receiver. It can produce quality AM

CD Player Anti-Theft Fieature
Delco LOC II@ is a security feature for
the compact disc player. It can be used
or ignored. If ignored, the system plays
normally.
If it is used, your player won’t
be usable if it is ever stolen, because it
will go to
LOC mode any time battery
power is removed. Until an unLOC
code is entered, it will not
turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to
enter a secret code into the system.
If
your vehicle loses battery power for any
reason, you must unlock the system with
the secret code before the radio will turn
on.
To Set the Anti-Theft System:
1. Write down any six-digit number and
keep it in a safe place.
2. Turn the ignition to the Accessory or
Run position.
3. Press the POWER button to turn the
radio
off.
4. Press the PREV and FF buttons
together. Hold them down until
“- - -” shows on the display (at least
five seconds). You are ready to enter
your secret code.
NOTE:
If you allow more than 15
seconds to elapse between any steps, the
radio automatically reverts to time and
you must
start the procedure over at step 4.

AM Stereo
Your Delco@ system may be able to
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
Delco@ system can get C-Quam@
signals, your stereo indicator light will
come on when you are receiving it.
Care of Your Cassette
Tape
Player
A tape player that is not cleaned
regularly can cause reduced sound
quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be
stored
in their cases away from
contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat.
If they aren't, they may
not operate properly or cause failure of
the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned
regularly each month
or after every 15
hours of use. If you notice a reduction in
sound quality, try a known good cassette
to see if
the tape or the tape player is at
fault. If this other cassette has no
improvement in sound quality, clean the
tape player. Clean your tape player with
a wiping-
action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette,
and follow the directions provided with
it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the
sound quality may degrade over time.
Always make sure that the cassette tape
is in good condition before you have
your tape player serviced.
