Audio/video system operating
hints
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video system
operations:
Be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio system.
Do not put anything other than a com-
pact 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.
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.

Correct Wrong
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.
Z17053
To clean a 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 con-
ventional record cleaner or anti−static device.MP3/WMA FILES
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) are audio com-
pression standards.
The MP3/WMA player can play MP3 and
WMA files on CD−ROM, CD−R and CD−
RW discs.
The unit can play disc recordings compat-
ible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2 and
with the Romeo and Joliet file system.
When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add
the appropriate file extension (.mp3 or
.wma).
The MP3/WMA player plays back files
with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as MP3
or WMA files. To prevent noise and play-
back errors, use the appropriate file ex-
tensions.
The player can play only the first session
using multi−session compatible CDs.
MP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag
Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2, and Ver. 2.3 for-
mats. The unit cannot display disc title,
track title and artist name in other formats.
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.

The play order of the compact disc with
the structure shown above is as follows:
MP3 player (rear seat entertainment system)
001.mp3 002.mp3 . . . 006.mp3
MP3/WMA player (front audio system)
001.mp3 002.wma . . . 006.mp3
MP3 player (rear seat entertainment sys-
tem)—It is possible to play up to 253 fold-
ers on one disc.
MP3/WMA player (front audio system)—It
is possible to play up to 192 folders or 255
files on one disc.
The order changes depending on the PC
and MP3/WMA encoding software you
use.CD R and CD RW 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.

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.
