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.

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.

this other cassette has
no improvement
