AM·FM radio/cassette player/compact disc

with changer
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 ignition
key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push “PWR·VOL” to turn the audio system
on and off.
Push “AM”, “FM”, “TAPE” or “DISC” to
turn on that function without pushing
“PWR·VOL”.
You can turn on each player by inserting
a cassette tape or compact disc.
You can turn off each player by ejecting
the cassette 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 com-
pact disc. If the another function was pre-
viously playing, it will come on again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push “AM”, “FM”, “TAPE” or “DISC” 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 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
Lowering the antenna
The antenna automatically extends when
the radio is on, and retracts when the
radio mode is off. However, even if you
turn off the radio when the radio on the
rear seat audio system is on, the antenna
does not retract. To lower a power anten-
na, push the “” (down) switch. Also, the
antenna automatically goes down when the
radio mode is switched off to turn on the
cassette tape player or compact disc play-
er, turning off the audio system by push-
ing “PWR·VOL” or turning the ignition key
to “LOCK” position.
Some models also have an antenna
printed on the inside of the right side
quarter window.NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is retracted before
driving your Toyota through an au-
tomatic car wash.
The antenna mast has to be ex-
tended higher than 100 mm (3.94
in.) length when the audio is on.
Extend the antenna mast when the
radio signal is weak.
Putting a window tint (especially,
conductive or meta llic type) on the
right hand rear quarter window may
affect the reception of radio or mo-
bile telephone. For the installation
of the window tint, consult with
your Toyota dealer.
Down Up
Adjusting the power antenna
To adjust the antenna height, push the
switch.
Confirm that no one is close enough to
get pushed before extending the antenna.
Clean the antenna mast periodically with
a clean dry cloth.

To eject one compact disc only: Push and
release the compact disc eject button. If
you hold the button too long (if the audio
system is on at this time, you hear a

the changer. You can also eject any spe-
cific one of the discs loaded in the player
as follows:
1. Push either side of the “ DISC ”

you want to eject is displayed.
2. Push and release the compact disc eject button.

player reaches the end of a tape side, it
automatically reverses and begins to play
the other side. This is true whether the
cassette was playing or fast forwarding.
(Reverse/Fast forward buttons)
Cassette Player

ward a cassette tape. “FF” will appear on

If a tape side rewinds completely, the cas-
sette player will stop and then play that
same side. If a tape fast forwards com-
pletely, the cassette player will play the
other side of the tape, using the auto−re-
verse feature.

through a compact disc track, push and
hold in the fast forward or reverse button.
When you release the button, the compact
disc player will resume playing.

balance or to tune the station manually on
the radio mode.
Tone and sound balance adjustment func-
tion—

−TUNE”
knob, the display changes as in the fol-
lowing. To adjust the tone and balance or

down to another frequency. DISC (Compact Disc) button
Push “DISC” to switch from radio or cas-
sette operation to compact disc operation.
If the audio system is off, you can turn
on the compact disc player by pushing
“DISC”. In both cases, a disc must alrea-
dy be loaded in the player.
When the audio is set into compact disc
operation, the display shows the track or,
track and disc number currently being
played.
If the player or another unit equipped with
the player malfunctions, your audio system
will display one of the three following er-
ror messages.
If “WAIT” appears on the display,
it indi-
cates that the inside of the player unit
may be too hot due to the very high ambi-
ent temperature. Remove the disc from
the player and allow the player to cool
down.
If “ERROR 1” appears on the display,
it indicates the disc is dirty, damaged or
label face down. Clean the disc or insert
it correctly.
If “ERROR 3” or “ERROR 4” appears
on the display, it indicates there is a
trouble inside the system. Eject the disc.
Set the disc again.

mechanism will change to the mode for
loading multiple compact discs. After
pushing the button, insert a compact disc.
At this time, the indicators on both sides
of the slot are flashing. After the disc is

serted. The same process can be applied
for loading the rest of the di scs.
If no compact disc is inserted, the shutter
will close after 15 seconds.
