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

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

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

singles—it could cause tracking errors

or interfere with the ejection of compact

discs.

[18] button and gently push the disc in with

the label side up. The player with changer will

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.

tags carry information such as track title, ar-

tist name.

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

will tune to the band selected.
