Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
AM
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. Try reducing
the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
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 “STEREO” light will
come on when you’re receiving
it.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle - like a
1 tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio - be
sure you can add what you want.
If you can, it’s very important
to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation
of your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio or other
systems, and even damage them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and
be sure to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 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.
