Precautions for use of discs
Note
CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) may not be played depending on the recording conditions or characteristics of the discs, or due to damage, dirt or deterioration caused by leaving the discs in the cabin for a long time.
Unfinalized CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) cannot be played.
CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) are more easily affected by a hot and humid environment than discs used for normal audio CDs. For this reason, some CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) may not be played.
If there are fingerprints or scratches on a disc, the disc may not be played or the disc may skip.
Some CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) may deteriorate if they are left in the cabin for a long time.
Keep CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs (DVD-Recordable) and DVD-RWs (DVD-ReWritable) in an opaque case.
SECAM color television standard discs cannot be played.
DualDiscs that mate DVD recorded material on one side with CD digital audio material on the other cannot be played.
Keep discs away from dirt. Be careful not to damage the discs or leave fingerprints on them.
Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole with the label side up.
Leaving a disc exposed halfway out of the slot for a long time after pressing the disc eject button may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.
If a disc has adhesive tape, stickers, disc labels or any traces of such labels attached, the disc may not be ejected or player malfunctions may result.
Keep discs away from direct sunlight. (Exposure to direct sunlight may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.)
Do not use odd-shaped discs because these may cause player malfunctions.
Do not use discs whose recording portion is transparent or translucent because they may not be inserted, ejected or played normally.

RADIO DESCRIPTION
Radio frequency band
Radio broadcasts use the radio frequency bands shown in the table below.
Service area
*a | FM (Stereo) |
*b | FM (Monaural) |
*c | AM |
The service areas of AM and FM broadcasts are vastly different. Sometimes an AM broadcast can be received very clearly but an FM stereo broadcast cannot. FM stereo has the smallest service area, and is prone to pick up static and other types of interference such as noise.
Radio reception problems
Tech Tips
In addition to static, other problems such as "phasing", "multipath" and "fade out" exist. These problems are not caused by electrical noise, but by the radio signal propagation method itself.
*a | Phasing |
*b | Ionosphere |
Phasing
AM broadcasts are susceptible to electrical interference and another kind of interference called phasing. Occurring only at night, phasing is the interference created when a vehicle receives 2 radio wave signals from the same transmitter. One signal is reflected off the ionosphere and the other signal is received directly from the transmitter.
*a | Multipath |
Multipath
Multipath is a type of interference created when a vehicle receives 2 radio wave signals from the same transmitter. One signal is reflected off buildings or mountains and the other signal is received directly from the transmitter.
*a | Fade Out |
Fade out
Fade out is caused by objects (buildings, mountains and other large obstructions) that deflect part of a signal, resulting in a weaker signal when the object is between the transmitter and vehicle. High frequency radio waves, such as FM broadcasts, are easily deflected by obstructions. Low frequency radio waves, such as AM broadcasts, are less likely to be deflected.
Noise problem
Technicians must have a clear understanding about each customer's noise complaint. Use the following table to diagnose noise problems.
Radio Frequency | Noise Occurrence Condition | Presumable Cause |
---|---|---|
AM | Noise occurs in a specific area | Foreign noise |
Noise occurs when listening to an intermittent broadcast | An identical program transmitted from multiple towers can cause noise where the signals overlap | |
Noise occurs only at night | Signal phasing | |
FM | Noise occurs while driving in a specific area | Multipath resulting from a change in FM frequency |
VEHICLE CUSTOMIZATION OUTLINE
Customization of functions can also be performed on the multi-display screen. Refer to Owner's Manual for further information on customizable items for the audio and visual system.
Tech Tips
Items available for customization via the audio and visual system can also be customized by using the GTS.
Some customize parameters displayed on the GTS will be displayed on the "Vehicle Customization" screen for the audio and visual system. Users can customize these items.
DIGITAL AUDIO BROADCAST (DAB) FUNCTION OUTLINE (w/ DAB Function)
Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) is the standard for digital radio. Compared to conventional FM/AM broadcasting, DAB enables higher sound quality radio broadcasting with lower noise when reception conditions change. DAB has an FM-Link function that automatically and temporarily changes the radio to the simultaneously broadcasted FM station if the DAB broadcasting reception level falls.
AUTOMATIC SOUND LEVELIZER (ASL) FUNCTION OUTLINE
The Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) function automatically adjusts the audio system volume in order to compensate for increased vehicle noise (vehicle noise tends to increase as vehicle speed increases). The ASL adjusts the volume based upon vehicle speed signals sent from the combination meter assembly.
APP SUITE SERVICE OUTLINE (W/ APP SUITE SERVICE)
