AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM
IS300h/250_Navi_EE
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.

6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
IS300h/250_Navi_EE
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.
