Stereo reception
The stereo indicator sma=M lights up if
a stereo program in the AM or FM
band is received.
Note: Since some AM stereo broad­
casting is not compatible with your
car radio reception capabilities, you
may experience limited AM stereo re­
ception in some areas. The radio re­
ceives AM stereo programs which are
broadcast via the C-Quam AM stereo
system.
The radio is equipped with an auto­
matic stereo/mono switch that elec­
tronically switches to mono for clear
reception if a weak signal is received.
The stereo indicator will remain lit
even if the receiver has changed to
the mono mode and will turn off at an
antenna signal considered insufficient
to provide acceptable reception
quality.

Note: Although FM is normally static
free, reception quality can be limited
by geographic and atmospheric con­
ditions, station strength and distance
from transmitter. Buildings or other
obstructions can cause momentary
static, flutter or station swapping. If
good reception cannot be obtained,
tune to a stronger station.
