How car audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around your
city. They are intercepted by the radio anten-
na on your car. This signal is then received
by the radio and sent to your car 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 broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can fol-
low the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmos-
phere. In addition, they curve around
obstructions so that they can provide bet-
ter signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM
broadcasts generally begin to fade at
short distances from the station. Also,
FM signals are easily affected by build-
ings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening con-
ditions which might lead you to believe a
problem exists with your radio. The fol-
lowing conditions are normal and do not
indicate radio trouble:

 Fading - As your car moves away from
the radio station, the signal will weaken
and sound will begin to fade. When this
occurs, we suggest that you selectanother stronger station.
 Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears.  Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select anoth-er station with a stronger signal.
 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed signal from the same station, or by
signals from two stations with close
frequencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the condition haspassed. Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not meanthat something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possiblefrom the audio equipment.
JBM004JBM005CAUTION
When using a communication sys-
tem such a cellular phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, a separateexternal antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio setis used with an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehi-cle's electrical system and adverse-
ly affect safe operation of the vehi- cle.
WARNING
Don't use a cellular phone when
you are driving. You must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.

Care of disc (if equipped)
 If the temperature inside the car is toohigh, open the car windows for ventilation
before using your car audio.
 It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA/AAC/WAVE files without
permission. Use CDs that are created
only by lawful means.
 Do not apply volatile agents such as benzene and thinner, normal cleaners
and magnetic sprays made for ana-
logue disc onto CDs.
 To prevent the disc surface from get- ting damaged. Hold and carry CDs bythe edges or the edges of the center
hole only.
 Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe it fromthe center to the outside edge).
 Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or paperonto it.
 Make sure on undesirable matter other than CDs are inserted into the CD
player (Do not insert more than oneCD at a time).
 Keep CDs in their cases after use to protect them from scratches or dirt.  Depending on the type of CD-R/CD-
RW CDs, certain CDs may not operate
normally according to manufacturingcompanies or making and recording
methods. In such circumstances, if you
still continue to use those CDs, they
may cause the malfunction of your caraudio system.
✽✽ NOTICE - Playing an
Incompatible Copy-Protected
Audio CD
Some copy protected CDs, which do not comply with the international audio CDstandards (Red Book), may not play on
your car audio. Please note that if you
try to play copy protected CDs and the
CD player does not perform correctlythe CDs maybe defective, not the CD
player.

CAUTION - Using USBdevice
 To use an external USB device,make sure the device is not
mounted when starting up thevehicle and mount the deviceafter starting up.
 If you start the vehicle when the USB device is mounted, it maydamage the USB device. (USB isnot ESA)
 If the vehicle is started up or turned off while the external USB
device is connected, the externalUSB device may not work.
 It may not play inauthentic MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate between8Kbps~320Kbps.
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression ratebetween 8Kbps~320Kbps.
 Take cautions for static electricity when mounting or dismountingthe external USB device.
 An encoded MP3 PLAYER is not recognizable.
(Continued)
(Continued) Depending on the condition of the external USB device, the con-nected external USB device canbe unrecognizable.
 When the formatted byte/sector setting of External USB devices isnot either 512BYTE or 2048BYTE, then the device will not be recog-
nized.
 Use only a USB device formatted to FAT 12/16/32.
 USB devices without USB IF authentication may not be recog-
nizable.
 Make sure the USB connection terminal does not come in contactwith a human body or any object.
 If you repeat mounting or dis- mounting USB device in a short
period of time, it may break the device.
 You might hear a strange noise when mounting or dismounting a
USB device.
(Continued)(Continued) If you dismount the external USB device during playback in USBmode, the external USB device canbe damaged or malfunction.
Therefore, mount the external USBdevice when the engine is turnedoff or in another mode.
 Depending on the type and capac- ity of the external USB device orthe type of the files stored in thedevice, there is a difference in the time taken for recognition of the
device, but this is not an indicator of trouble and you only have towait.
 Do not use the USB device for other purposes than playing music files.
 Use of USB accessories such as recharger or heater using USB I/Fmay lower performance or cause trouble.
 If you use devices such as a USB hub you purchased separately,the vehicle’s audio system maynot recognize the USB device.
Connect the USB device directly to the multimedia terminal of thevehicle.
