Type 3: AMVFM ETR radio/cassette
player/compact disc player This section describes some of the basic
features on Toyota audio systems. Some
information may not pertain to your sys-
tem.
Your audio system works when the igni-
tion key is in the ACCº or ONº position.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push PWR/VOLº to turn the audio sys-
tem on and off.
Push AMV
FMº or TAPEº or CDº to turn
on that function without pushing PWR/
VOLº.
You can turn on the cassette player or
compact disc player by inserting a cas-
sette tape or a compact disc.
You can turn off the cassette player or
compact disc player by ejecting the cas-
sette 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 disc. If another
function was previously playing, it will
come on again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push AM VFMº , TAPEº or CDº if the sys-
tem is already on but you want to switch
from one function to another. TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system's tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of the
treble, midrange, and bass levels. In fact,
different kinds of music and vocal pro-
grams usually sound better with different
mixes of treble, mid-range, and bass.
Balance
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
vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.

Your audio system shows three different
button displays that changes in accor-
dance with the audio mode you have se-
lected.
Radio display (display 1)
Cassette player display (display 2)
Compact disc player display (display 3)
Details of specific buttons, controls, and
featrues are described in the alphabetical
listing that follows. 1 2 3 4 5 6 (Preset buttons)
These buttons are used to preset and
tune in radio stations.
To preset a station to a button: Tune in the
desired station (see TUNEº button).
Push and hold down the button until you
hear a beepÐthis will set the station to the
button. The button number will appear on
the display.
To tune in to a preset station: Push the
button for the station you want. The button
number and station frequency will appear
on the display.
These
systems can store one AM and two
FM stations for each button. (The display
will show AMº, FM1º, or FM2º when you
push AMV FMº.) To cancel out the preset
station memory, push 1º, 2º, and 3º at
the same time and hold them in until you

maining on the current cassette side.
