This section describes some of the basic
features on Lexus audio/video systems.
Some information may not pertain to your
system.
Your audio/video system works when the
ENGINE START STOPº switch is in the
ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not leave the audio/video
system on longer than necessary
when the engine is not running.
CAUTION
For vehicles sold in U.S.A. and
Canada:
Part 15 of the FCC Rules
FCC Warning:
Any unauthorized changes or
modifications to this equipment
will void the user's authority to op-
erate this device.
Laser products
Do not take this unit apart or at-
tempt to make any changes
yourself. This is an intricate unit
that uses a laser pickup to re-
trieve information from the sur-
face of compact discs. The laser
is carefully shielded so that its
rays remain inside the cabinet.
Therefore, never try to disas-
semble the player or alter any of
its parts since you may be ex-
posed to laser rays and danger-
ous voltages.
This product utilizes a laser. Use
of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures oth-
er than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radi-
ation exposure.

move your finger away from the
screen and then touch it again.
You cannot operate dimmed
touch-screen buttons.

face of the display using a glass

Tone and balance
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
levels of treble, midrange, 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 vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.
