Using your audio system: some basics
This section describes some of the basic features of the Lexus
audio system. Some information may not pertain to your
system.
Your audio system works when the ignition key is in the ºACCº
or ºONº position.
NOTICE

this knob to adjust the volume.
The system turns on in the last mode used.
SV22003

The selected mode turns on directly.
Push these buttons if you want to switch from one mode to
another.

SV22039
In the ºTAPEº or ºCDº 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 decreasing the volume
of another.
SV22041
Each time you push the ºAUDIO CONTROLº knob, the
display changes as in the following. To adjust the tone
and balance, turn the knob.
BAS: Adjusts low±pitched tones.
MID: Adjusts mid±pitched tones.
TRE: Adjusts high±pitched tones.
FADE: Adjusts the sound balance between the front and rear
speakers.
BAL: Adjusts the sound balance between the right and left
speakers.
