SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

CD (Compact Disc) PLAYER OUTLINE

(a) 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:

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

(b) 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:

NOTICE:

Copy-protected CDs cannot be played.
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.
Unfinalized CD-Rs and CD-RWs cannot be played.
DualDiscs that combine 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 discs or leave your 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 discs have adhesive tape, stickers, disc labels or any traces of such labels attached, the discs 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.
Use only 4.7 in. (12 cm) discs.
Do not use 3 in. (8 cm) discs either with or without adaptors.

HINT:

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

(d) 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:

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.

*e	"Bluetooth" Wireless Connection	-	-

(a) "Bluetooth" is a trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc.

(b) "Bluetooth" is a wireless connection technology that uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

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.

(1) The "Bluetooth" built-in radio receiver assembly and a "Bluetooth" compatible cellular phone* can be connected using a "Bluetooth" wireless connection. This enables the use of the hands-free function on the cellular phone even if the phone is in a pocket or bag. For this reason, it is not necessary to use a connector or cable to connect the cellular phone.

*: Some versions of "Bluetooth" compatible cellular phones may not function properly.

(2) The hands-free function uses a "Bluetooth" wireless connection. A "Bluetooth" wireless connection can be affected by uncertain elements, such as vehicle location, time of day, etc. Therefore, problems related to establishing connection may be caused temporarily by "Bluetooth" connection conditions. It is necessary to check the frequency of occurrence, connection conditions using another cellular phone, etc. when performing diagnosis.

(3) Compatible hands-free devices

Required "Bluetooth" specifications	Ver. 1.1 or higher (Ver. 2.1+EDR recommended)
Compatible profiles	HFP (Hands Free Profile) Ver. 1.0 or higher (Ver. 1.5 or higher recommended)* OPP (Object Push Profile) Ver. 1.1 PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile) Ver. 1.0
Maximum number of hands-free devices that can be registered (including audio devices)	5

*: This profile is necessary when using the hands-free function.

(d) "Bluetooth" audio function

(1) The "Bluetooth" built-in radio 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 the radio receiver assembly.

*: Some versions of "Bluetooth" compatible audio players may not be able to be connected via the "Bluetooth" function, or music may play, but functions available using the radio receiver assembly may be limited.

(2) Compatible "Bluetooth" audio devices

Required "Bluetooth" specifications	Ver. 1.1 or higher (Ver. 2.1+EDR recommended)

RADIO DESCRIPTION

(a) Radio frequency band

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

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

*a	FM (Stereo)
*b	FM (Monaural)
*c	AM

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 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.

Fade Out

(d) 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
