A CAUTION: 
Hearing damage  from  loud noise is  almost  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. 
' 
Adjust the volume  control to the  lowest  setting. 
Increase  volume  slowly  until you hear  comfortably  and

FM Stereo 
FM stereo will give  you  the  best  sound,  but FM signals will reach only 
about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).  Tall  buildings  or hills  can  interfere 
with 
FM signals,  causing  the sound  to come  and go

The  range  for most AM stations  is greater  than  for  FM,  especially at 
night.  The longer range,  however, can cause  stations to interfere  with 
each  other.  AM  can pick  up noise  from things  like storms and power 
lines. 
Dolby@ 
This  feature  automatically removes noise on Dolby encoded  tapes (no 
button  is required). 
AM Stereo 
This  means  the  Delco@  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  Delco@  system can get  C-QUAM@,  your 
“ST” light will 
come  on when  you’re  receiving  it. 
*Dolby@  is a registered  trademark  of Dolby  Laboratories. 
This  means  that your  sound  system  can produce  quality AM  sound 
comparable  to  FM  stereo.  AMAX@  reduces  noise without reducing  the 
high  frequencies  you need  for  the  best  sound.  ,In  addition  to improved 
sound  quality, 
AMAX@ includes  more  stations  on  the  AM  band.  You 
don’t have  to 
do anything in your radio  because AMAX@  is automatic.
