Radio Frequencies
Your Honda's radio can tune in all frequencies in both the AM and FM

bands.

Those bands cover these frequen-
cies:

AM band:530 to 1,710 kilohertz
FM band:
87.7 to 107.9 megahertz
Radio stations on the AM band are
assigned frequencies at least 10
kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550).
Those on the FM band are assigned frequencies at least 0.2 megahertz
apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).
Stations must use these exact
frequencies. It is fairly common forstations to round-off the frequency in
their advertising, so your radio will show a frequency of 100.9 even
though the announcer may call the
station "FM101."

The SKIP function lets you skip to
the beginning of a song or other
passage. The tape skips forward or
backward, depending on which direction you push the FF/REW/
SKIP switch.
Activate SKIP by pushing the FF/ REW/SKIP switch and holding it

that have almost no gap between
songs, a high noise level between
songs, or silent periods in the middle
of songs. Caring for Cassettes
Damaged cassettes can jam inside
the drive or cause other problems. See page 105 for information on
cassette care and protection.
