RADIO Notes on radio reception
Car radio receivers are subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic radio sets. Both MW/LW and FM reception are
subject to various forms of interference. This is no reflection on the quality of the equipment, but is due to the nature of the
signals and the way in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be noticed when passing under high voltage power lines or bridges, or in tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result of increasing distance from the transmitter, deflection of the signals by obstacles
(mountains, hills, buildings etc), or of being in an area which is not covered by a transmitter. Selecting radio mode

waveband, then in " DX" sensitivity (selection of the weakest and most distant transmitters).

406 Saloon AUDIO SYSTEM (RM2) Presentation
Your 406 saloon is fitted with a JBL Audio Hi-Fi system, designed specifically for the passenger compartment. At the heart of the system, a 240 watt multifunction amplifier (1) (located in the boot) independently controls 10 high acoustic definition speakers. These speakers provide optimal reproduction and distribution of the sound in the vehicle, both in the front and the
rear. The speakers are situated:– in the fascia: two Micro Tweeters (3) set into two Mediums (4) for reproduction of the sound in the front.
– in the front doors: two Woofers (2) for reproduction of bass frequencies in the front.
– on the rear parcel shelf: two Tweeters (5) for reproduction of treble (high frequencies) in the rear are set into two ellipti-
cal speakers (6), which are adjusted to reproduce a very wide range of bass and ultra-bass frequencies throughout the
whole of the passenger compartment. You will appreciate the clarity and depth and notice that the sound fills the
whole of the vehicle perfectly.
Adjusting in CD modeThe basic functions remain those of the audio set.
There is no need for any further adjustment. However, in order to take
full advantage of your JBL audio system, you are advised to set theAUDIO functions (BASS, TREB, FAD, BAL) to position "0"(zero) and
the Loudness (LOUD)to the "ON" position.
