AUDIO AND VISUAL SYSTEM GENERAL

Audio Head Unit

1. In consideration of the unity with the instrument panel, a uniquely sized audio head unit is provided.

2. A Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT LCD) is used for the multi-display of the radio and display receiver assembly*1 or navigation receiver assembly*2. The multi-display shows the audio screen, Bluetooth hands-free screen, vehicle information screen, etc. and can be operated using touch operation, flick operation*3 or drag operation*3.*4

6. A list of currently receivable radio stations (except analog AM radio stations) that are categorized according to their broadcasting content, such as Classical, Rock or Jazz, can be displayed. (Except models with 10-speaker surround sound system)

7. On the radio screen, up to 36* radio station presets for different tuners can be displayed. Additionally, text information from the selected station can be displayed. It is possible to store 6 sets of 6 presets. (Except models with 10-speaker surround sound system)

   Tech Tips

   *: The total number of radio station presets displayed can be changed within the range of 6 to 36 to meet the user's preference.

8. If a radio program is disturbed due to a phone call, time shifted playback is available after the call by caching the radio program either automatically or manually. The most recent 20 minutes of radio program data can be cached. (Models with Entune premium audio with navigation and App Suite system or Entune premium JBL audio with navigation and App Suite system)

HD Radio (Models with Entune Audio Plus System, Entune Premium Audio with Navigation and App Suite System or Entune Premium JBL Audio with Navigation and App Suite System)

1. In-Band On-Channel (IBOC) type digital radio broadcasts (HD Radio) can be received. In-Band On-Channel (IBOC) adds digital signals to the existing analog signal band range and both sidebands, enabling analog FM-sound quality for AM stations and CD-sound quality for FM stations. When the digital signals cannot be received, the radio automatically switches to analog signal reception mode.

   Tech Tips

   HD radio is a trademark of iBiquity Digital Corporation.

   

   

2. The HD radio tuner can receive simple broadcast data along with digital audio broadcast data, enabling support for a multi-broadcast function. With this function, 2 programs, such as the main program and music, can be received simultaneously. Additionally, tag information from the received station can be stored in memory.

Status Display (Except Models with 10-speaker Surround Sound System)

1. The user can confirm the Bluetooth connection status, and signal strength and remaining battery level of a cellular phone which is connected by Bluetooth, using the status bar displayed on the screen. The status bar is displayed in all modes.

   (b)	Cellular phone signal strength*	Displays the signal strength of the cellular phone connected by Bluetooth.
   (c)	Cellular phone battery level*	Displays the battery level of the cellular phone connected by Bluetooth.

   Tech Tips

   *: May not be displayed depending on the Bluetooth specifications and profiles of the cellular phone.

"GreenEdge" Speakers

1. "GreenEdge" speakers that efficiently convert electricity to sound with less sound corruption have been adopted. These speakers realize high sound pressure levels with low power consumption while still maintaining superb sound quality.

2. Due to the adoption of acoustic lenses, the directionality of the speaker output is improved, enhancing the area where the acoustics are effective.

   

XM Satellite Radio

1. XM satellite radio is a subscription type digital broadcast service.

2. In addition to the 2 satellites, XM satellite radio is supported by 800 satellite earth stations (repeaters). As a result, broadcasts can be received throughout the U.S.A. (except Hawaii and Alaska) and most parts of Canada.

3. If the signals from the satellites are disrupted by a tunnel, gulch, or high-rise buildings, a simultaneous broadcast (called "gap filler") through ground based signals helps achieve excellent reception that is free of interruptions.

4. XM satellite radio produces near CD-quality sound using a digital satellite broadcast. It is particularly convenient for long-distance drivers because it is unnecessary to tune to different stations.
