Push ºTAPEº to switch from radio or
compact disc operation to cassette op-
eration. If the audio system is off, you
can turn on the cassette player by

to listen to appears on the display. If
you want to return the beginning of
the current track, push the down side
of the button one time, quickly.
TUNE (Tuning)
Your Toyota has an electronic tuning
radio (ETR). Push and release the º ~º
(up) or º !º (down) side of ºTUNEº to
step up or down the station band. (If
you hear a beep, you held the button
too long and the radio will go into the
seek mode.)
NOTICE
To ensure the correct audio sys-
tem operation:
Be careful not to spill bever-ages over the audio system.
Do not put anything other thana cassette tape or Compact
Disc into the slot.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio recep-
tion does not mean there is a problem
with your radio Ðit is just the normal
result of conditions outside the ve-
hicle.
For example, nearby buildings and ter-
rain 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 stationsÐGeneral-
ly, 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 dis-
tance from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi- pathÐFM 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 flutteringÐThese occur
when signals are blocked by buildings,
trees, or other large objects. Increas-
ing the bass level may reduce static
and fluttering.
Station swappingÐIf 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.
