4-6.Tips for operating the audio/visual system
●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.
Usually, a problem with radio
reception does not mean there
is a problem with the radio it
is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings
and terrain can interfere with FM
reception. Power lines or phone
wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals. And of course, radio sig-
nals have a limited range. The
farther the vehicle is from a sta-
tion, the weaker i ts signal will
be. In addition, reception condi-
tions change constantly as the
vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception
problems that probably do not
indicate a problem with the radio
are described.
■FM
Fading and drifting stations:
Generally, the effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40 km).
Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting,
which increase with the distance
from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by dis-
tortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are
reflective, making it possible for
2 signals to reach the vehicle’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 signals are blocked
by buildings, trees or other large
objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and flut-
tering.
Station swapping: If the FM sig-
nal being listened to is inter-
rupted or weakened, and there
is another strong station nearby
on the FM band, the radio may
tune in the second station until
the original signal can be picked
up again.
■AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are
reflected by the upper atmo-
sphere especially at night.
These reflected signals can
interfere with those received
directly from the radio station,
causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and
weak.

MP3/WMA/AAC files respec-
tively. To prevent noise and
playback errors, use the
appropriate file extension.
MP3 files are compatible with
the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1,
Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats.
This system cannot display
disc title, track title and artist
name in other formats.
WMA/AAC files can contain a
WMA/AAC tag that is used in
the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA/AAC tags carry infor-
mation such as track title and
artist name.
The emphasis function is
available only when playing
MP3 files.
This system can play back
AAC files encoded by iTunes.
The sound quality of
MP3/WMA files generally
improves with higher bit rates.
m3u playlists are not compati-
ble with the audio player.
MP3i (MP3 interactive) and
MP3PRO formats are not
compatible with the audio
player.
The player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files
recorded as VBR (Variable Bit
Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if
the fast forward or reverse operations are used.
It is not possible to check fold-
ers that do not include
MP3/WMA/AAC files.
MP3/WMA/AAC files in fold-
ers up to 8 levels deep can be
played. However, the start of
playback may be delayed
when using USB memory
containing numerous levels of
folders. For this reason, we
recommend creating USB
memory with no more than 2
levels of folders.
The play order of the USB
memory with the structure
shown above is as follows:
The order changes depending
on the personal computer and
MP3/WMA/AAC encoding
software you use.
