2014 Hyundai Sonata Owner's Manual

FM broadcasts are transmitted at
high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the ear th's surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally
begin to fade within short distances
from the station. Also, FM signals are
easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains, and obstructions. This can lead
to undesirable or unpleasant listen-
ing conditions which might lead you
to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio
trouble:
•Fading - As your vehicle moves
away from the radio station, the
signal will weaken and sound will
begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another
stronger station.
•Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this
effect until the disturbance clears.
•Station Swapping - As an FM signal
weakens, another more powerful
signal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,
select another station with a
stronger signal.
•Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig-
nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from two
stations with close frequencies. If
this occurs, select another station
until the condition has passed.

Caring for disc
•If the temperature inside the car is too
high, open the car windows to venti-
late before using the system.
•It is illegal to copy and use
MP3/WMA 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 analogue disc onto CDs.
•To prevent the disc surface from
getting damaged, hold CDs by the
edges or the center hole only.
•Clean the disc surface with a piece
of soft cloth before playback (wipe
it from the center to the outside
edge).
•Do not damage the disc surface or
attach pieces of sticky tape or
paper.
•Make certain only CDs are insert-
ed into the CD player (Do not insert
more than one CD 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
the manufacturing companies. In
such circumstances, continued
use may cause malfunctions to
your audio system.

• Compatibility by Disc Type
1. Playing MIXED CDs: First plays
the audio CD, then plays the com-
pressed file(s).
2. Playing EXTRA CDs: First plays
the audio CD, then plays the com-
pressed file(s).
3. Playing multisession CDs: Plays in
order of sessions
-MIXED CD : CD type in which
both MP3 and audio CD files are
recognized in one disc.
-Multisession CD CD type that
includes more than two sessions.
Different from Extra CDs, multi-
session CDs are recorded by
sessions and have no media lim-
itation.
• Precautions upon Writing CDs
1. In all cases except when creating
multisession discs, check the
close session option before creat-
ing the disc. Though product mal-
functions will not occur, some time
may be required for the device to
check whether the session state is
closed (approximately 25 sec-
onds). (Additional time may also
be required depending on the
number of folders or files.)
2. Changing the MP3/WMA file
extensions or changing files of
other extensions to MP3/WMA
may result in product malfunction.
3. When naming files with
MP3/WMA file extensions, write
using only Korean and English.
(Languages other than Korean
and English are not supported and
are displayed as blank.)
4. Unauthorized use or duplication of
music files are prohibited by law.
5. Prolonged use of CD-R/CD-RW
discs that do not satisfy related
standards and/or specifications
could result in product malfunc-
tion.
6. Unauthorized use or duplication of
MP3/WMA files is prohibited by
law.

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 system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possible.
When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adversely
affect safe operation of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Order of playing files (folders) :
1. Song playing order : to
sequentially.
2. F o l d e r p l ay i n g o rd e r :
❋If no song file is contained in the
folder, that folder is not displayed.
NOTICE
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.
