Using your audio system—

—Some basics

Reference

This section describes some of the basic

features on Toyota audio systems. Some

information may not pertain to your sys-

tem.

TONE AND BALANCE

For details about your system’s tone and

balance controls, see the description of

your own system.

Your audio system works when the ignition

key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.

Tone

How good an audio program sounds to

you is largely determined by the mix of

the treble, midrange (on some models)

and bass levels. In fact, different kinds of

music and vocal programs usually sound

better with different mixes of treble, mi-

drange and bass.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF

Push “PWR·VOL” to turn the audio system

on and off.

Push “AM”, “FM”, “TAPE” or “DISC” to

turn on that function without pushing

“PWR·VOL”. To turn on the cassette or

compact disc player, a cassette or com-

pact disc must be loaded in the player.

Balance

AM·FM radio/cassette player/compact disc

player (with compact disc changer con-

troller)

A good balance of the left and right stereo

channels and of the front and rear sound

levels is also important.

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.

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.

SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS

Push “AM”, “FM”, “TAPE” or “DISC” if the

system is already on but you want to

switch from one function to another.

YOUR RADIO ANTENNA

YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER

NOTICE

Mast type power antenna—

When you insert a disc, gently push it in

with the label side up. (The player will

automatically eject a disc if the label side

is down.) The player will play from track

1 through the end of the disc. Then it will

play from track 1 again.

z To prevent damage to the antenna,

make sure it is retracted or re-

moved before driving your Toyota

through an automatic car wash.

To lower the power antenna, turn off the

audio system by pushing “PWR·VOL”, or

turn the ignition key to “LOCK”.

The power antenna automatically retracts

when the radio mode is switched off to

turn on the cassette tape player or com-

pact disc player.

z With glass antenna—Attaching the

film (especially conductive or metal-

lic type) on the rear glass will no-

ticeably reduce the sensitivity of

the radio.

NOTICE

Never try to disassemble or oil any

part of the compact disc player. Do

not insert anything other than com-

pact discs into the slot.

Some models also have a glass antenna

printed on the inside of the rear window.

Mast type antenna—

YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER

To remove the antenna, carefully turn it

counterclockwise.

When you insert a cassette, the exposed

tape should face to the right.

The player is intended for use with 12 cm

(4.7 in.) discs only.

Some models also have a glass antenna

printed on the inside of the rear window.

NOTICE

Do not oil any part of the player and

do not insert anything other than cas-

sette tapes into the slot, or the tape

player may be damaged.

hints

TEXT

Here are some common reception prob-

lems that probably do not indicate a prob-

lem with your radio:

NOTICE

This button is used to change the display

for the compact disc that contains text

data.

To ensure correct audio system op-

erations:

FM

z Be careful not to spill beverages

over the audio system.

To change the display, quickly push and

release the “TEXT” button while the com-

pact disc is playing. The display changes

in the order from the elapsed time to disc

title to track title, then back to the

elapsed time.

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.

z The use of a cellular phone inside

or near the vehicle may cause a

noise from the speakers of the au-

dio system which you are listening

to. However, this does not indicate

a malfunction.

If this button is pushed while a compact

disc that does not contain text data is

playing, “NO TITLE” will appear on the

display.

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-

TUNE (Tuning)

does not mean there is a problem with

your radio—it is just the normal result of

conditions outside the vehicle.

Turn the “TUNE” knob clockwise to step

up the frequency. Turn the knob counter-

clockwise to step down the frequency.

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.

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. The farther you are

from a station, the weaker its signal will

be. In addition, reception conditions

change constantly as your vehicle moves.

CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC

PLAYER AND DISCS

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.

constant auto−reversing. They can also

get stuck or tangled in the cassette

player.

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.

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 Bumpy roads or other vibrations may

cause your compact disc player to

skip.

D Do not leave a cassette in the player

if you are not listening to it, especially

if it is hot outside.

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.

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.

D Store cassettes in their cases and out

of direct sunlight.

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.

CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER

AND TAPES

CAUTION

For the best performance for your cas-

sette player and tapes:

Compact disc players use an invisible

laser beam which could cause hazard-

ous radiation exposure if directed

outside the unit. Be sure to operate

the player correctly.

Clean the tape head and other parts regu-

larly.

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.)

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.

To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a

soft, lint−free cloth that has been damp-

ened with water. Wipe in a straight line

from the center 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.

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.)

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.
