2. Area coverage
Scope of AM and FM broadcasting coverage area differs greatly.
Sometimes although AM broadcast may be received clearly, FM
binaural broadcasting cannot be received. Not only listening zone of
FM binaural broadcasting is small, but also static noise or other
cacophony (noise) tends to occur.
3. Receiving problem
Notes:
Besides static noise problem, there is also interference, multiplex
and attenuation. These problems are not caused by electric cacophony,
but the problem of radio wave itself.
(1) Interference
Besides static noise problem, AM broadcast tends to receive
other types of noise, especially at night. This is because ionosphere
reflects AM radio wave at night, these interference electric waves
interfere with signals from the same signal source while entering into
vehicle antenna directly, this kind of noise is called "interference".
(2) Multiplex
Noise caused by radio wave reflected from barrier is called
"multiplex". When radio signal emitted by broadcast antenna is
reflected by high buildings or high mountains, and disturbs directly
received other signals, multiplex phenomenon occurs.
(3) Attenuation
Since its frequency is higher than AM, FM wave is more easily
reflected by high buildings or high mountains. Therefore, FM signal
often disappears gradually, or when vehicle is blocked by barrier, it
cannot receive any signal, such phenomenon is called "attenuation".Audio System -Audio System Description5-38Chapter 5 Audio SystemSection 1 Audio System DescriptionDescription:

Wave bands used in radiobroadcast are as follows:
LF: low frequency MF: medium frequency HF: high frequency VHF: very high frequencyFM (stereo)
FM (non-stereo)

Notes:
If noise occurred does not belong to any of the above-mentioned situations, please find out the cause according
to "receiving problem".
5. CD phonograph
CD phonograph (hereafter referred to as CD) uses laser beam to read digital signals recorded on CD, then revert
to analog signal of music.
Notes:
Don't attempt to break down or apply oil to any component of the phonograph. Do not insert anything other
than a CD into optical disk cartridge.
Notes:
CD phonograph uses invisible laser beam, could generate harmful radialization, always operate phonograph
according to instructions.
6. Maintenance
(1) Cleaning of magnetic tape phonograph, magnetic head:
a. Open tape cartridge gate with your finger, use a pencil or a similar article to insert guider.
b. use cleaning pen or cotton swabs with detergent to wipe magnetic head surface, idler wheel or guide
pulley.
(2) CD phonograph, CD cleaning:
If CD is dirty, use soft cloth to wipe the surface from CD center radially outwards.
Notes:
Don't use ordinary recorder detergent or antistatic protectant. 4. Noise problem
Detailed description of noise problem fed back by customers is of great importance for analyzing and
eliminating noise interference, the table below may be used for diagnosis.Audio System -Audio System Description5-39Noise condition
Noise occurs in special position
Noise occurs when receiving small
signal
Noise only occurs at night
Noise occurs in special position
during driving Radio wave
AM
FMCause
Most probably external noise
Broadcast from local station might broadcast the same
program. If program is the same, one of them might be
disturbed
Most probably from remote interference
Most probably is multiplex interference due to FM
frequency changeExample:
