Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3 1987 Owner's Manual page 56

Showing the "old" setting first allows
for reconsideration of the decision to
store. If it is desirable to leave the
"old" station in memory rather than
exchanging it with the " new" one,
quickly release the button. The "old"
station will remain in memory.
Any AM station can be stored simi-
larly on any button marked QUJ
through [2 3 .
Stereo reception
The stereo indicator
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 recep­
tion in some areas. The radio receives
AM stereo programs which are broad­
cast 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.
Tape cassette playback
It is recommended to use only good
quality cassettes with a playback time of
lights up if
not more than 90 minutes (C 90).
To start playback, insert a cassette
(tape side first, side " 1 " or "A" facing
up) through the cassette door. Push the
cassette in until it is locked in its playing
position.
When the end of one playing side is rea­
ched, the unit switches automatically to
reverse for playing the second track.
The tape track can be selected by de­
pressing the cassette track button O B
The built-in indicators show which track
of the cassette the unit is playing back.
To stop playback, press the eject button
. The unit will automatically eject
the cassette and switch to radio re­
ception.
For fast tape rewind press the fast re­
wind button H Q . The button will
lock into position until the end of the
tape is reached or until the eject E S I
or fast forward button E l is activated.
Accordingly, for fast forward of the
tape, press the fast forward button
E l
To replay cassettes recorded using
the Dolby B noise reduction system,
the Dolby NR button E l should be
pressed in. This reduces tape hiss.
When the radio is turned off by press­
ing the "OFF" side of the I
O N
button or by turning the key to steering
lock position O, the cassette will auto­
matically be ejected.
Tape equalization
For good reproduction quality it is ne­
cessary to adjust the tape player for
the particular type of tape being used.
Press the CR button for Chro­
mium dioxide (CR 02) or „metal" cas­
sette tapes only. For all other types of
tapes, the CR button E l should be
out.
