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.
(C-QUAM@ is
a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc.)
If your D~ICO@ system can get C-QUAM@, your
“STEREO” light will come on when you’re receiving it.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
Your tapes will sound best if you clean your cassette
tape player from time to time. Use a non-abrasive
cleaning cassette instead of a music tape. Follow the
instructions on the cleaning cassette.
Store cassette tapes away from extreme heat or direct
sunlight. Protect the open ends from dirt or damage;
store them in their original cases or other protective
cases. Cassettes eventually wear out and you may need
to replace them
if they become noisy.
