HINT: 

• When it is cold or it is raining, if the windows mist up, mist and condensation may form in the player. In such cases, the CD sound may skip or stop in the middle of play. Ventilate or dehumidify the cabin for a while before using the player.
• The CD sound may skip if the player experiences strong vibrations when the vehicle is driven on rough roads or similar uneven surfaces.

1. If dirt is on the disc surface, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth such as an eyeglass cleaner for plastic lenses from the inside to the outside in a radial direction.
   NOTE:

   • Pressing on the disc by hand or rubbing the disc with a hard cloth may scratch the disc surface.
   • Use of solvents such as record spray, antistatic agents, alcohol, benzine, thinners or a chemical cloth may cause damage to the disc, making the disc unusable.

1. Additional text information called an ID3 tag can be input to MP3 files. Information such as song titles and artist names can be stored.

   HINT: 

   This player is compatible with ID3 tags of ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1, and ID3 Ver. 2.2 and 2.3 (Number of characters complies with ID3 Ver. 1.0 and 1.1.).

2. Additional text information called a WMA tag can be input to WMA files. Information such as song titles and artist names can be stored.

1. Only CD-ROMs, CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be used to play MP3/WMA files.
   NOTE:

   • CD-Rs and CD-RWs are more easily affected by a hot and humid environment than discs used for normal audio CDs. For this reason, some CD-Rs and CD-RWs do not play.
   • If there are fingerprints or scratches on a disc, the disc may not play or the CD sound may skip.
   • Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may deteriorate if they are left in the cabin for a long time.
   • Keep CD-Rs and CD-RWs in an opaque case.

1. Usable media format

   Disc format	CD-ROM Mode 1, CD-ROM XA Mode 2 Form1
   File format	ISO9660 Level 1 and Level 2 (Joliet, Romeo)

   HINT: 

   • As for MP3/WMA files written in any unlisted format, the contents of the files may not be played normally or the file names or folder names may not be displayed correctly.
   • This player is compatible with multi-session discs and can play CD-Rs and CD-RWs on which MP3/WMA files have been added. However, only the first session can be played.
   • Discs whose first session includes both music data and MP3 or WMA format data cannot be played.
2. Standards and restrictions

   Maximum directory levels	8 levels

1. Only files with an extension of ".mp3" or ".wma" can be recognized and played as MP3 or WMA files.
2. Save MP3 or WMA files with an extension of ".mp3" or ".wma".
   NOTE:

   If non-MP3 or non-WMA files are saved with an extension of ".mp3" or ".wma", those files may be wrongly recognized as MP3 or WMA files and played. A loud noise may occur and damage to the speakers may result.

1. Audio and visual system components communicate with each other via the MOST network.
2. The MOST network uses a shielded twisted pair of wires for its communication lines.
3. The master unit of the MOST network is the multi-media module receiver assembly.
4. MOST communication lines connect each slave unit centering around the master unit to form a MOST network ring.
5. The master unit sends a wake-up signal to activate each slave unit connected to the MOST network.

   HINT: 

   If a short or open circuit occurs in the MOST circuit, communication will be interrupted and the system will not operate normally.

1. Radio broadcasts use the radio frequency bands shown in the table below.

1. 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.

HINT: 

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.

1. 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	Phasing
   *b	Ionosphere

2. 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.

   Multipath

3. Fade out

   Fade out is caused by objects (buildings, mountains and other such large obstacles) that deflect away 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 deflect.
