AMIFM Stereo with Cassette
Player and Equalizer
The digital display indicates information
on the time or radio station frequency,
the AM or FM radio band, whether the
station is in stereo, and many other
radio functions.
PWR (Power): Press to turn the unit
on and off when the ignition is on.
VOL-BAL (Volume-Balance): Turn
the upper knob to adjust the volume, or
press it to change the side of a tape
that’s playing. Press the knob to display
the time when the ignition
is off, or to switch
between time and radio station
frequency while the radio is on.
The control ring behind the
VOL-BAL
knob adjusts the left/right speaker
balance.
TUNE-FADE: This knob has two
functions. Turn it
to the left or right to
tune in radio stations (the radio station
frequency will be displayed on the
digital screen). Press the knob to
change between the AM and FM bands
(the digital screen will momentarily
display
AM or FM, and if the station is
in stereo,
STEREO will be displayed). Your
radio has an AMAX-certified
receiver. It can produce quality AM
stereo sound and receive C-Quam@
stereo broadcasts. AMAX reduces noise
without reducing the high frequencies
you need for the best sound. You don’t
have to
do anything to your Delco/GM
radio because AMAX
is automatic.
The control ring behind the
TUNE-
FADE
knob adjusts the front/rear
speaker balance.
Equalizer Controls: Boost the bass,
emphasize a voice in song, brighten the
treble-your equalizer gives
you
freedom to adjust five separate
frequencies of sound to your individual
taste. Move a lever up to emphasize a
frequency, move it down
to de-
emphasize. It’s best to begin with the
levers in the middle position, then
adjust individual levers as you like.
LOUD: Press to increase the bass
response. This is most helpful in
producing a natural sound at low
listening levels.
AUTO DNR (Dynamic Noise
Reduction):
This sound system
automatically reduces background
noises on AM,, FM and cassette tapes.

Care of Your Cassette Tape
Player
A tape player that is not cleaned
regularly is subject to reduced sound
quality, ruining the cassette, or
damaging the mechanism. Tape
cassettes that are not properly stored in
their plastic cases away from
contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat may not operate properly
and could cause premature failure of
the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned
monthly or with every
15 hours of use,
as regular maintenance. If you notice a
reduction in sound quality,
try a good
cassette to see if the tape or the tape
1
player is at fault. If the second cassette
results in no improvement in sound
quality, try cleaning the tape player.
Proper tape player cleaning should be
done with a
wiping action nonabrasive
cleaner cassette.
To properly clean your
tape player,
you should follow the
directions on the cleaning cassette.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the
sound quality may degrade over time.
Always verify that the cassette tape is in
good condition before obtaining service
on your tape player.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in
their original cases or other protective
cases and away from direct sunlight and
dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled,
dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild,
neutral detergent solution and clean it,
wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal
surface when handling discs. Pick up
discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
