The DVD player can play DVD video
discs.
For appropriate discs for this player, see
“Audio/video system operating hints” on
page 171.
For safety reasons, you can enjoy DVD
video discs only when the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped with the engine switch is in
“ACC” or “IG−ON” mode and the parking
brake applied. While you are driving, you
can hear audio alone even in the DVD vid-
eo. (a) Operating a DVD disc
NOTE:
The playback condition of some
DVD discs may be determined by a DVD
software producer. This DVD player plays
a disc as the software producer intended.
So some functions may not work properly.
Be sure to read the instruction manual for
the DVD disc separately provided. For the
detailed information about DVD video
discs, see “(c) DVD player and DVD video
disc information” on page 159.
DPrecautions on DVD video disc
When recording with a DVD video, audio
tracks may not record in some cases while
the menu is displayed. As audio will not
play in this case, verify that the video
tracks are playing and then activate play-
back.
When playback of a disc is completed:
DIf a DVD video is playing, playback will
stop or the menu screen will be dis-
played.
The title/chapter number and playback
time display may not appear while playing
back certain DVD video discs.
CAUTION
Conversational speech on some
DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound ef-
fects. If you adjust the volume as-
suming that the conversations repre-
sent the maximum volume level that
the DVD will play, you may be startled
by louder sound effects or when you
change to a different audio source.
The louder sounds may have a signif-
icant impact on the human body or
pose a driving hazard. Keep this in
mind when you adjust the volume.

NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video sys-
tem operations:
DBe careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.
DDo not put anything other than on
appropriate discs into the CD play-
er or DVD player 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: 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.
