting on frequencies that are very
close to each other.
Solution:
If the problem is caused by a temporary
deterioration in the signal strength of one
station's transmission, reduce the levels
of your audio system's Treble and Middle
settings to suppress the sound. If the
problem is caused by interference from
another station, select another radio sta-
tion with good and clear signal strength.Problem:
Interference from another FM radio
broadcast ('station-swapping')
FM radio stations transmit on frequen-
cies that are very close to each other on
the FM band. When you travel further
and further away from a transmitting
source, the signal strength of that trans-
mission decreases. Your radio's ability to
'lock' on to that specific frequency is
affected. This is because your radio is
designed to lock on to the strongest sig-
nal it can detect. Therefore, another radio
station broadcasting on a frequency very
close to your original station could 'inter-
fere' with your reception and you might
start to hear the broadcast of the second
station. You will normally experience this
when you are moving away from a weak
signal and towards a stronger one.

Solution:
Use your audio system's Scan function to
automatically search for and select
another radio station with good signal
strength.
Problem:
Interference caused by cellular
phones and 2-way radios
Operating cellular phones and 2-way
radios inside or within close proximity of
your car may interfere with your radio
reception. You may hear static, clicks,
sounds or other types of white noise from
your speakers.
Solution:
Cease operation of cellular phone or 2-
way radios. Alternatively, move away
from your car. The interference to your
radio reception should be reduced.Caring for your Audio System
Your audio system contains sophisticat-
ed electronics and precision-engineered
parts and components that are not user-
serviceable. To ensure trouble-free oper-
ation, please observe the following pre-
cautions:
1. General Use and Operation
Your audio system contains precision
electronic components that are tempera-
ture-, moisture-, and static-sensitive. You
should take care not to subject your
audio system to extremes in tempera-
tures or moisture. For example, if you
have parked your car in the sun, the inte-
rior of the car could be very hot. Ventilate
the car to reduce the interior temperature
before trying to operate the audio sys-
tem.
Never try to insert anything other than
properly formatted CDs into the CD play-
er. Foreign objects can cause the deli-
cate mechanism to jam and render your
CD player unusable. You must also follow
the instructions displayed on your audio
system's LCD screen.
For example, if your audio system is dis-
playing "Wait", you should never try to
force-load a CD into the CD player.
WARNING
• Your car's electrical systems con-
tain sensitive electronics compo-
nents. Interference from cellular
phones, 2-way radios and other
transmitting devices could
adversely affect the safe opera-
tion of your vehicle. This could
compromise the safety of both
the driver and other passengers
in the vehicle.
• When using cellular phones,2-
way radios and other transmitting
devices in your vehicle, always
use a separate external antenna.
For restrictions on the use of
communications and transmitting
devices, please consult the rele-
vant product documentation.
• Local laws may prohibit the use
of cellular phones while driving. If
you need to make or answer a call
while driving, please s
top the
vehicle in a safe place before pro-
ceeding.

2. Your audio system's CD player
Your audio system includes a CD player
that allows you to play audio CDs, MP3
and WMA CDs. To ensure trouble-free
operation, please observe the following
precautions:
• Caring for your CDs (Audio, MP3
and WMA discs)
- Always hold and carry a CD by its
edges to prevent scratching the disc.
Fingerprints or dirt on the disc sur-
face may cause skips or other errors
during playback
- If your CDs become dirty, clean it with
a mild detergent and water and wipe
it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Never clean your CDs using corrosive
or volatile cleaning agents such as
benzene, thinner or cleaning sprays
meant for vinyl records.• CD formats
Whether or not a CD can be played in
your CD player depends on how the
information on the CD has been
encoded. Some CDs may be incom-
patible with your CD player and cannot
be played back. For example, some
types of copy-protected audio CDs
which do not comply with the industry-
standard Red Book format may not be
played back. This does not indicate a
fault with your CD player. Please verify
that the encoding on your CD is com-
patible with your CD player. Consult the
CD's documentation for more details.CAUTION
• The creation and use of MP3
music files are governed by copy-
right legislation that may be spe-
cific to the country/district you
reside in.
• Specific copyrights attached to
works may also govern their pos-
session and use. Please observe
all applicable copyright laws in
the operation and use of your
audio system’s CD player.
