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 igni-
tion key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push “PWR/VOL” to turn the audio sys-
tem on and off.
Push “AM
⋅
FM” or “TAPE” or “CD” to turn
on that function without pushing “PWR/
VOL”.
You can turn on the cassette player by in-
serting a cassette tape.
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.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push “AM
⋅
FM”, “TAPE” or “CD” if the sys-
tem is already on but you want to switch
from one function to another.
TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Tone
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
mixes of treble, mid-range, 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 another.
