Things You Need to Know
WARNING
Always adjust the audio while the
vehicle is stopped: Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle.
Adjusting the audio while driving
the vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the vehicle
operation which could lead to a
serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.

CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level that
allows you to hear sounds outside of
the vehicle including car horns and
particularly emergency vehicle sirens.

NOTE
  To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio
system on for a long period of time
when the engine is not running.
  If a cellular phone or CB radio is used
in or near the vehicle, it could cause
noise to occur from the audio system,
however, this does not indicate that the
system has been damaged.

Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.


Radio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances
than FM signals.
Because of this, two stations may
sometimes be picked up on the same
frequency at the same time.

Station 2
Station 1 Ionosphere

Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas
is characterized by sound breakup.

Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise and sound
breakup at the radio receiver.


Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be some
noise from this disturbance.

Station 2
88.3 MHz
Station 1
88.1 MHz

Operating Tips for MP3
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3,
which is standardized voice compression
established by the ISO
*1 working group
(MPEG).
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be
compressed to approximately a tenth of
the source data size.
This unit plays fi les with the extension
(.mp3) as MP3 fi les.

*1 International Organization for
Standardization

CAUTION
Do not use an audio fi le extension on
fi les other than audio fi les. In addition,
do not change the audio fi le extension.
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize
the fi le correctly resulting in noise or a
malfunction.

and is the audio compression format used
by Microsoft
*1 .
Audio data can be created and stored at a
higher compression ratio than MP3.
This unit plays fi les with the extension
(.wma) as WMA fi les.

do not change the audio fi le extension.
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize
the fi le correctly resulting in noise or a
malfunction.
  WMA fi les written under speci fi cations
other than the indicated speci fi cation
may not play normally or fi les or folder
names may not display correctly.
   The fi le extension may not be provided
depending on the computer operating
system, version, software, or settings. In
this case, add the fi le extension “.wma”
to the end of the fi le name, and then
write it to the memory.

Operating Tips for AAC
AAC stands for Advanced Audio Coding,
which is standardized voice compression
established by the ISO
*1 working group
(MPEG). Audio data can be created and
stored at a higher compression ratio than
MP3.
This unit plays fi les with the extensions
(.aac/.m4a/.wav
*2 ) as the AAC fi les.
CAUTION
Do not use an audio fi le extension on
fi les other than audio fi les. In addition,
do not change the audio fi le extension.
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize
the fi le correctly resulting in noise or a
