AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
INFORMATION
●Depending on the Bluetooth® device that is connected to the system, the music may start
playing when selecting while it is pa used. Conversely, the music may pause when
selecting while it is playing.
●In the following conditions, the system may not function:
•The Bluetooth
® device is turned off.
•The Bluetooth
® device is not connected.
•The Bluetooth
® device has a low battery.
●It may take time to connect the phone when Bluetooth® audio is being played.
●For operating the portable player, see the instruction manual that comes with it.
●If the Bluetooth® device is disconnected due to poor reception from the Bluetooth® net-
work when the engine switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode, the system
automatically reconnects the portable player.
●If the Bluetooth® device is disconnected on purpose, such as it was turned off, this does not
happen. Reconnect the portable player manually.
●Bluetooth® device information is regi stered when the Bluetooth® device is connected to
the Bluetooth® audio system. When selling or disp osing of the vehicle, remove the
Bluetooth® audio information from the system. ( P.48)

AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
1. OPERATING INFORMATION
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter.
They are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for 2 signals to reach the vehi-
cle’s antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering: These occur when sig-
nals are blocked by buildings, trees or other
large objects. Increasing the bass level may
reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping: If th e FM signal being lis-
tened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the sec-
ond station until the original signal can be
picked up again.
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by the
upper atmosphere — especially at night.
These reflected signals can interfere with
those received directly from the radio sta-
tion, causing the radio station to sound al-
ternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a ra-
dio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each oth-
er, making it difficult to hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high ten-
sion power lines, ligh tening or electrical
motors. This results in static.
NOTICE
●To avoid damage to the audio/visual sys-
tem:
• Be careful not to spill beverages over the 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.

To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint-free
cloth that has been dampened with water.
Wipe in a straight line from the center to the
edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry it with
another soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use a
conventional record cleaner or anti-static
device.
 CD-R/CD-RW discs th at have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a pro-
cess that allows discs to be played on a
conventional CD player) cannot be played.
 It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-
RW discs recorded on a music CD
recorder or a personal computer because
of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the
lens of the unit.
 It may not be possible to play discs
recorded on a person al computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the envi-
ronment. Record with the correct format.
(For details, contact the appropriate appli-
cation manufacturers of the applications.)
 CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged by
direct exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures or other storage conditions. The unit
may be unable to play some damaged
discs.
 If you insert a CD-RW disc into the player,
playback will begin more slowly than with a
conventional CD or CD-R disc. 
Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be
played using the DDCD (Double Density
CD) system.

uct(s) identified in the badge, and has been
