AM Stereo
Your Delco@ system may be able to
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@
signals, your stereo indicator light will
come on when you are receiving it.
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.
