FM reception
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 vehi-
cle 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 sta-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions inthe area.

AM (MW, LW) reception
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre-
quencies. These long, low frequency
radio waves can follow the curvature
of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In
addition, they curve around obstruc-
tions so that they can provide better
signal coverage.
FM radio station
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the earth's surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally
begin to fade at short distances from
the station. Also, FM signals are eas-
ily affected by buildings, mountains,
or other obstructions. These can
result in certain listening 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 anotherstronger 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.

56 Station Swapping - As a 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 astronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by adirect and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from
two stations with close frequencies.
If this occurs, select another stationuntil the condition has passed.
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 notmean 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 equipment.
CAUTION
When using a communicationsystem such as a cellular phoneor a radio set inside the vehicle, a separate external antennamust be fitted. When a cellularphone or a radio set is usedwith an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehi-cle's electrical system andadversely affect safe operation of the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.

✽✽NOTICE - Using Compact Discs
This device has been manufactured to be compatible with software
bearing the following logo marks.
Do not clean discs with chemical solutions, such as record sprays,
antistatic sprays, antistatic liq-
uids, benzene, or thinners.
After using a disc, put the disc back in its original case to prevent
disc scratches.
Hold discs by their edges or within the center hole to prevent damage
to disc surfaces.
Do not introduce foreign sub- stances into the disc insert/eject
slot. Introducing foreign sub-
stances could damage the device
interior.
Do not insert two discs simultane- ously.
When using CD-R/CD-RW discs, differences in disc reading and
playing times may occur depend-
ing on the disc manufacturer, pro-
duction method and the recording
method used. (Continued)(Continued)
Clean fingerprints and dust off the
disc surface (coated side) with a
soft cloth.
The use of CD-R/CD-RW discs attached with labels may result in
disc slot jams or difficulties in disc
removal. Such discs may also
result in noise while playing.
Some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not properly operate depending on
the disc manufacturer, production
method and the recording method
used. If problems persist, trying
using a different CD as continued
use may result in malfunctions.
The performance of this product may differ depending on the
CDRW Drive Software.
Copy-protected CDs such as Stype CDs may not function in the
device. DATA discs cannot be
played. (However, such discs may
still operate but will do so abnor-
mally.) (Continued)(Continued)
Do not use abnormally shaped discs
(8cm, heart-shaped, octagon-
shaped) as such discs could lead to
malfunctions.
If the disc is straddled on the disc slot without removal for 10 sec-
onds, the disc will automatically
be re-inserted into the disc player.
Only genuine audio CDs are sup- ported. Other discs may result in
recognition failure (e.g. copy
CDR, CDs with labels)
