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.

Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode allows you
to receive text messages from radio stations
that utilize RDS transmitters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
— only select stations of a particular program
type,
— display messages from radio stations,
— search for a stronger signal station.

If the system receives a radio text from an
RDS station, “MSG” appears on the display.
Touch the “MSG” switch, and a text message
is displayed on the screen.
In case a text message is not accepted in a
screen, you can touch the “MSG” switch and
hold it to display the rest of the message.
