AM - reasons for distortion

AM reception is sensitive to electrical disturbances such as power lines, lighting, etc.

FM stereo reception

Stereo reception places very high demands on the signal quality which means the type of distortions
previously mentioned become even more obvious. The signal strength needs to be stronger for good
stereo reception and this limits the effective range of the sender.
We hope that this information proves to be useful and provides you with a better understanding of the
problems related to car radio reception.
Reception conditions are not always optimum and this is, of course, beyond our control. However, we
have endeavored to make the Volvo Audio System of a quality that will enable you to enjoy the best
possible reception no matter what the reception conditions may be.

Radio antenna

NOTE: Always lower the antenna (by switching off the radio) when using an automatic car wash or
entering a garage. The antenna should be cleaned at least every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or more
frequently if needed. Use WD40 for cleaning.
