RADIO ANTENNA  
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS  
If the system is already on, but you want to switch to  
another function, press the "AM/FM", "AM", "FM", "TAPE/  
DISC" or "DISC" button.  
Your vehicle is equipped with an antenna printed on the  
inside of the rear window (sedan and liftback) or the rear  
side window (station wagon).  
NOTICE  
Attaching foil (especially the conductive or metal  
type) to the rear window noticeably reduces the  
sensitivity of the radio.  
TONES AND BALANCE  
For details on tone control and balance, refer to the  
description of the audio system equipped with your  
vehicle.  
CASSETTE PLAYER (Type 1)  
Tones  
When inserting the cartridge, the strip on the right should  
be exposed.  
The output quality of the audio system is determined by  
the treble and bass level settings. In fact, different  
types of music and vocal programs usually sound better  
with different treble and bass settings.  
NOTICE  
Do not lubricate any parts of the player or insert  
any objects other than cartridges into the cartridge  
slot, as this may damage the player.  
Balancing  
Correct balance of left and right stereo channels and  
front and rear sound levels is also important.  
COMPACT DISC PLAYER (type 1 and type 2)  
Note that when listening to a stereo recording or  
broadcast, changing the balance between the left and  
right channels will increase the volume of one group of  
sounds while decreasing the volume of another group of  
sounds.  
When inserting a disc, gently push it with the printed  
side up. The CD player will start playing from track 1 to  
the last track at the end of the disc. Then track 1 will  
start playing again.  
NOTICE  
Never attempt to disassemble or tamper with any  
parts of the player. Do not insert any objects other  
than compact discs into the disc slot.  
The player is designed to use compact discs with a  
diameter of 12 cm only.
