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.
