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 works when the ignition key is in the ºACCº
or ºONº position.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the car audio on longer than necessary when theengine is not running.
(a) Turning the system on and off
SV22050
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.
SV22051
Push ºAMº, ºFMº, ºT APEº or ºDISCº 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 the cassette player by ejecting the cassette
tape. If the audio system was previously off, then the entire
audio system will be turned off when you eject the cassette
tape. If another function was previously playing, it will come on
again.

SV22039
In the ºTAPEº or ºCDº 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.
Keep 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.
SV22041
Each time you push the ºAUDIO 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.
FADE: Adjusts the sound balance between the front and rear
speakers.
BAL: Adjusts the sound balance between the right and left
speakers.

AUDIO

NOTICE

removed before driving your vehicle through anautomatic car wash.
(d) Your cassette player

right.

(e) Your automatic changer (Type A only)
SV22052

Radio operation
(a) Listening to the radio
SV22051
Push these buttons to choose either an AM or FM station.
ºAMº, ºFM1º or ºFM2º appears on the display.
SV22037
Turn the knob clockwise to step up the frequency. Turn
the knob counterclockwise to step down the frequency.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo reception when a
stereo broadcast is received. ºSTº appears on the display. If
the signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the amount of
channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating
noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio
switches from stereo to mono reception. In this case, ºSTº
disappears from the display.
