AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM
12. AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM OPERATING HINTS
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter.
They are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for 2 signals to reach the vehi-
cle’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 sig-
nals are blocked by buildings, trees or other
large objects. Increasing the bass level may
reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping: If th e FM signal being lis-
tened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the sec-
ond station until the original signal can be
picked up again.
NOTICE●To ensure correct audio/video system
operations:
• Be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio/video system.
• Do not put anything other than an appropriate disc into the disc slot.
• The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio/video
system which you are listening to.
However, this does not indicate a mal-
function.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
the radio — it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and ter-
rain can interfere with FM reception.
Power lines or phone wires can interfere
with AM signals. And of course, radio
signals have a limited range. The farther
the vehicle is from a station, the weaker
its signal will be. In addition, reception
conditions change constantly as the ve-
hicle moves.
Here, some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with the radio are described.

ES350/300h_Navi_OM33A66U_(U)13.07.11 10:10
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by the
upper atmosphere — especially at night.
These reflected signals can interfere with
those received directly from the radio sta-
tion, causing the radio station to sound al-
ternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a ra-
dio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each oth-
er, making it difficult to hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high ten-
sion power lines, ligh tening or electrical
motors. This results in static.

zHandle discs carefully, especially when
inserting them. Hold them on the edge and
do not bend them. Avoid getting finger-
prints on them, partic ularly on the shiny
side.
z 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.)
z Remove discs from the players when not in
use. Store them in their plastic cases away
from moisture, heat and direct sunlight.
To c l e a n a d i s c : Wipe it with a soft, lint-free
cloth that has been dampened with water.
Wipe in a straight line from the center to the
edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry it with
another soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use a
conventional record cleaner or anti-static
device.
z MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) are audio com-
pression standards.
z The MP3/WMA player can play MP3 and
WMA files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-
RW discs.
z The unit can play disc recordings compati-
ble with ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2 and
with the Romeo and Joliet file system.
z When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add
the appropriate file extension (.mp3 or
.w m a ) .
z The MP3/WMA player plays back files
with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as MP3
or WMA files. To prevent noise and play-
back errors, use the appropriate file exten-
sions.
z The MP3/WMA player can play only the
first session when using multi-session com-
patible CDs.

z WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags carry information such as track title
and artist name.
z The emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at
32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.

zIt is not possible to ch eck folders that do not
include MP3/WMA files.
z MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 levels
deep can be played. However, the start of
playback may be delayed when using discs
containing numerous levels of folders. For
this reason, we recommend creating discs
with no more than 2 levels of folders.
z The play order of the compact disc with the
structure shown above is as follows:
z MP3/WMA player: It is possible to play up
to 192 folders or 255 files on one disc.
z USB memory: It is possible to play up to
3000 folders, 255 f iles per folder or
9999 files in the device.
z The order changes depending on the per-
sonal computer and MP3/WMA encoding
software you use. z
CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a pro-
cess that allows discs to be played on a
conventional CD player) cannot be played.
z 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.
z It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the envi-
ronment. Record with the correct format.
(For details, contact the appropriate appli-
cation manufacturers of the applications.)
z CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged by
direct exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures or other storage conditions. The unit
may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
z If you insert a CD-RW disc into the MP3/
WMA player, playback will begin more
slowly than with a conventional CD or CD-
R disc.
z Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be
played using the DDCD (Double Density
CD) system.
