SECTION 1 8

’06 Rav4_U (L/O 0601)
171
2005 RAV4 from Jan. ’06 Prod. (OM42620U)
This section describes some of the basic
features on Toyota audio systems. Some
information may not pertain to your sys-
tem.
Your audio system works when the ignition
key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push “PWR·VOL” to turn the audio system
on and off.
Push “AM”, “FM1”, “FM2” or “DISC·AUX”
to turn on that function without pushing
“PWR·VOL”. To turn on the compact disc
player, a compact disc must be loaded in
the player.
You can turn on compact disc player by
inserting a compact disc.
You can turn off the compact disc player
by ejecting the compact disc. If the audio
system was previously off, then the entire
audio system will be turned off when you
eject the compact disc. If other function
was previously playing, it will come on
again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push “AM”, “FM1”, “FM2” or “DISC·AUX” if
the system is already on but you want to
switch from one function to other.TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
SRS

Type 1 and 2 −1 audio systems utilize SRS
FOCUS  and SRS TruBass  audio
enhancement technologies, under license
from SRS Labs, Inc., in all mode except
AM radio mode.
FOCUS , TruB as s , SRS andsymbol are trademarks of
S RS Labs , Inc .
FOCUS and TruBass technologies are incorporated under

Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange (type 2 −2) and bass
levels. In fact, different kinds of music
and vocal programs usually sound better
with different mixes of treble, midrange
and bass. Balance
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 other.
YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Your vehicle has a mast type antenna.
To remove the antenna, carefully turn it
counterclockwise.NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is removed before driv-
ing your Toyota through an automatic
car wash.
