tion is tuned in by turning the manual

accurate manual tuning is important.

FM Reception
FM signals travel in a “ line-of-sight” .
Reflections or “ dead spots" may
cause cancellations or loss of the
signal as well as strong signal
overloading or capture.
Lowering the antenna height in strong
signal areas may eliminate many of
the resulting problems and restore
normal reception. However, fringe
area reception requires the full
antenna length to capture weak
incoming signals. The antenna can be
operated by depressing the respec­
tive side of the rocker switch.
FM Stereo Reception
If an FM stereo station is tuned in, the
red Stereo Indicator Lamp will come
on. Good quality stereo reception,
however, is possible only in areas of
high field intensity.
Accurate tuning to the strongest
available stereo stations is of parti­
cular importance for fringe area
reception.
Your radio is fitted with a continuously
operating Stereo Decoder which
automatically switches the radio from
stereo to mono reception if the signal
becomes too weak. The Stereo
Indicator Lamp remains lit. If the
signals of the station tuned in
become too weak, the Stereo Indica­
tor Lamp goes out.
The radio will return to stereo mode
automatically when signal strength
permits..
Tape Playback
Insert cassette (side 1 pointing up­
wards) into cassette slot and push in
to the stop. The radio will then switch
over from radio reception to tape
playback.
If one side of the tape is finished the
player changes over to the other side
of the tape automatically (continuous
operation).
If tape sides are to be changed while
playing, push track changeover but­
ton (10).
Track indicator (9) indicates the tape
side being played.
