Operating Tips for Audio System
WARNING
Do not adjust the audio control switches while driving the vehicle:
Adjusting the audio while driving the vehicle is dangerous as it could distract your attention from the vehicle operation which could lead to a serious accident. Always adjust the audio while the vehicle is stopped. Even if the audio control switches are equipped on the steering wheel, learn to use the switches without looking down at them so that you can keep your maximum attention on the road while driving the vehicle. CAUTION Ø For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level that allows you to hear sounds outside of the vehicle.
Ø Do not install non-genuine
speakers since their vibration may affect the DSC/RSC sensors.
NOTE l Do not use the audio for long periods of
time while the engine is off. Otherwise the battery could go dead.
l If a cellular phone or CB radio is used in or near the vehicle, it could cause noise to occur from the audio system, however, this does not indicate that the system has been damaged.

Signals from an FM transmitter are similar to beams of light because they do not bend around corners, but they do reflect. Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM stations cannot be received at the great distances possible with AM reception.
Ionosphere
FM wave
AM wave
FM wave
100—200 km (60—120 miles)
Atmospheric conditions can also affect FM reception. High humidity will cause poor reception. However, cloudy days may provide better reception than clear days.
Multipath noise Since FM signals can be reflected by obstructions, it is possible to receive both the direct signal and the reflected signal at the same time. This causes a slight delay in reception and may be heard as a broken sound or a distortion. This problem may also be encountered when in close proximity to the transmitter.
Direct
Reflected wave
Interior Comfort Audio System
qRadio Reception AM characteristics AM signals bend around such things as buildings or mountains and bounce off the ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach longer distances than FM signals. Because of this, two stations may sometimes be picked up on the same frequency at the same time.
Ionosphere
Station 1
Station 2
FM characteristics An FM broadcast range is usually about 40―50 km (25―30 miles) from the source. Because of extra coding needed to break the sound into two channels, stereo FM has even less range than monaural (non-stereo) FM.

Flutter/Skip noise Signals from an FM transmitter move in straight lines and become weak in valleys between tall buildings, mountains, and other obstacles. When a vehicle passes through such an area, the reception conditions may change suddenly, resulting in annoying noise.
Strong signal noise This occurs very close to a transmitter tower. The broadcast signals are extremely strong, so the result is noise and sound breakup at the radio receiver.
Weak signal noise In suburban areas, broadcast signals become weak because of distance from the transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas is characterized by sound breakup.
Station drift noise When a vehicle reaches the area of two strong stations broadcasting at similar frequencies, the original station may be temporarily lost and the second station picked up. At this time there will be some noise from this disturbance.
Station 1 88.1 MHz
Station 2 88.3 MHz

qOperating Tips for CD Player/In-
Dash CD Changer
Condensation phenomenon Immediately after turning on the heater when the vehicle is cold, the CD or optical components (prism and lens) in the CD player/In-dash CD changer may become clouded with condensation. At this time, the CD will eject immediately when placed in the unit. A clouded CD can be corrected simply by wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded optical components will clear naturally in about an hour. Wait for normal operation to return before attempting to use the unit.
Handling the CD player/In-dash CD changer The following precautions should be observed. l Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.
l The CD revolves at high speed within
the unit. Defective (cracked or badly bent) CDs should never be used.
l Do not use non-conventional discs
such as heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc. The disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
l If the memory portion of the CD is
transparent or translucent, do not use the disc.
l Do not insert any objects, other than
CDs, into the slot.

In addition, the disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction. Remove the rough edges in advance by using a ball-point pen or pencil as shown below. To remove the rough edges, rub the side of the pen or pencil against the inner and outer perimeter of the CD.

l When driving over uneven surfaces,
the sound may jump.
l Be sure never to touch the signal
surface when handling the CDs. Pick up a CD by grasping the outer edge or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
l The CD player/In-dash CD changer has been designed to play CDs bearing the identification logo as shown. No other discs can be played.
l Use discs that have been legitimately
produced. If illegally-copied discs such as pirated discs are used, the system may not operate properly.
l Do not stick paper or tape on the CD. Avoid scratching the reverse side (the side without a label). The disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
l Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can
decrease the amount of light reflected from the signal surface, thus affecting sound quality. If the CD should become soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth from the center of the CD to the edge.

MP3
Abbreviation for “MPEG Audio Layer 3”. A technical standard for audio compression as decided by an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) MPEG working group. Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be compressed to approximately a tenth of the source data size.ISO 9660
An international standard for logical formatting of CD-ROM files and folders. It is divided into three separate levels based on differences in file naming procedures, data configuration and other characteristics.Multi-session A session is the complete amount of data recorded from the beginning to the end of a single period of CD-ROM, CD-R/CD- RW data recording. Multi-session refers to the existence of data from two or more sessions on a single disc.

Sampling Refers to the process of encoding analog audio data at regular intervals and converting it to digital data. The sampling rate refers to the number of times a sample is taken in one second and is expressed in Hz units. Increasing the sampling rate improves the sound quality but also increases the data size.
Bit rate Refers to the volume of data per second, expressed in bps (bits per second). Generally, the larger the number of the transfer bit rate when compressing an MP3 file, the more information regarding musical reproduction it carries, and therefore the better the sound quality.
Packet writing A general term for the method, similar to that used for floppy discs or hard drives, of recording the required file in a single increment on a CD-R and similar.
ID3 Tag ID3 tag is a method for storing information related to the music in an MP3 file. Information such as track, artist and album name can be stored. This content can be freely edited using ID3
editing function software.VBR Abbreviation for Variable Bit Rate. While CBR (Constant Bit Rate) is generally used, VBR varies the bit rate for audio compression according to compression conditions and this allows for compression with preference given to sound quality.
