AUTOMATIC PLAYBACK OF

If the radio broadcast is interrupted by
another audio output, such as an
incoming phone call, the system will
automatically cache the interrupted
portion and perform time-shift playback
when the interruption ends. To manually
operate the cache operation: ( →P.186)
INFORMATION
●The system can store up to 15 minutes.
Cached data will be erased when the
radio mode or station is changed or when
the audio system is turned off.

ing process, cache writing will continue,
with the noise or silence recorded as is. In
this case, the cached broadcast will con-
tain the noise or silence when played
back.
RADIO BROADCAST DATA
SYSTEM
This audio system is equipped with Ra-
dio Broadcast Data Systems (RBDS).
RBDS mode allows text messages to be
received from radio stations that utilize
RBDS transmitters.
When RBDS is on, the radio can
— only select stations of a particular pro-
gram type,
— display messages from radio stations,
— search for a stronger signal station.
RBDS features are available only when
listening to an FM station that
broadcasts RBDS information and the
“FM Info” indicator is on.

1. OPERATING INFORMATION
NOTICE
●To avoid damage to the audio/visual sys-
tem:
• Be careful not to spill beverages overthe audio/visual system.
• Do not put anything other than an appropriate disc into the disc slot.
INFORMATION
●
The use of a cellular phone inside or near
the vehicle may cause a noise from the
speakers of the audio/visual system which
you are listening to. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
RADIO
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.
