(a) Listening to the radio
Push these buttons to choose either
an AM or FM station.
“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the
screen.
L00170
Turn the knob clockwise to step up
the station band or counterclockwise
to step down.
Your radio automatically changes to ste-
reo reception when a stereo broadcast is
received. “ST” appears on the screen. If
the signal becomes weak, the radio re-
duces the amount of channel separation
to prevent the weak signal from creating
noise. If the signal becomes extremely
weak, the radio switches from stereo to
mono reception. In this case, “ST” disap-
pears from the screen.
(b) Presetting a station
1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Touch one of the station selector switches (1 6) and hold it until a beep is heard. This sets the station to the switch
and the frequency appears on the switch

Static and fluttering—These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping—If the FM signal you
are listening to is interrupted or weak-
ened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may
tune in the second station until the origi-
nal signal can be picked up again.
AM
Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere—especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference—When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the
broadcast.
Static—AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE
PLAYER AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cas-
sette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts reg-
ularly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can
decrease sound quality and tangle
your cassette tapes. The easiest way
to clean them is by using a cleaning
tape. (A wet type is recommended.)
Use high−quality cassettes.
Low−quality cassette tapes can cause
many problems, including poor sound,
inconsistent playing speed, and
constant auto−reversing. They can
also get stuck or tangled in the cas-
sette player.
Do not use a cassette if it has been
damaged or tangled or if its label is
peeling off.
Do not leave a cassette in the player
if you are not listening to it, especially
if it is hot outside.
Store cassettes in their cases and out
of direct sunlight.
Avoid using cassettes with a total
playing time longer than 100 minutes
(50 minutes per side). The tape used
in these cassettes is thin and could
get stuck or tangled in the cassette
player.
CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER AND DISCS
Your compact disc player is intended
for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player from work-
ing. On hot days, use the air condi-
tioning to cool the vehicle interior be-
fore you use the players.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your compact disc player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact
disc player, the players may not play
even though they appear to be wor-
king. Remove the disc from the player
and wait until it dries.
