In the “TAPE” or “CD” mode, the applicable functions are
shown in the lowest part of the display. Push the switch
just below to turn on each function.
(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is largely
determined by the mix of the treble, mid−range, and bass
levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with different mixes of treble, mid−range,
and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of the
front and rear sound levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or
broadcast, changing the right / left balance will increase the
volume of one group of sounds while deceasing the volume of
another.“BASS” knob: Use this knob to adjust low−pitched tones.
“MID” knob: Use this knob to adjust mid−pitched tones.
“TREBLE” knob: Use this knob to adjust high−pitched tones.
“BALANCE” knob: Use this knob to adjust the sound balance
between The right and left speakers.
“FADER” knob: Use this knob to adjust the sound balance
between the front and rear speakers.

108(c) Your radio antenna
The antenna automatically extends when the radio and ignition
are turned on and retracts when either is turned off.
CAUTION
Before extending the antenna, confirm that no one is close
enough to get injured.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is
retracted before driving your vehicle through an
automatic car wash.
(d) Your cassette player
When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should be to the
right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the cassette player, and do not
insert anything except a cassette tape into the slot.
(e) Your automatic changer
If your Lexus is equipped with an automatic changer, it can play
selected discs or continuously play all the discs set in the
magazine.
When you set discs into the magazine, make sure they face the
correct way. If not, the player will display “Err” and the disc
number.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the compact
disc player. Do not insert anything except a compact
disc into the magazine.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Using 8 cm (3.2 in.) discs requires the use of an adaptor, which
could cause tracking errors or interfere with disc ejection.

Radio operation
(a) Listening to the radio
Push these buttons to choose either an AM or FM station.
“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the display.
Push this button on the upper side to step up the station
band or on the lower side to step down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo reception when a
stereo broadcast is received. “ST” appears on the display. If
the signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the amount of
channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating
noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio
switches from stereo to mono reception. In this case, “ST”
disappears from the display.
