ler 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 ignition
key is in the ºACCº or ºONº position.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push PWR/VOLº and ºVOL/PWRº to turn
the audio system on and off.
Push AMº, FMº, ºAM
F Mº, ºTAPEº or
CDº to turn on that function without push-
ing PWR/VOLº and ºVOL/PWRº.
You can turn on each player by inserting
a cassette tape or compact disc.
You can turn off each player by ejecting
the cassette 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 com-
pact disc. If the another function was pre-
viously playing, it will come on again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push AMº, FMº, ºAM
F Mº, ºTAPEº or
CDº if the system is already on but you
want to switch from one function to the
other. 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 and bass levels. In fact, differ-
ent kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with different mixes
of treble 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.
