AUDIO
ccvi(c) Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL)
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, “ASL”
appears on the display.
(d) Your radio antennas
The wire antenna is mounted inside the rear window.
NOTICE
 When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be
careful not to scratch or damage the wire antenna.
 Putting a film (especially, a conductive or metallic
film) on the rear window may affect the reception of
radio or mobile telephone. For the installation of the
window tint, consult with your Lexus dealer.
(e) Your cassette player
When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should face to
the right.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the cassette
player. Do not insert anything other than cassette tapes
into the slot.
(f) Your CD player
When you insert a CD, gently push it in with the label face up.
The player will play from track 1 through to the end of the CD.
Then it will play from track 1 again. On models with the CD
changer, next CD will be played from track 1.
NOTICE
 Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the CD
player. Do not insert anything other than CDs into the
slot.
 Do not insert a CD upon another one.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) CDs only.

AUDIO
ccxxFM
Fading
and drifting stations — Generally, the effective range
of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the distance
from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by
distortion.
Multipath — FM signals are reflective, making it possible for
two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a
momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering — These occur when signals are
blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing
the bass level may reduce static and fluttering.
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 dif ficult
to hear the broadcast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension power lines, l ightening, or electrical
motors. This results in static.
Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For the best performance for your cassette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
 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.)
