Audio introductionRADIO RECEPTION
Some interference is to be expected from time
to time during a journey. Occasionally it may be
necessary to retune the audio unit to offset the
effects of moving from one transmitter area to
another.
While Radio Data System (RDS) automatic
retuning helps to reduce the effects of signal
changes, some manual retuning may still be
required (especially for lo cal stations) in areas
of weak reception.
FM Signals travel in a straight line so large
obstacles, such as tall buildings, can shield the
vehicle from the signal, causing distortion or
loss of reception (known as dead spots).
Distortion can also occur if FM signals received
directly from the transmitter, mix with signals
deflected by obstructions such as mountains,
hills and tall buildin gs. This is known as
multi-path distortion.
Note: Although distortion, interference and
lack of signal clarity are sometimes attributed
to a fault in the radio, this is rarely the case.
