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 adjusts to the optimum volume and tone
quality automatically. While the system is adjusting the audio
sound, the audio sound fades out and then fades in.
Your audio system works when the ignition switch is in the
“ACC” or “ON” position.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the audio system on longer than necessary when
the engine is not running.
(a) Turning the system on and off
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
235
Push the “AM”, “FM”, “TAPE” or “DISC” button to turn on
that mode. The selected mode turns on directly.
Push these buttons if you want to switch from one mode to
another.
If the tape or CD is not set, the cassette player or CD player
does not turn on.
You can turn off each player by ejecting the cassette tape or
CD. If the audio system was previously off, then the entire
audio system will be turned off when you eject the cassette
tape or CD. If the other function was previously playing, it will
come on again.
Vehicles with rear seat entertainment system —
The “DISC” button may also be used to operate a DVD player.
Pressing the “DISC” button changes between the CD player
and DVD player. When the DVD player is in operation, “AUX”
appears on the display.In the “TAPE” or “CD” 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.
