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.
