Station swapping - If the FM signal you are listening to is interrupted or weakened, and there is another strong station nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second station until the original signal can be picked up again. AM Fading - AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper atmosphere - especially at night. These reflected signals can interfere with those received directly from the radio station, causing the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak. Station interference - When a reflected signal and a signal received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same frequency, they can interfere with each other, making it difficult to hear the broadcast. Static - AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical motors. This results in static. Caring for your cassette player and tapes For high performance from your cassette player and tapes: Clean the tape head and other parts regularly. D A dirty tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet type is recommended.) Use high-quality cassettes: D Low-quality cassette tapes can cause many problems, including poor sound, inconsistent playing speed, and constant auto-reversing. They can also get stuck or tangled in the cassette player. D Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or tangled or if its label is peeling off. D Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening to it, especially if it is hot outside. D Store cassettes in their cases and out of direct sunlight. D Avoid using cassettes with a total playing time longer than 100 minutes (50 minutes per side). The tape used in these cassettes is thin and could get stuck or tangled in the cassette player. Caring for your DVD player and discs D The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only. D Extremely high temperature can keep your DVD player from working. On hot days, use air conditioning to cool the vehicle interior before you listen to a disc. D Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your multi-disc player skip. D If moisture gets into your DVD player, you may not hear any sound even though your DVD player appears to be working. Remove the magazine from the player and wait until it dries. CAUTION DVD players use an invisible laser beam which could cause hazardous radiation exposure if directed outside the unit. Be sure to operate the player correctly. 147 2003 Land Cruiser 100 Navigation (OM60A00U)
