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
programs usually sound better with differ-
ent mixes of treble, midrange, 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 RADIO ANTENNA

audio system by pushing PWR´VOLº or
PWR/VOLº, or turn the ignition key to
LOCKº.

cassette tape player.
NOTICE

make sure it is retracted before driv-
ing your Toyota through an automatic
car wash. On vehicles with detachable
antenna, remove the antenna before
using an automatic car wash.
