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 adjusts to the optimum volume and tone
quality automatically. While the system is adjusting the audio
sound, the audio sound fades out and then fades in.
Your audio system works when the ignition switch is in the
ACCº or ONº 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.

AUDIO
214(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 the MUTEº button to decrease the volume
momentarily.
To return to its original volume, push the same button again.
When the audio system is turned on, the mute is always off
regardless of the previous mode.

AUDIO
215
Push the AMº, FMº, TAPEº or DISCº button 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 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 compact disc. If the another function was
previously playing, it will come on again.In the TAPEº or CDº 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.

AUDIO
216Keep 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 decreasing the volume
of another.
Each time you push the AUDIO CONTROLº knob, the
display changes as in the following. To adjust the tone and
balance, turn the knob.
BAS: Adjusts low-pitched tones.
MID: Adjusts mid-pitched tones.
TRE: Adjusts high-pitched tones.
FAD: Adjusts the sound balance between the front and rear
speakers.
BAL: Adjusts the sound balance between the right and left
speakers.(c) Automatic sound levelizer
When the audio sound becomes difficult to be heard due to
road noise, wind noise, etc. during driving, the system adjusts
to the optimum volume and tone quality according to the noise
level. While the automatic sound levelizer is on, ASLº appears
on the display.
(d) Your radio antennas
The wire antenna is mounted inside the rear window.
