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.
Setting the Clock
Press and hold HR until the correct hour appears. The
letter
A or P may appear on the display for AM or PM.
Then, press and hold MN until the correct minute
appears. The clock may be set with the ignition
on or off.
AM-FM Stereo with Cassette Tape
and Compact Disc Player with
Automatic Tone Control
Playing the Radio
PWR-VOL:
Press this knob to turn the system on and
off. To increase volume, turn the knob clockwise. Turn
it counterclockwise to decrease volume.

Setting the Tone
BASS:
Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn the
knob
to increase or decrease bass. When you use this
control, the radio’s tone setting will switch to manual.
TREB: Press this knob lightly so it extends. Then pull
the knob all the way out. Turn the knob to increase or
decrease treble. When you use this control, the radio’s
tone setting will switch to manual. If a station is weak or
noisy, you may want to decrease the treble.
Push these knobs back into their stored positions when
you’re not using them.
TONE: This feature allows you to choose preset bass
and treble equalization settings designed for jazz, vocal,
pop, rock and classical stations. JAZZ will appear on the
display when you first press TONE. Each time you press
it, another setting will appear on the display. Press it
again after CLASSIC appears and MANUAL will
appear. Tone control will return to the BASS and TREB
knobs. Also, if you use the
BASS and TREB knobs,
control will return to them and MANUAL will appear.
Adjusting the Speakers
BAL:
Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn the knob
to move
the sound to the left or right speakers. The middle
position balances the sound between the speakers.
FADE: Press the knob lightly so it extends. Then pull
the knob all
the way out. Turn it to move the sound to
the front or rear speakers. The middle position balances
the sound between the speakers.
Push these knobs back into their stored positions when
you’re not using them.
Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer than
that are
so thin they may not work well in this player.
The longer side with the tape visible should face to the
right.
If the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the tape
can be inserted and will begin playing. If you hear
nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not be in
squarely. Press EJECT to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FADE, BAL,
TREB, BASS and TONE controls just
as you do for the
radio. The display will show TP with a box around it
and an arrow to show which side of the tape
is playing.

tape bias is set automatically. When a metal or
chrome tape is inserted, HI-BIAS appears on the
display.
If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is
off, first press EJECT or RCL.
If E and a number appear on the radio display, the tape
won’t play because of an error.
ElO: The tape is tight and the player can’t turn the
tape hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the
open end down and try to turn the right hub
counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over
and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape
may be damaged and should not be used in the
player. Try a new tape to make sure your player
is
working properly.
0 Ell: The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can’t be
corrected, please contact your retailer. If your radio
displays an error number, write it down and provide it to
your retailer when reporting the problem.
REV (1): Press this button to reverse the tape rapidly.
Press
it again to return to playing speed. The radio will
play the last-selected station while the tape reverses.
You may select stations during
REV operation by
using TUNE.
