AUDIO SYSTEM

Audio system—

—Basic operation

This Section describes some of the basic fea-

tures on Toyota audio systems. Some in-

formation may not pertain to your system.

SRS

r

The audio systems utilise SRS FOCUSr and

SRS TruBassr audio enhancement technol-

ogies, under licence from SRS Labs, Inc., in

all modes except AM radio mode.

Your audio system works when the ignition

switch is set to ACC or ON.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF

FOCUS, TruBass, SRS and

symbol are

Press “POWER VOLUME” [1] to turn the

audio system on and off.

trademarks of SRS Labs, Inc. FOCUS and

TruBass technologies are incorporated under

licence from SRS Labs, Inc.

Press “AM”, “FM1”, “FM2” [3] or “DISC” [4]

to turn on that function without pressing

“POWER VOLUME” knob.

Tone

How good an audio program sounds to you

is largely determined by the mix of the treble

and bass levels. In fact, different kinds of

music and vocal programs usually sound

better with different mixes of treble and bass.

You can turn on the compact disc player by

inserting a compact disc.

You can turn off the compact disc player by

ejecting the compact disc. If the audio sys-

tem was previously off, then the entire audio

system will be turned off when you eject the

compact disc. If another function was previ-

ously playing, it will come on again.

You can adjust sound characteristics. Differ-

ent sound characteristics can be recorded for

each audio source.

Balance

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

A good balance of the left and right stereo

channels and of the front and rear sound le-

vels is also important.

Turn the “POWER VOLUME” [1] to increase

or decrease the volume.

Speed automatic sound leveliser (ASL)

system

Keep in mind that if you are listening to a ste-

reo recording or broadcast, changing the

right/left balance will increase the volume of

one group of sounds while decreasing the

volume of another.

The ASL system automatically adjusts the

volume and tone in accordance with vehicle

speed. This helps ensure an optimal listening

experience if noise levels rise during driving.

RADIO ANTENNA

Press “AUDIO CTRL” [2] to select ASL. The

automatic sound leveliser can be turned on

and selected LOW, MID or HIGH by turning

the knob.

Your vehicle has an antenna printed on the

inside of the rear window.

NOTICE

SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS

Applying a film (especially a conductive

or metallic film) on the rear window will

noticeably reduce the sensitivity of the

radio.

Press “AM”, “FM1”, “FM2” [3], “DISC” [4] if

the system is already on but you want to

switch from one function to another.

TONE AND BALANCE

COMPACT DISC PLAYER

Press “AUDIO CTRL” [2] repeatedly until

“TRE” (treble) or “BAS” (bass) appears on the

display. Turn the knob clockwise to increase

or anti-clockwise to decrease the tone.

When you insert a disc, gently push it in with

the label side up. The compact disc player

140

AUDIO SYSTEM

will play from track 1 through to the end of

the disc. Then it will play from track 1 again.

NOTICE

Never try to disassemble or oil any part

of the compact disc player. Do not insert

anything other than compact discs into

the slot.

8 cm (3 in) compact disc singles

The type 1 compact disc player does not

need an adaptor to play compact disc

singles. Compact disc singles are about 8 cm

(3 in) in diameter—smaller than standard

discs. These discs must not be played in type

2 players.

NOTICE

D Do not stack up two discs for inser-

tion, or it will cause damage to the

compact disc player with changer. In-

sert only one compact disc into slot

at a time.

NOTICE

Do not use an adaptor for compact disc

singles—it could cause tracking errors

or interfere with the ejection of compact

discs.

D Never try to disassemble or oil any

part of the compact disc player. Do

not insert anything except a compact

disc into the slot.

COMPACT DISC PLAYER WITH CHANGER

(TYPE 2)

TERMS

When you insert a disc, press the “LOAD”

[18] button and gently push the disc in with

the label side up. The player with changer will

play from track 1 through to the end of the

disc. Then it will play from track 1 of the next

disc.

Packet write—

This is a general term that describes the pro-

cess of writing data on-demand to CD-R, etc.,

in the same way that data is written to floppy

or hard discs.

ID3 Tag—

The player with changer is intended for use

with 12 cm (4.7 in) discs only.

This is a method of embedding track-related

information in an MP3 file. This embedded

information can include the track title, the ar-

tist’s name, the album title, the music genre,

the year of production, comments and other

data. The contents can be freely edited using

software with ID3 tag editing functions. Al-

though the tags are restricted to the number

of characters, the information can be viewed

when the track is played back.

141

AUDIO SYSTEM

—Radio operation

WMA Tag—

For information on the general features of

your audio system see “Audio system--Basic

operation” on page 140 of this Section.

WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is

used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA

tags carry information such as track title, ar-

tist name.

TURNING ON THE RADIO

The radio is turned on using the band selec-

tion buttons “AM” “FM1”, “FM2” [3]. The radio

will tune to the band selected.

ISO 9660 format—

This is the international standard for the for-

matting of CD-ROM folders and files. For the

ISO 9660 format, there are two levels of regu-

lations.

