Using your audio system: some basics
This section describes some of the basic features of the Lexus
audio system. Some information may not pertain to your
system.
Your audio system works when the ignition key is in the “ACC”
or “ON” position.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the car audio on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.
(a) Turning the system on and off
Push this knob to turn the audio system on and off. Turn
this knob to adjust the volume.
The system turns on in the last, mode used.
Push “AM”, “FM1 / 2”, “TAPE” or “CD” to turn on that
mode. The selected mode turns on directly.
Push these buttons if you want to switch from one mode to
another.
If the tape or disc is not set, the cassette player or compact disc
player does not turn on.
You can turn off the cassette player by ejecting the cassette
tape. If the audio system was previously off, then the entire
audio system will be turned off when you eject the cassette
tape. If another function was previously playing, it will come on
again.

In the “TAPE” or “CD” mode, the applicable functions are
shown in the lowest part of the display. Push the switch
just below to turn on each function.
(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is largely
determined by the mix of the treble, mid−range, and bass
levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with different mixes of treble, mid−range,
and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of the
front and rear sound levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or
broadcast, changing the right / left balance will increase the
volume of one group of sounds while deceasing the volume of
another.“BASS” knob: Use this knob to adjust low−pitched tones.
“MID” knob: Use this knob to adjust mid−pitched tones.
“TREBLE” knob: Use this knob to adjust high−pitched tones.
“BALANCE” knob: Use this knob to adjust the sound balance
between The right and left speakers.
“FADER” knob: Use this knob to adjust the sound balance
between the front and rear speakers.

108(c) Your radio antenna
The antenna automatically extends when the radio and ignition
are turned on and retracts when either is turned off.
CAUTION
Before extending the antenna, confirm that no one is close
enough to get injured.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is
retracted before driving your vehicle through an
automatic car wash.
(d) Your cassette player
When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should be to the
right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the cassette player, and do not
insert anything except a cassette tape into the slot.
(e) Your automatic changer
If your Lexus is equipped with an automatic changer, it can play
selected discs or continuously play all the discs set in the
magazine.
When you set discs into the magazine, make sure they face the
correct way. If not, the player will display “Err” and the disc
number.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the compact
disc player. Do not insert anything except a compact
disc into the magazine.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Using 8 cm (3.2 in.) discs requires the use of an adaptor, which
could cause tracking errors or interfere with disc ejection.

Radio operation
(a) Listening to the radio
Push these buttons to choose either an AM or FM station.
“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the display.
Push this button on the upper side to step up the station
band or on the lower side to step down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo reception when a
stereo broadcast is received. “ST” appears on the display. If
the signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the amount of
channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating
noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio
switches from stereo to mono reception. In this case, “ST”
disappears from the display.
