AUDIO SYSTEMS
c
Your Delco@ audio system has been designed to operate easily and give
years of listening pleasure. You will get the most enjoyment out
of
your
audio s stem if you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your
Delco system can do and how to operate all its controls, to be sure
you're getting the most out of the advanced engineering that went into
it.

FM
Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, however,
FM
signals will only
reach about
10
to 40 miles
(16
to
65
km).
Tall buildings
or
hills may
interfere with FM signals causing sounds to fade and may also cause
popping, crackling or momentary hissing noises.
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. (FCC regulations require some AM radio stations
to reduce
signal strength at night to minimize interference.) 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.
This means your radio can produce quality AM sound comparable to FM
stereo.
AMAX@
reduces noise without reducing the
high frequencies you
need for the best sound. In addition to improved sound quality,
AMAX@includes more stations on the AM band. You don't have to do
anything to your radio because AMAX' is automatic.
AM
Stereo
This means the Delco' system can receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country use C-QUAM@ to produce stereo,
though some do not. (C-QUAM@
is a registered trademark of Motorola,
Inc.) If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your
ST
stereo light will
come on when you're receiving it.
