DDVD video disc glossary
DVD video discs: Digital versatile Disc
that holds video. DVD video discs have
adopted “MPEG2”, one of the world stan-
dards of digital compression technologies.
The picture data is compressed by 1/40 on
average and stored. Variable rate en-
coded technology in which the volume of
data assigned to the picture is changed de-
pending on the picture format has also
been adopted. Audio data is stored using
PCM and Dolby digital, which enables
higher quality of sound. Furthermore, mul-
ti− angle and multi −language features will
also help you enjoy the more advanced
technology of DVD video.
Viewer restrictions: This feature limits
what can be viewed in conformity with a
level of restrictions of the country. The lev-
el of restrictions 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 region code as the DVD player, you
cannot play the disc on the DVD player.
For region codes, see page 258.

PCM, Dolby digital, DTS and MPEG audio
format DVD. Other decoded type cannot

NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video sys-

DBe careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.
DDo not put anything other than a
cassette tape or appropriate discs
into the cassette tape slot or CD
changer or DVD changer slot.
DThe use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the
audio/video system which you are
listening to. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
Radio reception
Usually, the problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with your
radio −it is just the normal result of condi-
tions 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:

AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM

FM
Fading and drifting stations— General-
ly, the effective range of FM is about 40 km
(25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which in-
crease with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often accompanied
by distortion.
Multi −path — FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this hap-
pens, the signals will cancel each other
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 flut-
tering.
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 inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference — When a reflected
signal 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 broad-
cast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static. CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE TAPE
PLAYER AND TAPES
For high performance from your cassette
tape player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regu-
larly.
DA dirty tape head or tape path can de-
crease sound quality and tangle your
cassette tapes. The easiest way to
clean them is by using a cleaning tape.
(A wet type is recommended.)
Use high −quality cassettes:
DLow− quality cassette tapes can cause
many problems, including poor sound,
inconsistent playing speed, and
constant auto −reversing. They can
also get stuck or tangled in the cassette
tape player.
DDo not use a cassette if it has been
damaged or tangled or if its label is
peeling off.
DDo not leave a cassette in the player if
you are not listening to it, especially if
it is hot outside.
DStore cassettes in their cases and out
of direct sunlight.
DAvoid using cassettes with a total play-
ing time longer than 100 minutes (50
minutes per side). The tape used in
these cassettes is thin and could get
stuck or tangled in the cassette tape
player.
