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 the 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.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, lightening or electrical
motors. This results in static.

6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
IS300h/250_Navi_EE
zHandle discs carefully, especially when
inserting them. Hold them on the edge and
do not bend them. Avoid getting finger-
prints on them, particularly on the shiny
side.
zDirt, 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.)
zRemove 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 centre 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.
zCD-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.
zIt 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.
zIt 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.)
zCD-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.
zIf you insert a CD-RW disc into the player,
playback will begin more slowly than with a
conventional CD or CD-R disc.
zRecordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be
played using the DDCD (Double Density
CD) system.

■COMPATIBLE CHANNEL MODES
zMP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA
(Windows Media Audio) and AAC
(Advanced Audio Coding) are audio com-
pression standards.
zThis system can play MP3/WMA/AAC
files on CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW
discs and USB memory.
zThis system can play disc recordings com-
patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2
and with the Romeo and Joliet file system
and UDF (2.01 or lower).
zWhen naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file,
add an appropriate file extension (.mp3/
.w m a / . m 4 a ) .
zThis system plays back files with .mp3/
.wma/.m4a file extensions as MP3/WMA/
AAC files respectively. To prevent noise
and playback errors, use the appropriate
file extension.
zThis system can play only the first session/
border when using multi session/border
compatible discs.
zMP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag
Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 for-
mats. This system cannot display disc title,
track title and artist name in other formats.
zWMA/AAC files can contain a WMA/
AAC tag that is used in the same way as an
ID3 tag. WMA/AAC tags carry informa-
tion such as track title and artist name.
zThe emphasis function is available only
when playing MP3 files.
zThis system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes.zThe sound quality of MP3/WMA files gen-
erally improves with higher bit rates. In
order to achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, discs recorded with a bit rate
of at least 128 kbps are recommended.
zM3u playlists are not compatible with the
audio player.
zMP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO
formats are not compatible with the audio
player.
zThe player is compatible with VBR (Vari-
able Bit Rate).
zWhen playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if the fast for-
ward or reverse operations are used.
zIt is not possible to check folders that do not
include MP3/WMA/AAC files.
zMP3/WMA/AAC 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.

2. LEXUS PARKING ASSIST-SENSOR
IS300h/250_Navi_EE
zThe shape of the obstacle may prevent a
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
•Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections project-
ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle
CAUTION
●Caution when using the Lexus parking
assist-sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident.
• Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
• Do not attach any accessories within
the sensor range.
●Even though sensors which are function-
ing properly continue to detect obstacles,
never use the Lexus parking assist if one
more sensor(s) may be malfunctioning.
NOTICE
●Notes when washing the vehicle
●Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
●Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.
●As the parking assist-sensor might be
malfunctioning in the following cases,
have it checked by any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
• The graphic which indicates that an
obstacle has been detected does not
come on and a beep does not sound
even when the Lexus parking assist-
sensor mode is turned on.
• The graphic which indicates that an
obstacle has been detected comes on
despite no obstacle around the vehicle.
• If your vehicle has been involved in an
accident.
• If the graphic which indicates that an
obstacles has been detected remains
on without a beeping sound.
