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·FM”, ”TAPE” or ”CD” to turn on
that function without pushing ”PWR·VOL”.
You can turn on each player by inserting
a cassette tape or compact disc.
You can turn off each player by ejecting
the cassette tape or compact disc. If the
audio system was previously off, then the
entire audio system will be turned off
when you eject the cassette tape or com-
pact disc. If the another function was pre-
viously 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
programs usually sound better with differ-
ent 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 another.
YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Lowering the antenna
To lower a power antenna, push the ” ”
(down) switch. Also, the antenna automati-
cally goes down when the radio mode is
switched off to turn on the cassette tape
player or compact disc player, turning off
the audio system by pushing ”PWR·VOL”
or turning the ignition key to ”LOCK” posi-
tion.
Some models also have an antenna
printed on the inside of the right side
quarter window.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is retracted before
driving your Toyota through an au-
tomatic car wash.
On models with glass antenna, at-
taching the film (especially conduc-
tive or metallic type) on the right
side quarter window will noticeably
reduce the sensitivity of the radio.