TURNING OFF THE RADIO

Press the “POWER VOLUME” knob [1] to

turn the radio OFF, or press the “DISC” button

[4] to switch to those functions.

Level 1:

The file name is in 8.3 format (8 character

file names, with a 3 character file extension.

File names must be composed of one-byte

capital letters and numbers. The “_” symbol

may also be included.)

SELECTING THE BAND

Press the band selection buttons “AM”,

“FM1”, “FM2” [3] to switch between bands.

The “FM” band has two preset memory

groups “FM1” or “FM2”. Press the appropri-

ate band selection button for the desired

band.

Level 2:

The file name can have up to 31 characters

(including the separation mark “.” and file ex-

tension). Each folder must contain fewer than

8 hierarchies.

For more information on preset radio sta-

tions, see “PRESETTING STATIONS” on

page 143 of this Section.

m3u—

SELECTING A RADIO STATION

Manual tuning

Playlists created using “WINAMP” software

have a playlist file extension (.m3u).

Turn “TUNE” [2] clockwise to locate higher

frequency stations and counterclockwise for

lower frequency stations.

MP3—

MP3 is an audio compression standard deter-

mined by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO

(International Standard Organisation). MP3

compresses audio data to about 1/10 the size

of that on conventional discs.

Automatic tuning

Press and hold “SEEK TRACK ” [11] until

you hear a beep to increase the frequency.

The radio will search and stop when it finds

a station.

WMA—

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio

compression format developed by Microsoft.

It compresses files into a size smaller than

that of MP3 files. The decoding formats for

WMA files are Ver. 7, 8, and 9.

Press and hold “SEEK TRACK ” [11] until

you hear a beep to decrease the frequency.

The radio will search and stop when it finds

a station.

If a station is programmed to a preset button,

the display will indicate the preset button

number.

NOTICE

CAUTION

To ensure correct audio system oper-

ations:

Compact disc players use an invisible

laser beam which could emit hazardous

radiation exposure if directed outside

the unit by incorrect operation or un-

authorised repair. Be sure to operate the

player correctly.

D Be careful not to spill beverages over

the audio system.

D Do not put anything other than a com-

pact disc into the slot.

D The use of a cellular phone inside or

near the vehicle may cause a noise

from the speakers of the audio system

which you are listening to. However,

this does not indicate a malfunction.

RADIO RECEPTION

FM broadcasts have a range of about 40 km.

When driving away from a station you may

have to fine-tune your radio and turn up the

volume as the station gets weaker. Because

FM uses a line-of-sight signal, tall buildings

or hills may sometimes block reception.

These are all normal characteristics of FM

reception and do not indicate any problem

with the radio itself.

D Use only compact discs marked as shown

above. The following products may not be

playable on your compact disc player.

NOTICE

Do not use special shaped, transparent/

translucent, low quality or labelled

discs such as those shown in the il-

lustrations. The use of such discs may

damage the player or changer, or it may

be impossible to eject the disc.

To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a soft,

lint-free cloth that has been dampened with

water. Wipe in a straight line from the centre

to the edge of the disc (not in circles). Dry

it with another soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use

a conventional record cleaner or anti-static

device.

MP3/WMA FILES

D MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA

(Windows Media Audio) are audio com-

pression standards.

D Handle compact discs carefully, especial-

ly when you are inserting them. Hold them

on the edge and do not bend them. Avoid

getting fingerprints on them, particularly

on the shiny side.

D The MP3/WMA player can play MP3 and

WMA files on CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-

RW discs.

The unit can play disc recordings com-

patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level

2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file

system.

D Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or

other disc damage could cause the player

to skip or to repeat a Section of a track.

(To see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the

light.)

D When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add

the appropriate file extension (.mp3 or

.wma).

D Remove discs from the compact disc

player when you are not listening to them.

Store them in their plastic cases away

from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

D The MP3/WMA player plays back files

with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as MP3

or WMA files. To prevent noise and play-

back errors, use the appropriate file ex-

tensions.

D Multi-session compatible CDs can also be

played.

AUDIO SYSTEM

D MP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag

Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2, and Ver. 2.3

formats. The unit cannot display disc title,

track title and artist name in other for-

mats.

D When playing back files recorded as VBR

(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will

not be correctly displayed if fast forward

or reverse operations are used.

D It is not possible to check folders that do

D WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is

used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA

tags carry information such as track title,

artist name.

not include MP3/WMA files.

D MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 levels

deep can be played. However, the start

of playback may be delayed when using

discs containing numerous levels of fold-

ers. For this reason, we recommend

creating discs with no more than two le-

vels of folders.

D The emphasis function is available only

when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at

32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. (The system can

play MP3 files with sampling frequencies

of 16, 22.05, and 24 kHz. However, the

emphasis function is not available for files

recorded at these frequencies.)

D It is possible to play up to 192 folders or

255 files on one disc.

D The sound quality of MP3/WMA files gen-

erally improves with higher bit rates. In

order to achieve a reasonable level of

sound quality, discs recorded with a bit

rate of at least 128 kbps are recom-

mended.
