RADIO Notes on radio reception
Your radio is 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 a nd
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).

AUDIO SYSTEM (RM2 and RD3) Presentation
Your 406 CoupŽ is fitted with a JBL Audio Hi-Fi system, designed specifically for the vehicle's passenger compartment.
At the heart of the system, a 320 Watt multifunction amplifier (1), located in the boot, independently controls 10 high acoustic definition speakers. These speakers make it possible to obtain optimum reproduction and distribution of the sound in the vehicle, in the
front and in the rear. The speakers are located:
Ð in the fascia: two Micro Tweeters (3) fitted in two Medium Range Speakers (4) for clear and head-on reproduction of the
sound, favouring listening in the front.
Ð in the front doors: two Woofers (5)for reproduction of the bass (low frequencies) in the front.
Ð in the passenger pillars: two Tweeters (2)for reproduction of the treble (high frequencies) in the rear.
Ð on the rear shelf: two Subwoofers (6)for reproduction of the extreme bass sounds (low and very low frequencies) through-
out the passenger compartment; you will appreciate the impact and depth, noticing that the sound fills the vehicle
perfectly .
Adjustment in CD mode The basic functions remain those of the audio equipment.
No additional adjustment is required. However, to benefit fully from your
JBL audio system, you are advised to adjust the AUDIO functions (BASS,
TREB, FAD, BAL) to position "0"(zero) and the Loudness (LOUD)to the
"ON" position.
