How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then received by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some cases the signal
coming to your vehicle may not be
strong and clear. This can be due to
factors, such as the distance from
the radio station, closeness of other
strong radio stations or the presence
of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.

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,
use the cellular phone at a place as
far as possible from the audio equip-
ment.
Care of disc (if equipped)
If the temperature inside the car is too high, open the car windows for
ventilation before using your car
audio.
It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA/AAC/WAVE files with-
out 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 and carry
CDs by the edges or the edges of
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 onto it.
Make sure on undesirable matter other than CDs are inserted 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
manufacturing companies or mak-
ing and recording methods. In such
circumstances, if you still continue
to use those CDs, they may cause
the malfunction of your car audio
system.
