Audio Systems
Your Delco@ audio system has been designed to operate easily and give
years of listening pleasure. But you will get the most enjoyment out of it, if
you acquaint yourself with

and how to operate all its controls, to be sure you're getting the most out of
the advanced engineering that went into
it.
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it is too

precautions by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before hearing adapts to
it.

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall buildings or hills can interfere with
FM
signals, causing the sound to come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night.
The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other.
AM
can pick up noise from things like electrical storms and power lines. If
the noise interferes with your listening,
try
reducing the treble to lessen the
noise.
