[. . . ] Check that there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom, and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary so that the sleeve is firmly secured to the dashboard. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so that the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve. [. . . ] To favor the sound output from the left speaker(s), rotate the control CCW; to favor the sound output from the right speaker(s), rotate the control CW. 4 TONE CONTROL 5 AM-FM BAND SELECTOR Rotate this control knob to adjust the sound output for the desired bass or treble tonal range. When the control is positioned at the mid-range detent position, the bass and treble response should be very nearly equal. To increase bass response, rotate the control CCW; to increase treble response, rotate the control CW. Press this button to change the radio band from AM to FM and vice-versa. Rotate this knob to the left or right to select the desired radio station. When tuning in a station, always adjust the control so that you are receiving the full signal and are on the center of the broadcast frequency. If the radio is off frequency, you could experience noise and reception problems. The pointer will move along the dial to indicate the frequency to which you are tuned. This LED indicator within the AM/FM dial will illuminate red during reception of FM stereo broadcasts; if the stereo station is mistuned (not in the center of the frequency) this indicator may light intermittently or not at all. -7- 8 FM MONO/STEREO (MO. ST) BUTTON 9 LOCAL/DISTANT (LO. DX) BUTTON During FM radio reception, this button is used to select mono or stereo reception. Under normal reception conditions, the unit should be left in the stereo mode, as indicated by the FM Stereo indicator. If the stereo signal is too noisy for comfortable listening, press the MO. ST button to switch to mono reception. This button allows maximum reception in both weak and strong FM signal areas. For normal reception conditions, and when receiving a wide range of signals, including weak or distant stations, this function should be set to the Distant (DX) position, which will allow maximum signal reception. When in an extremely strong (local) signal area, select the Local (LO) setting. When moving out of the strong signal area, switch to the Distant setting. NOTE: The Local/Distant button only affects FM signals, and will have no effect on AM signals. 6 MANUAL TUNING CONTROL 7 FM STEREO INDICATOR bl AM ANTENNA TRIMMER It is very important to adjust the Antenna Trimmer for optimum AM reception. Adjust this control after wiring connections are complete and before the radio is inserted into the dashboard opening. Proceed as follows: 1. Tune in a weak station around 1400 kHz on the AM band. 2. Using a small screwdriver, slowly adjust the trimmer for maximum output from the radio. NOTE: The Antenna Trimmer only affects AM reception, and will have no effect on FM reception. The Trimmer only needs to be adjusted when the radio is first installed and at any time a change is made to the vehicle antenna (replacing the mast, etc. ). bn FAST-FORWARD/EJECT (FF/EJ) BUTTON This button performs two functions. To fast-forward the tape, press the button half-way in to the locked position. [. . . ] Always keep your cassettes away from direct sunlight or exposure to sub-freezing conditions. Before inserting a cassette in the player, check that the tape is tightly wound on the reels. Take up any excess slack using a pencil to turn the drive hub in the cassette (see diagram).
