stations at the same time.

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION

Radio frequencies:

AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:

AM: 530, 540 – 1700, 1710 kHz

FM: 87.7, 87.9 – 107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio reception factors:

There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
• Distance/strength: The further you travel from a station, the weaker

the signal and the weaker the reception.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,

traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal

may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.

Cassette/player care

Do:
• Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a pen or pencil into the hole and

turning the hub.

• Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
• Allow tapes which have been subjected to extreme heat, humidity or

cold to reach a moderate temperature before playing.

• Clean the cassette player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after

10–12 hours of play to maintain good sound/operation.

Don’t:
• Use cassettes that are longer than 90 minutes.
• Expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme humidity, heat or cold.
• Leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not being

played.
