How vehicle radio works
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 processed by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
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 sta-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions in
the area.
AM 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 distance,low
frequency radio waves can follow the
curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight. In addition, they
curve around obstructions resulting
in better signal coverage.OJF045308L

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 within short distances
from the station. Also, FM signals are
easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains, and obstructions. This can lead
to undesirable or unpleasant listen-
ing 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 another
station with a stronger signal.
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. Station Swapping - As an FM sig-
nal weakens, another more power-
ful 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 a
stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from
two stations with close frequencies.
If this occurs, select another station
until 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 not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possible.
When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adversely
affect safe operation of the vehicle.
WARNING- Cell phone use
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 com-
patible 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 CD-
RW Drive Software.
• Copy-protected CDs such as S- type 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 CD-
R, CDs with labels)

NOTICE - Using the USB
Devices
• Connect the USB device after turning on the engine. The USB
device may become damaged if it
is already connected when the
ignition is turned on. The USB
device may not operate properly if
the car ignition is turned on or off
with the USB device connected.
• Be careful for static electricity when connecting/disconnecting
USB devices.
• Encoded MP3 Players will not be recognized when connected as an
external device.
• When connecting an external USB device, the vehicle's audio system
may not recognize the USB
depending on what firmware is
used by USB device or what files
are on the USB.
• Only products formatted with byte/sectors under 64Kbyte will be
recognized.
• This device recognizes USB devices formatted in FAT 12/16/32
file formats. This device does not
recognize files in NTFS file for-
mat. (Continued)(Continued)
• Some USB devices may not be sup-
ported due to compatibility issues.
• Avoid contact between the USB connector and bodily parts or for-
eign objects.
• Repeated connecting/disconnect- ing of USB devices within short
periods of time may result in prod-
uct malfunction.
• A strange noise may occur when disconnecting the USB.
• Make sure to connect/disconnect external USB devices with the
audio power turned off.
• The amount of time required to recognize the USB device may dif-
fer depending on the type, size or
file formats stored on the USB.
Such differences in time are not
indications of malfunctions.
• The vehicle audio system only sup- ports USB devices designed to
play music files
• USB images and videos are not supported. (Continued)(Continued)
• Do not use the USB I/F to charge
batteries or USB accessories that
generate heat. Doing so may lead
to worsened performance or dam-
age to the audio system.

purchased USB hubs and exten-
sion cables are being used.
Connect the USB device directly
with the USB port of the vehicle.
• When using mass storage USB devices with separate logical
drives, only files saved to the root
drive can be played.
• Files may not properly operate if application programs are installed
on the USBs.
• The audio system may not operate normally if MP3 Players, cellular
phones, digital cameras, or other
electronic devices (USB devices
not recognized as portable disk
drives) are connected with the
audio system. (Continued)
