Audio System (h) If the player malfunctions If "WAIT" appears on the screen, audio signals of the disc cannot be read or the system has trouble. Push the "CD" button once again. If the player does not operate, check that the disc surface is not soiled or damaged. If the disc is O.K., the following two causes are possible. D Condensation may have occurred on the internal mechanism of the automatic changer. Open the cover to let the air circulate. D The temperature of the player's internal mechanism is raised because of high external temperature. Remove the magazine from the player to cool it. If the player still does not operate, take it to your Lexus dealer. Car audio system operating hints NOTICE To ensure correct audio system operations: D Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio system. D Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or CD magazine into the cassette tape slot or CD changer. D The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehicle may cause a noise from the speakers of the audio system which you are listening to. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. Radio reception Usually, the problem with radio reception does not mean there is a problem with your radio - it is just the normal result of conditions outside the vehicle. For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited range, and the farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly as your vehicle moves. Here are some common reception problems that probably do not indicate a problem with your radio: FM Fading and drifting stations - Generally, the effective range of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the distance from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by distortion. Multi-path - FM signals are reflective, making it possible for two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of reception. Static and fluttering - These occur when signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing the bass level may reduce static and fluttering. 2002 MY RX300 EMV_U (OM48440U) FROM JAN 10, 2002 beginning frame numbers: MCU10-0130376 and MCU15-0258831 111

NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system opera-
tions:
D
Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
D
Do not put anything other than a cas-
sette tape or CD magazine into the
cassette tape slot or CD changer.
D
The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio
system which you are listening to.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
Radio reception
Usually, the problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with your
radio – it is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception.
Power lines
or telephone wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals.
And of course, radio signals have a lim-
ited range, and the farther you are from a sta-
tion, the weaker its signal will be.
In addition,
reception conditions change constantly as
your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception problems
that probably do not indicate a problem with
your radio:
FM
Fading and drifting stations
– Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 40 km (25
miles).
Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter.
They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi–path
– FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for two signals to reach your
antenna at the same time.
If this happens,
the signals will cancel each other out, caus-
ing a momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering
– These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects.
Increasing the bass lev-
el may reduce static and fluttering.
