Radio reception
The following tips will help you gain the
best reception from your high quality
audio system.
To gain the best reception, always tune to the
strongest station signal available.
AM (MEDIUM/ LONG WAVE) RECEPTION
Under most conditions, strong MW and LW
signals provide stable sound quality and little
signal disturbance.
However, at night, atmospheric conditions
may sometimes lead to interference from
foreign stations.
FM RECEPTION
The FM waveband offers higher quality sound
reception, but signal strength can be subject to
interference caused by:
• The limited range of some transmitters.
• Reception distortion as signals reflect off
local buildings and other objects.
• Signal 'dead spots' where reception is
obstructed or restricted.
CASSETTES
The tape head in the cassette player needs to be
cleaned regularly. It only takes a few minutes and
perfect sound quality can be retained by using a
recommended 'wet' cleaning tape after every twenty
hours of playback.
It also pays to take good care of tape cassettes.
Direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, for
example, can distort a tape and may lead to trouble
when the cassette is inserted into a tape player.
The audio unit may also be damaged if 'foreign
bodies', unsuitable items like credit cards or coins,
are pushed inside the cassette aperture.
Finally, using a high quality tape cassette also helps
improve sound performance. Tapes to avoid include
those which are:
• Old and worn out.
• Spliced tapes.
• Cassettes with a total playback time of
over 100 minutes because thinner tape is
used in these and that increases the chance
of tangling.
• Cassettes which are damaged or have a
peeling label.
