Important information
about this manual
For safety reasons, this manual indicates
items requiring particular attention with
the following marks.
óNote: This is a warning against
anything which may cause damage
to the vehicle or its equipment if the
warning is ignored. You are informed
about what you must or must not do
in order to avoid or reduce the risk
of damage to your vehicle and its
equipment.
òCaution: This is a warning against
anything which may cause injury to
people if the warning is ignored.
You are informed about what you must
or must not do in order to reduce the
risk of injury to yourself and others.
To ensure the correct
audio system operation
— be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio system
— do not put anything other than a
Compact Disc into the slot
— the use of cellular phones inside or
near the vehicle may cause noise from
the audio system speakers you are
listening to. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.

Operating precautions
òCaution:
Do not use any feature of this system
to the extent it becomes a distraction
and prevents safe driving. The rst
priority while driving should always
be the safe operation of the vehicle.
While driving, be sure to observe all
trac regulations. Prior to the actual
use of this system, learn how to use it
and become thoroughly familiar with
it. Read the entire TAS200 Owner’s
Manual to make sure you understand
the system. Toyota will not be held
liable for damages including, but
not limited to serious injury, death
or property damage resulting from
distraction.
Do not drive with the volume turned
up excessively, such that you cannot
hear sounds outside the vehicle.
Avoid using the audio system
when the interior of the vehicle is
excessively hot. Use only after the
interior has cooled.
Do not disassemble or modify the
audio system in any way. For technical
assistance, please contact your
authorized repairer.
The audio system works only when the
ignition key (or switch) is in the ON or ACC
position. If you want to listen to the audio
system when the engine is not running,
switch the ignition key to the ACC position.
To get the best out of the CD player and
your CDs, please note the following points:
Use only discs that bear one of the
compact disc marks shown above.
This unit can play CD-R (CD Recordable)
and CD-RW (CD Rewritable) discs recorded
as standard audio CDs. Make sure that the
disc has been nalized (that the session
has been ’closed’). It is possible that
some discs will not be playable due to the
way in which they were recorded, or the
equipment used for recording.
Never insert anything other than a regular
12 cm CD into the disc slot.
Avoid using the CD player on rough or
uneven roads as the vibration can cause
the disc to skip and other problems.
EN_01965_Audio_OM_def.indd 9 18-11-2009 13:09:26

10 TAS200 A
Dehumidication:
In cold or wet weather, just as the interior
glass gets fogged, condensation may
settle in the CD player. If this happens,
disc playback may become intermittent,
or impossible. Dehumidify the air in the
vehicle for a while, then resume playback.
Cleaning the disc slot:
the disc slot tends to get dusty. Clean it
occasionally to prevent accumulated dust
from scratching the discs.
CDs
Discs may warp if, after being ejected, they
are left in the disc slot for too long. Discs
should be stored in their cases and kept
away from high temperature and humidity.
Do not play scratched or warped discs.
Scratched discs can cause the sound to
skip or stick. Warped discs may become
stuck in the player.
If a disc becomes dirty, wipe it gently with
a soft, lint-free cloth from the center to the
edge. To remove ngerprints and other oily
substances from the disc’s surface, use a
commercial CD cleaning uid or spray.
Never use record cleaning sprays, solvents
or abrasive cleaners on CDs.
Never stick tape or labels on CDs, or
scratch them.
Avoid touching the recorded surface when
handling CDs; pick up discs by their edges.
EN_01965_Audio_OM_def.indd 10 18-11-2009 13:09:27

TAS200 11
A
You may notice that some brand new
discs are rough around the center hole or
outside edge. Remove the rough edges
with the side of a ball-point pen, or the
like. Rough edges may prevent proper
loading in the CD player. Flakes from the
rough edges may interfere with playback.
Do not use accessories (stabilizers,
protective seals, laser lens cleaners, etc.)
sold to ’improve’ the sound, or ’protect’
CDs. The change in thickness or outer
dimensions that can result from using
some of these products may cause
problems in the CD player.
Do not attach any ring-shaped ’protector’
or other similar accessories to discs. These
products are commercially available and
their makers often claim that they protect
CDs or improve sound quality, but they
can do more harm than good. The most
common problems are insert/eject and
non-playback problems.
When removing an ejected disc, pull it
straight out from the slot, taking care not
to pull it out at a downward angle.
Do not play non-circular discs (heart-
shaped or octagonal discs, for example),
even with an adapter. These types of discs
may damage the CD player.
óNote: To prevent excessive battery
drain (which may prevent you starting
the vehicle), do not leave the audio
system on longer than necessary
without the engine running.

Dual discs
Dual Discs are two-sided discs that have a
recordable CD for audio on one side and a
recordable DVD for video on the other.
Since the CD side of Dual Discs is not
physically compatible with the general CD
standard, it may not be possible to play the
CD side with this unit.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a Dual
Disc may result in scratches on the disc.
Serious scratches can lead to playback
problems on this unit. In some cases, a
Dual Disc may become stuck in the disc
loading slot and will not eject. To prevent
this, we recommend you refrain from using
Dual Disc with this unit.
Please refer to the information from
the disc manufacturer for more detailed
information about Dual Discs.
