Protecting Your Discs


General Information Onmodelswithoutnavigationsystem


When using CD-R or CD-RW discs, use only high quality discs labeled for audio use.


Onmodelswithnavigationsystem


When using CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R or DVD-RW discs, use only high quality discs labeled for audio use.


Allmodels


Play only standard, round, 5-inch (12 cm) discs. Smaller or odd- shaped discs may jam in the drive or cause other problems.


When recording a CD-R or CD-RW, the recording must be closed for it to be used by the disc changer.


When recording a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R or DVD-RW the recording must be closed for it to be used by the disc player.


Handle your discs properly to prevent damage and skipping.


When using DVD-R/RW discs, they should meet DVD verification standards.


Do not use discs with adhesive labels. The label can curl up and cause the disc to jam in the unit.

Protecting Your Discs


Protecting Discs When a disc is not being played, store it in its case to protect it from dust and other contamination. To prevent warpage, keep discs out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.


To clean a disc, use a clean soft cloth. Wipe across the disc from the center to the outside edge.


A new disc may be rough on the inner and outer edges. The small plastic pieces causing this roughness can flake off and fall on the recording surface of the disc, causing skipping or other problems. Remove these pieces by rubbing the inner and outer edges with the side of a pencil or pen.


Never try to insert foreign objects in the disc changer.


382


Additional Information on Recommended Discs The in-dash disc player has a sophisticated and delicate mechanism. If you insert a damaged disc as indicated in this section, it may become stuck inside and damage the audio unit.


Examples of these discs are shown as follows.


Handle a disc by its edges; never touch either surface. Do not place stabilizer rings or labels on the disc. These, along with contamination from finger prints, liquids, and felt- tip pens, can cause the disc to not play properly, or possibly jam in the drive.

Radio Frequencies Your vehicle’s radio can receive the complete AM and FM bands. Those bands cover these frequencies: AM band: 530 to 1,710 kHz FM band: 87.7 to 107.9 MHz


Radio stations on the AM band are assigned frequencies at least 10 kHz apart (530, 540, 550). Stations on the FM band are assigned frequencies at least 0.2 MHz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).


Stations must use these exact frequencies. It is fairly common for stations to round-off the frequency in their advertising, so your radio could display a frequency of 100.9 even though the announcer may identify the station as ‘‘FM101.’’


Radio Reception How well your vehicle’s radio receives stations is dependent on many factors, such as the distance from the station’s transmitter, nearby large objects, and atmospheric conditions.


A radio station’s signal gets weaker as you get farther away from its transmitter. If you are listening to an AM station, you will notice the sound volume becoming weaker, and the station drifting in and out. If you are listening to an FM station, you will see the stereo indicator flickering off and on as the signal weakens. Eventually, the stereo indicator will go off and the sound will fade completely as you get out of range of the station’s signal.


AM/FM Radio Reception


Driving very near the transmitter of a station that is broadcasting on a frequency close to the frequency of the station you are listening to can also affect your radio’s reception. You may temporarily hear both stations, or hear only the station you are close to.

AM/FM Radio Reception


This device complies with the appropriate requirements or the required standards. See page 628
more information.


for


Radio signals, especially on the FM band, are deflected by large objects such as buildings and hills. Your radio then receives both the direct signal from the station’s transmitter, and the deflected signal. This causes the sound to distort or flutter. This is a main cause of poor radio reception in city driving.


Radio reception can be affected by atmospheric conditions such as thunderstorms, high humidity, and even sunspots. You may be able to receive a distant radio station one day and not receive it the next day because of a change in conditions.


Electrical interference from passing vehicles and stationary sources (such as garages or parking structures) can cause temporary reception problems.
