Audio
Systems
Your Delco@ audio system
has
been designed
to
operate easily and give
years of listening pleasure.
You
will
get the most enjoyment out
of
it if you
acquaint yourself with
it
first. Find out what your Delco@ system can do
and how to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re getting the most out
of
the advanced engineering that
went
into
it.
Be aware that hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until
it
is
too
late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes of sound. Sound that
seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting
the
volume control
on
your radio to
a
safe sound level before your
hearing adapts to it.
To
help avoid hearing
loss
or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly
until
you hear comfortably and clearly.
FM
Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals can only reach
about
10
to
40
miles
(16
to
65
km). And, tall buildings or hills can interfere
with
FM
signals, causing the sound to come and go.
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 pick up noise
from
things like electrical storms and power lines. If
the noise interferes
with
your listening, try reducing the treble to lessen
the
noise.
AM
Stereo
This means
the
Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country use C-QUAM@
to
produce stereo,
though some do not. If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your
“STEREO” light will come
on
when you’re receiving it. (C-QUAM@ is
a
registered trademark
of
Motorola, Inc.).
