11 0(b) Presetting a station
1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Push one of the station selector buttons (1±6) and
hold it until a beep is heard. This sets the station to the
button and the button number (1±6) appears on the
display.
Each button can store one AM station and two FM stations.
To change the preset station to a different one, follow the
same procedure.
The preset station memory is cancelled when the power
source is interrupted by battery disconnection or a blown
fuse.(c) Selecting a station
Your Lexus has an electronic tuning radio (ETR). Tune in the
desired station using one of the following methods.
Preset tuning: Push the button (1±6) for the station you
want. The button number (1±6) and station frequency
appear on the display.
Manual tuning: Push the ªTUNE SEEKº button briefly.
Each time you push the button, the radio will step up or down
to another frequency.
Seek tuning: Push the ªTUNE SEEKº button and hold it until
you hear a beep. The radio will begin seeking up or down for
a station of the nearest frequency and will stop on reception.
Each time you push the button, the stations will be searched
out one after another.

120(h) If the player malfunctions
If ªWAITº appears on the display, audio signals of the disc
cannot be read or the system has trouble. Push the ªCDº
button once again.
If the player does not operate, check that the disc surface is
not soiled or damaged. If the disc is O.K., the following two
causes are possible.
Condensation may have occurred on the internal
mechanism of the automatic changer. Open the cover to
let the air circulate.
The temperature of the player's internal mechanism is
raised because of high external temperature. Remove the
magazine from the player to cool it.
If the player still does not operate, take it to your Lexus
dealer.
Car audio system operating hints
Radio reception
Usually, the problem with radio reception does not mean
there is a problem with your radio ± it is just the normal result
of conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with
FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere
with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited
range, and the farther you are from a station, the weaker its
signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change
constantly as your vehicle moves.Here are some common reception problems that probably
do not indicate a problem with your radio.
FM
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.
Multi±path ± 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 difficult to hear the broadcast.
