AM-FM S t ere a Radio
-
The AM-FM
stereo radio provides
a selection of
AM-
FM monaural
or
FM
stereo
reception.
The
AM-FM frequency band reception may be
selected by
sliding
the frequency bar, lo-
cated
above the
dial, to the right or left.
The
type of
reception
selected
is indicated
by the
letters
AM and FM. (Follow the
procedure for

ment.)

FM
reception, to
a great degree,
is
free
from
atmosphere static and man-made in-
terference such
as neon
lights.
power lines,
ignition
systems, etc. Normal FM recep-
tion
should
be
almost
noise-free
unless the
radio is tuned to
a very weak
station
in
the fringe
area. It
may
be
necessary,
while
driving.
to manually retune FM stations
slightly to
maintain
peak reception. Un-
like
AM
reception,
FM station coverage
will only average
20 to
30 miles. When
the distance from
the car to the station
exceeds this
range,
reception will start to
flutter
or
static
may
become
objectionable.
This is
a normal
condition
and may
be
corrected
by
tuning
in
a different station
which
is
within
the
FM range.
If
no
FM stations are within
range,
AM tuning
should
be
used.
The stereophonic feature is pre-set
at
the
factory for balance and correct
separation
of sound. An
indicator
light
on
the
center
of the dial (marked STEREO)
comes on
only
when
an
FM stereo station is
selected.
It
is
also
important
that your
front
and
rear speakers be properly balanced for the
best
stereo
effect. The balance
is
adjusted
by
using
the rear seat speaker
ring.
