6-5.Tips for operating the audio/visual system
●The use of a mobile 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 mal- function.
Usually, a problem with radio recep-
tion does not mean there is a prob-
lem with the radio  it is just the
normal result of conditions outside
the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and
terrain can interfere with FM recep-
tion. Power lines or phone wires
can interfere with AM signals. And
of course, radio signals have a lim-
ited range. The farther the vehicle
is from a station, the weaker its sig-
nal will be. In addition, reception
conditions change c onstantly as the
vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception
problems that probably do not indi-
cate a problem with the radio are
described.
■FM
Fading and drifting stations: Gener-
ally, the effective range of FM is
about 40 km (25 miles). Once out-
side this range, you may notice fad-
ing and drifting, wh ich increase with
the distance from the radio trans-
mitter. They are often accompanied
by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflec-
tive, 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 build-
ings, trees or other large objects.
Increasing the bass level may
reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping: If the FM signal
being listened to is interrupted or
weakened, and there is another
strong station nearby on the FM
band, the radio may tune in the
second station until the original sig-
nal can be picked up again.
■AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are
reflected by the upper atmosphere
 especially at night. These
reflected signals can interfere with
those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio sta-
tion to sound alternately strong and
weak.
Station interference: When a
reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio sta-
tion are very nearly the same fre-
quency, they can interfere with

each other, making it difficult to
hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by
external sources of electrical noise,
such as high tension power lines,
lightening or electrical motors. This
results in static.

Audio
 The player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
 MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3),
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
and AAC (Advanced Audio Cod-
ing) are audio compression
standards.
 This system can play AAC/AAC+
v2/MP3/WMA files on USB
memory device, and Bluetooth®
device.
 When naming an AAC/AAC+
v2/MP3/WMA file, add an appro-
priate file extension
(.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
 This system plays back files with
.mp3/.wma/.m4a file extensions
as AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA
files respectively. 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 folder
name, file name 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 information
such as file name and artist
name.
 This system can play back AAC
files encoded by iTunes.
 The sound quality of MP3/WMA
files generally improves with
higher bit rates. In order to
achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, USB memory

device recorded with a bit rate of
at least 128 kbps are recom-
mended.
 m3u playlists are not compatible
with the audio device.
 MP3i (MP3 interactive) and
MP3PRO formats are not com-
patible with the audio device.
 When playing back files
recorded as VBR (Variable Bit
Rate) files, the play time will not
be correctly displayed if the fast
forward or rewind operations are
used.
 It is not possible to check folders
that do not include AAC/AAC+
v2/MP3/WMA files.
 AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA files in
folders up to 3 levels deep can
be played. However, the start of
playback may be delayed when
using USB memory device con-
taining numerous levels of fold-
ers. For this reason, we
recommend creating USB mem-
ory device with no more than 2
levels of folders.
 The play order of the USB mem-
ory device with the structure
shown above is as follows:
The play order will change according to
the playback method.
 The play order of a USB memory
device may change depending
on the personal computer and
AAC/AAC+ v2/MP3/WMA
encoding software that were
used.
 WMA (Windows Media Audio) is
an audio compression format
developed by Microsoft®. It com-
presses files into a size smaller
than that of MP3 files. The
decoding formats for WMA files
are Ver. 7, 8 and 9. This product
is protected by certain intellec-
tual property rights of Microsoft
Corporation and third parties.
Use or distribution of such tech-
nology outside of this product is
prohibited without a licence from
Microsoft or an authorized
Microsoft subsidiary and third

 MP3 is an audio compression
standard determined by a work-
ing group (MPEG) of the ISO
(International Standard Organi-
zation). MP3 compresses audio
data to about 1/10 the size of
that on conventional discs.

Talk switch
 Press the talk switch to start the
voice recognition system.
 To cancel voice recognition,
press and hold the talk switch.
■Microphone
 It is unnecessary to speak
directly into the microphone
when giving a command.
●This function or part of this function
may not be available in some lan- guages and countries.
●Wait for the confirmation beep before speaking a command.
●Voice commands may not be recog-nised if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume. • Driving with a window open.
• Passengers are talking while voice
commands are spoken. • The air conditioning speed is set high.
• When air from the ventilator blows
directly toward the microphone.
●In the following conditions, the system
may not recognise the command properly and using voice commands
may not be possible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words, accents or
speech patterns may be difficult for
the system to recognise. • There is excessive background noise,
such as wind noise.
Voice recognition sys-
tem
The voice recognition system
enables the audio, hands-free
systems, etc. to be operated
using voice commands.
Refer to the command list for
samples of voice commands.
