creases, your receiver automatically and
gradually changes over to monaural re-
production. If this stereo signal should
strongly vary on account of the reception
conditions, it is advisable to change over to
permanent monaural reception by depress-
ing button (3).

Opening (7)in the right-hand part of the scale
is used for trimming the aerial, which has al-
ready been done when the set was mounted
into the car. Do not change this adjustment.
Interference Absorption Circuit (1.A.C.)
The quality of FM stereo reception on your
radio has been strongly improved by the
application of an Interference Absorption
Circuit. This circuit eliminates practically
all interferences, affecting the FM-signal.
