Understanding Radio
Reception
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.
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 also
pick up noise from things like storms and
power lines. To lower this noise, try
reducing the treble level.
AM Stereo
Your Delco@ system may be able to
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@ signals,
your stereo indicator light will come on
when you are receiving it.
Care of Your Cassette
Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly
can cause reduced sound quality, ruined
cassettes, or a damaged mechanism. Tape
cassettes that are not stored in their plastic
cases away from contaminants, direct
sunlight, and extreme heat may not
operate properly or cause premature
failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned each
month or after every 15 hours of use as
regular maintenance. If you notice a
reduction in sound quality, try a known
good cassette to see if the tape or the tape
player is
at
fault. If
this other cassette has
no improvement
the tape player.
in sound quality, clean
Clean your tape player with a
wiuing-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette. To properly clean your tape
player, you should follow the directions
on the cleaning cassette.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the
sound quality may degrade over time.
Always make sure that the cassette tape is
in good condition before you have your
tape player serviced.
