Operating Tips for WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media *1 Audio
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.

*1 Windows Media and Microsoft are
registered trademarks of Microsoft
Corporation U.S. in the United States
and other countries.


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.
  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
malfunction.
  AAC 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 “.aac”,

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Wiper Blades
CAUTION
 Hot waxes applied by automatic car washers have been known to aff ect the
wiper's ability to clean windows.
 To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
 When the wiper lever is in the AUTO position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
 If the windshield above the rain sensor is touched.
 If the windshield above the rain sensor is wiped with a cloth.
 If the windshield is struck with a hand or other object.
 If the rain sensor is struck with a hand or other object from inside the vehicle.
 Be careful not to pinch hands or fi ngers as it may cause injury, or damage the
wipers. When washing or servicing the
vehicle, make sure the wiper lever is in
the OFF position.

Contamination of either the windshield or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.
Replacing Windshield Wiper Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION
 To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
 Do not bend the blade rubber unnecessarily when replacing it.
Otherwise, the metal stiff ener in the
blade may deform and the windshield
wiper operation may be adversely
aff ected.

NOTE
When raising both windshield wiper arms,
raise the driver's side wiper arm fi rst.
When lowering the wiper arms, slowly
lower the wiper arm from the passenger's
side fi rst while supporting it with your
hand. Forcefully lowering the wiper arms
could damage the wiper arm and blade,
and may scratch or crack the windshield.
