Understanding Radio Reception - GMC C-Series 2001 Owner's Manual

Remote Cassette Tape Player (If Equipped)
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that
are up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes
longer than that are so thin they may not work well in
this player.
To load a cassette tape, hold the cassette with the tape to
the right. Then, insert the cassette tape. Tape direction is
displayed by the lighted arrow. To change the tape
direction, press the FF button. The tape will rapidly
advance to the end. Then the tape direction will change.
Once the tape is playing, use the control knobs for
VOLUME, BAL, FAD, BAS and TRE just as you do for
the radio.

Understanding Radio Reception

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 storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get 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). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
