The DVD player can only play DVD videos that have any of the following marks:

1. Precaution for use of discs
   

   NOTICE:

   1. NTSC and PAL discs can be played.
      
   2. Keep the discs away from dirt. Be careful not to damage the discs or leave fingerprints on them.
      
   3. Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole with the label side up.
      
   4. Leaving the 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.
      
   5. Do not use odd-shaped CDs because these may cause player malfunctions.
      
   6. Do not use discs whose recording portion is transparent or translucent because they may not be inserted, ejected or played normally.
      
   7. DualDiscs that mate DVD recorded material on one side with CD digital audio material on the other cannot be played.
      

A compact disc player uses a laser pickup to read digital signals recorded on a compact disc (CD). By converting the digital signals to analog, it can play music and audio.

CAUTION:

Do not look directly at the laser pickup because the CD player uses an invisible laser beam. Be sure to operate the player only as instructed.

NOTICE:

1. Do not disassemble any part of the CD player.
   
2. Do not apply oil to the CD player.
   
3. Do not insert anything but a CD into the CD player.
   

Usable discs

1. This player can play only audio CDs, CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) that have any of the following marks:
   

   
   
   
   

Precautions for use of discs

NOTICE:

1. Copy-protected CDs cannot be played.
   
2. CD-Rs and CD-RWs 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.
   
3. Unfinalized CD-Rs and CD-RWs cannot be played.
   
4. Keep the discs away from dirt. Be careful not to damage the discs or leave your fingerprints on them.
   
5. Hold discs by the outer edge and center hole with the label side up.
   
6. Leaving the 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.
   
7. If discs have adhesive tape, stickers, CD labels or any traces of such labels attached, the discs may not be ejected or player malfunctions may result.
   
8. Keep the discs away from direct sunlight. (Exposure to direct sunlight may cause deformation of the disc, making the disc unusable.)
   
9. Do not use odd-shaped CDs because these may cause player malfunctions.
   
10. Do not use discs whose recording portion is transparent or translucent because they may not be inserted, ejected or played normally.
    

HINT:

1. 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.
   
2. The CD sound may skip if the player experiences strong vibrations when the vehicle is driven on rough roads or similar uneven surface(s).
   

Cleaning

NOTICE:

Do not use a lens cleaner because it may cause a malfunction in the pickup portion of the player.

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.
   

   NOTICE:

   1. Pressing on the disc by hand or rubbing the disc with a hard cloth may scratch the disc surface.
      
   2. Use of solvent such as a record spray, antistatic agent, alcohol, benzine and thinner or a chemical cloth may cause damage to the disc, making the disc unusable.

Radio frequency band

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

   
   
   
   

Service area

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. An FM stereo broadcast has the smallest service area, and is prone to pick up static and other types of interference such as noise.

   *b	FM (Monaural)
   *c	AM

Radio reception problems

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.
   

   Text in Illustration

   *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 much more difficult to deflect.

Noise problem
Technicians must have a clear understanding about the noise complaint of each customer. Use the following table to diagnose noise problems.

HINT:

If the noise does not match the examples above, refer to the descriptions about phasing and multipath.

"Bluetooth" is a trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG. Inc.

"Bluetooth" is a wireless connection technology that uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This makes it possible to connect a cellular phone ("Bluetooth" compatible phone*) to the radio and display receiver assembly (the "Bluetooth" system is built in), and use the handsfree function of the cellular phone, even if it is in a pocket or bag. As a result, it is not necessary to use a connector attached directly to the cellular phone.
*: Some versions of "Bluetooth" compatible cellular phones may not function.

HINT:

The communication performance of "Bluetooth" may vary depending on obstructions or radio wave conditions between communication devices, electromagnetic radiation, communication device sensitivity or antenna capacity.

"Bluetooth" audio function

1. The "Bluetooth" built-in radio and display receiver assembly and a "Bluetooth" compatible portable audio player* can be connected using a "Bluetooth" wireless connection. This enables files stored in the portable audio player to be heard from the vehicle speakers. In addition, operations such as play/stop can be performed directly from radio and display receiver assembly.
   *: Some versions of "Bluetooth" compatible audio players may not be able to operate the "Bluetooth" function, or music may play, but functions available using the radio and display receiver assembly may be limited.
   

2. Available "Bluetooth" audio devices
