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.
CAUTION
For vehicles sold in U.S.A. and
Canada:
Part 15 of the FCC Rules
FCC Warning:
Any unauthorized changes or modi-
fications to this equipment will void
the user’s authority to operate this
device.
Laser products
Do not take this unit apart or at-
tempt to make any changes your-
self. This is an intricate unit that
uses a laser pickup to retrieve in-
formation from the surface of com-
pact discs. The laser is carefully
shielded so that its rays remain in-
side the cabinet. Therefore, never
try to disassemble the player or al-
ter any of its parts since you may
be exposed to laser rays and dan-
gerous voltages.
This product utilizes a laser. Use of
controls or adjustments or perfor-
mance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push “PWR·VOL” to turn the audio system
on and off.
Push “AM”, “FM”, “TAPE”, “DISC” or
“LOAD” to turn on that function without
pushing “PWR·VOL”. To turn on the cas-
sette or compact disc player, a cassette
or compact disc must be loaded in the
player.
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 another function was pre-
viously playing, it will come on again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push “AM”, “FM”, “TAPE”, “DISC” or
“LOAD” 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
Your vehicle has the mast type antenna or
on−
glass antenna printed on the inside of
the rear quarter window.
Mast type antenna—To remove an anten-
na, carefully turn it counterclockwise.
NOTICE
 Mast type antenna:
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is removed before
driving your Toyota through an au-
tomatic car wash.
 Onglass antenna:
Putting a film (especially a conduc-
tive or metallic film) on the rear
window will noticeably reduce the
sensitivity of the radio.
