5Handling of compact discs
N00734100177

Use only the type of compact discs that have the mark
shown in the illustration below. (Playback of CD-R or
CD-RW discs may cause problems.)

The use of special shaped, damaged compact discs (like
cracked discs) or low-quality compact discs (like warped
discs or burrs on the discs) such as those shown will dam-
age the CD player.

In the following circumstances, moisture can form on
compact discs and inside the audio system, preventing
normal operation.
• When there is high humidity (for example, when it is
raining).
• When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right after
the heater is turned on in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to dry
out.

When the CD player is subjected to violent vibrations,
such as during off-road driving, the tracking may not
work.

When storing compact discs, always store them in their
separate cases. Never place compact discs in direct sun-
light, or in any place where the temperature or humidity is
high.

Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there isn’t a
label. This will damage the disc surface and could affect
the sound quality. When handling a compact disc, always
hold it by the outer edge and the center hole.
To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe directly
from the center hole toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in
a circle. Never use any chemicals such as benzine, paint
thinner, a disc spray cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.

Do not use a ball point pen, felt pen, pencil, etc. to write
on the label surface of the disc.

Do not put additional labels (A) or stickers (B) on com-
pact discs. Also, do not use any compact disc on which a
label or sticker has started to peel off or any compact disc
that has stickiness or other contamination left by a peeled-
off label or sticker. If you use such a compact disc, the CD
player may stop working properly and you may not be
able to eject the compact disc.
Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
N00751900095

You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them
inside a vehicle for extended periods may damage them
and make playback impossible.

The unit may not successfully play back a CD-R/RW that
was made by the combination of writing software, a CD
recorder (CD-R/RW drive) and a disc if they are incom-
patible with one another.

This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session
is not closed.

This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs which contain
other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.).

Be sure to observe the handling instructions for the CD-
R/RW disc.

General information about your radio
N00733900400
Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM and FM stations.
The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles,
and signal interference.
This radio complies with Part 15 of Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Opera-
tion is subject to the following conditions:

The device may not cause harmful interference.

This device must accept any interference recieved, includ-
ing interference that may cause undesirable operation.

Signal transmissionFM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they
reflected by the upper atmosphere. For this reason, FM broad-
casts cannot be received over long distances. AM signals fol-
low the earth’s surface and are reflected by the upper
atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be received
over longer distances.
Weak reception (fading)Because of the limited range of FM signals and the way FM
waves transmit, you may experience weak or fading FM recep-
tion. When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar
obstructions, reception can be disturbed.ReflectionThe reason why one can hear FM but not AM in parking
garages, under bridges etc., is that FM signals, unlike AM sig-
nals, are reflected by solid objects such as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals are easily reflected by buildings, this can
also cause reception disturbances.
The direct signal from the broadcast station reaches the antenna
slightly before the reflected signal. This time difference may
cause some reception disturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.

Cross modulationIf one listens to a weak station and is in the vicinity of another
strong station, both stations might be received simultaneously.FM stereo receptionStereo reception requires a high quality broadcast signal. This
means that types of disturbances mentioned previously become
more marked and the reception range is somewhat diminished
during stereo reception.
Causes of disturbancesFM reception is affected by the electrical systems of vehicles in
the vicinity, especially those without an electronic noise sup-
pression device. The disturbance is even greater if the station is
weak or poorly tuned.
FM reception is not as sensitive to electrical disturbances as
AM. AM reception is sensitive to electrical disturbances such
as power lines, lightning and other types of similar electrical
phenomena.
