D300600AHM-EEAux, USB and iPod port
(if equipped)If your vehicle has an aux and/or USB
(universal serial bus) port or iPod port,
you can use an aux port to connect audio
devices and an USB port to plug in an
USB and also an iPod port to plug in an
iPod.✽ ✽NOTICEWhen using a portable audio device
connected to the power outlet, noise may
occur during playback. If this happens,
use the power source of the portable
audio device.
D300800AHMHow vehicle audio worksAM(MW, LW) and FM radio signals are
broadcast from transmitter towers locat-
ed around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehicle.
This signal is then received by the radio
and sent to your vehicle speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area. AM(MW, LW) broadcasts can be
received at greater distances than FM
broadcasts. This is because AM(MW,
LW) radio waves are transmitted at low
frequencies. These long, low frequency
radio waves can follow the curvature of
the earth rather than travelling straight
out into the atmosphere. In addition, they
curve around obstructions so that they
can provide better signal coverage.
