406 Estate AUDIO SYSTEM (RM2) Presentation
Your 406 estate is fitted with a JBL Audio Hi-Fi system, designed specifically for the passenger compartment.. At the heart of the system, a 180 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 boot pillar: two Micro Tweeters (5) for reproduction of treble (high frequencies), set into two Mediums (6)giving
uniform sound reproduction throughout the whole of the vehicle.
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.

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
Press button B.
Selecting a waveband Briefly press button Bto select the FM1, FM2, FMast and AM wavebands.
Automatic station search Briefly press button Kor Lto search for the station immediately above or below.
By continuing to press the button in the direction selected, you will obtain contin-
uous scrolling of the frequency. The scrolling stops at the first station found as soon as the button is released.
If the TA traffic programme is selected, only stations broadcasting this type of programme are selected.Searching for a station occurs first in "LO"sensitivity (selection of the most powerful transmitters) during scanning of the
waveband, then in "DX"sensitivity (selection of the weakest and most distant transmitters).
To make a direct search in "DX"sensitivity, press button Kor Ltwice.
