Fading and drifting stations: Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 25
miles (40 km). Once outside this range,
you may notice fading and drifting,
which increase with the distance from
the radio transmitter. They are often ac-
companied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for 2 signals to reach
the vehicle’s antenna 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
signals are blocked by buildings, trees
or other large objects. Increasing the
bass level may reduce static and flutter-
ing.
Station swapping: If the FM signal be-
ing listened to is interrupted or weak-
ened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, the radio may
tune in the second station until the orig-
inal signal can be picked up again.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 sta-
tion 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 broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening or elec-
trical motors. This results in static.

Handle discs carefully, especially when
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
other 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
not in use. Store them in their plastic
cases away from moisture, heat and
direct sunlight.
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
centre to the edge of the disc (not in cir-
cles). Dry it with another soft, lint-free
cloth. Do not use a conventional record
cleaner or anti-static device.
CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a
process 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
recorder 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
recorded on a personal computer
depending on the application settings
and the environment. Record with the
correct format. (For details, contact the
appropriate application manufacturers
of the applications.)
CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high
temperatures or other storage condi-
tions. The unit may be unable to play
some damaged discs.
If you insert a CD-RW disc into the
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.

DVD video discs: Digital Versatile Disc
that holds video. DVD video discs have
adopted “MPEG2”, one of the world
standards of digital compression tech-
nologies. The picture data is com-
pressed by 1/40 on average and stored.
Variable rate encoded technology in
which the volume of data assigned to the
picture is changed depending on the pic-
ture format has also been adopted. Au-
dio data is stored using PCM and Dolby
Digital, which enables higher quality of
sound. Furthermore, multi-angle and
multi-language features will also help
users enjoy the more advanced technol-
ogy of DVD video.
Viewer restrictions: This feature limits
what can be viewed in conformity with
a level of restrictions of the country. The
level 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 oth-
er scenes.
• Level 1: DVD video discs for children
can be played.
• Level 2 - 7: DVD video discs for chil-
dren and G-rated movie can be
played.
• Level 8: All types of the DVD video
discs can be played.
Multi-angle feature: The same scene
can be enjoyed from different angles.
Multi-language feature: The subtitle and
audio language can be selected.
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: (P.261)
Audio: This DVD player can play liner
PCM, Dolby Digital and MPEG audio
format DVDs. Other decoded types can-
not be played.
Title and chapter: Video and audio pro-
grams stored in DVD video discs are di-
vided into parts by title and chapter.
Title: The largest unit of the video and
audio programs stored on DVD video
discs. Usually, one movie, one album,
or one audio program is assigned as a ti-
tle.
Chapter: A unit smaller than that of title.
A title comprises of several chapters.DVD VIDEO DISC
