TAPE

Here are some common reception prob-

lems that probably do not indicate a prob-

lem with your radio:

NOTICE

Push “TAPE” to switch from radio or com-

pact disc operation to cassette operation.

If the audio system is off, you can turn

on the cassette player by pushing “TAPE”.

In both cases, a cassette must already be

loaded in the player.

To ensure the correct audio system

operation:

z Be careful not to spill beverages

over the audio system.

Fading and drifting stations—Generally, the

effective range of FM is about 40 km (25

miles). Once outside this range, you may

notice fading and drifting, which increase

with the distance from the radio transmit-

ter. They are often accompanied by distor-

tion.

z Do not put anything other than a

cassette tape or Compact Disc into

the slot.

TRACK

By using this button, you can skip up or

down to a different track.

RADIO RECEPTION

Multi−path—FM signals are reflective,

making it possible for two signals to reach

your antenna at the same time. If this

happens, the signals will cancel each oth-

Push either side of the track button until

the number of the track you want to listen

to appears on the display. If you want to

return the beginning of the current track,

push the down side of the button one

time, quickly.

er out, causing

loss of reception.

momentary flutter or

For example, nearby buildings and terrain

can interfere with FM reception. Power

lines or telephone wires can interfere with

AM signals. And of course, radio signals

have a limited range, and the farther you

are from a station, the weaker its signal

will be. In addition, reception conditions

change constantly as your vehicle moves.

Static and fluttering—These occur when

signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or

other large objects. Increasing the bass

level may reduce static and fluttering.

TUNE (Tuning)

Your Toyota has an electronic tuning radio

(ETR). Push and release the “∧” (up) or

“∨” (down) side of “TUNE” to step up or

Station swapping—If the FM signal you

are listening to is interrupted or weak-

ened, and there is another strong station

nearby on the FM band, your radio may

tune in the second station until the origi-

nal signal can be picked up again.

down the station band. (If you hear

beep, you held the button too long and

the radio will go into the seek mode.)

CELICA

Use high−quality cassettes.

Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by

the upper atmosphere—especially at night.

These reflected signals can interfere with

those received directly from the radio sta-

tion, causing the radio station to sound

alternately strong and weak.

D Low−quality cassette tapes can cause

many problems, including poor sound,

inconsistent

playing

speed,

and

constant auto−reversing. They can also

get stuck or tangled in the cassette

player.

Station interference—When a reflected sig-

nal and a signal received directly from a

radio station are very nearly the same

frequency, they can interfere with each

other, making it difficult to hear the broad-

cast.

D Do not use a cassette if it has been

damaged or tangled or if its label is

peeling off.

D Do not leave a cassette in the player

if you are not listening to it, especially

if it is hot outside.

Static—AM is easily affected by external

sources of electrical noise, such as high

tension power lines, lightening, or electri-

cal motors. This results in static.

CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC

PLAYER AND DISCS

D Store cassettes in their cases and out

of direct sunlight.

D Use only compact discs labeled as

D Avoid using cassettes with a total play-

ing time longer than 100 minutes (50

minutes per side). The tape used in

these cassettes is thin and could get

stuck or tangled in the cassette player.

shown.

CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER

AND TAPES

D Extremely high temperatures can keep

your compact disc player from working.

On hot days, use the air conditioning

to cool the vehicle interior before you

listen to a disc.

For high performance from your cassette

player and tapes:

Clean the tape head and other parts regu-

larly.

D Bumpy roads or other vibrations may

make your compact disc player skip.

D A dirty tape head or tape path can

decrease sound quality and tangle your

cassette tapes. The easiest way to

clean them is by using a cleaning tape.

(A wet type is recommended.)

CELICA

D If moisture gets into your compact disc

player, you may not hear any sound

even though your compact disc player

appears to be working. Remove the

disc from the player and wait until it

dries.

CAUTION

Compact disc players use invisible la-

ser beam which could cause hazard-

ous radiation exposure if directed

outside the unit. Be sure to operate

the player correctly as instructed.

D Handle compact discs carefully, espe-

cially 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 Dirt, scrapes, 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.)

A new disc may have rough edges on

its inner and outer perimeter. Remove

the rough edges by pressing the side

of a ball−point pen or pencil against

the inner and outer perimeter of the

disc as shown.

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.

If you continue to play a disc with rough

edges, flakes will fall on to the signal side

of the disc and cause sound skipping or
