AM Stereo
This means the DelcoB system can receive C-QUAM@
stereo broadcasts. Many AM stations around the country
use C-QUAM@
to produce stereo, though some do not.
(C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark
of Motorola, Inc.)
If your Delcoa system can get C-QUAM@, your
“STEREO” light will come on when you’re receiving it.
A CAUTION:
Hearing damage from loud noise is ZIIH IOSl
undetectable until it is too late. Your hearing can
adapt
to higher volumes of sound. Sound that
seems normal can be loud and harmful
to your
hearing. Take precautions by adjusting the
volume control on your radio
to a safe sound
level before your hearing adapts to
it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate
properly or cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each
month or after every
15 hours of use. If you notice a
reduction in sound quality, try a known good cassette to
see if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other
cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the
tape player.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette, and follow
the directions
provided with it. Cassettes are subject to
wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always make sure that the cassette
tape is in
good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.
