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 exchang­
ing it with the “ new” one, quickly
release the button. The “old” station
will remain in memory.
Any AM station can be stored similarly
on any button marked H!1 throuoh I f f l .
Stereo reception
The stereo indicator lights up if
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 reception
in some areas. The radio receives AM
stereo programs which are broadcast
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 condi­
tions, 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 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
reached, the unit switches automati­
cally to reverse for playing the second
track.
The tape track can be selected by
depressing the cassette track button
E E ■
The built-in indicators show
which track of the cassette the unit is
playing back.
To stop playback, press the eject but­
ton
. The unit will automatically
eject the cassette and switch to radio
reception.
For fast tape rewind press the fast
rewind button E Q | . The button will lock
into position until the end of the tape is
reached or until the eject
W B
or fast
forward button E l is activated.
Accordingly, for fast forward of the tape,
press the fast forward button .
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
pressing the “ OFF” side of the
im H 3 button or by turning the key to
steering lock position 0, the cassette
will automatically be ejected.
Tape equalization
For good reproduction quality it is
necessary to adjust the tape player for
the particular type of tape being used.
Press the CR button E | for all casset­
tes except ferric dioxide cassettes
(Fe20 3). If the button E l is not
pressed, the tape recorder is adjusted
to ferric dioxide cassettes (Fe20 3).
