This section describes some of the basic
features on Toyota audio systems. Some
information may not pertain to your sys-
tem.
Your audio system works when the igni-
tion key is in the ACCº or ONº position.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push PWR/VOLº to turn the audio sys-
tem on and off.
Push AMVFMº or TAPEº or CDº to turn
on that function without pushing PWR/
VOLº.
You can turn on the cassette player or
compact disc player by inserting a cas-
sette tape or a compact disc.
You can turn off the cassette player or
compact disc player by ejecting the cas-
sette tape or compact disc. If the audio
system was previously off, then the entire
audio system will be turned off when you
eject the cassette tape or disc. If another
function was previously playing, it will
come on again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push AM VFMº , TAPEº or CDº if the sys-
tem is already on but you want to switch
from one function to another. TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system's tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of the
treble, midrange, and bass levels. In fact,
different kinds of music and vocal pro-
grams usually sound better with different
mixes of treble, mid-range, and bass.
Balance
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
vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another. YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
To lower a manual antenna, carefully
push
it down.
To lower a power antenna, turn off the au-
dio system by pushing PWR/VOLº, or
turn the ignition key to LOCKº.
On some models, the power antenna au-
tomatically retracts when the radio mode
is switched off to turn on the cassette tape
player or compact disc player.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is retracted before
driving your Toyota through anautomatic car wash.
YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
When you insert a cassette, the exposed
tape should be to the right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the player and do not insert anything other than
cassette tapes into the slot, or thetape player may be damaged.
