124 (b) Tone and balance
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 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 vol-
ume of another.
Touching the “SOUND” switch displayed
on the screen at the audio control mode
will display the sound control mode. Ad-
just the tone and balance as follows.
To adjust the tone, touch the “+” or “ ”
switch on the screen. To adjust the bal-
ance between the front and rear speakers,
touch the “FRONT” or “REAR” switch on
the screen, and to adjust the balance be-
tween the left and right, touch the “L” or
“R” switch on the screen.
“BASS”: Adjusts low−pitched tones.
“MID”: Adjusts mid−pitched tones.
“TREB”: Adjusts high−pitched tones.
As the yellow display goes up, each tone is
more emphasized.(c) Your radio antenna
Your vehicle has an antenna printed on the in-
side of the rear quarter windows.
NOTICE
Putting a film (especially a conductive
or metallic film) on the rear window will
noticeably reduce the sensitivity of the
radio.
(d) Your cassette player
When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape
should face to the right.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part
of the cassette player. Do not insert any-
thing other than cassette tapes into the
slot.

Turn the knob clockwise to step up the sta-
tion band or counterclockwise to step
down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo
reception when a stereo broadcast is re-
ceived. “ST” appears on the screen. If the
signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the
amount of channel separation to prevent the
weak signal from creating noise. If the signal
becomes extremely weak, the radio switches
from stereo to mono reception. In this case,
“ST” disappears from the screen.
(b) Presetting a station
1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Touch one of the switches (1 — 6) you
want and hold it until a beep is heard. This
sets the station to the switch and the fre-
quency appears on the switch.
Each radio mode (AM, FM1 or FM2) can store
up to 6 stations. To change the preset station
to a different one, follow the same procedure.

the power source is interrupted by battery dis-
connection or a blown fuse.(c) Selecting a station

ton on either side. The radio will begin seek-
ing up or down for a station of the nearest fre-
quency and will stop on reception. Each time

button again.
