Type 1-1: AM´FM  ETR radio
Type 1-2: AMVFM ETR radio 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
VVOLº or PWR/VOLº to turn
the audio system on and off. Push AM VFMº or TAPEº  to turn on that
function without pushing PWR VVOLº or
PWR/VOLº.
You can turn on the cassette player by in- serting a cassette tape. 
You can turn off the cassette player by 
ejecting the cassette tape. If the audio 
system was  previously off, then the entire
audio system will be turned off when you eject the cassette tape. If the radio was 
previously on, it will come on again. SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS 
Push AM VFMº or TAPEº  if the system 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 ofyour own system. 
Tone 
How good an audio program sounds to 
you is largely determined by the mix of the
treble, and bass levels. In fact, different 
kinds of m
usic and vocal programs usual-
ly sound better with different mixes of treble 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.
