This
section describes some of the basic fea-
tures of the 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
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the car audioon longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.
POWER-VOL: Push this knob to turn the
audio system on and off. Turn this knob to
adjust the volume. The system turns on in
the last mode used.
AUDIO: Push this button to display switches
for audio system.
UNC608
Push the ºAMº, ºFMº, ºTAPEº or ºDISCº
button to turn on that mode. The selected
mode turns on directly.
Push th ese buttons if you want to switch from
one mode to another.
If the tape or disc is not set, the cassette play-
er or compact disc player does not turn on.
You can turn off the cassette player by eject-
ing the cassette tape. If the audio system
was previously off, then the entire audio sys-
tem will be turned off when you eject the cas-
sette tape. If another function was previously
playing, it will come on again.

The switches for radio, cassette tape and
disc player operation are displayed on
the liquid crystal display. Touch them
lightly and directly on the screen.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 lev-
els is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a ste-
reo recording or broadcast, changing the
right/left balance will increase the volume of
one group of sounds while decreasing the
volume of another.
