How to operate the tuner FM reception characteristics In general, FM has much better tonal quality than AM. However, FM and FM stereo reception encounter several characteristic problems not encountered with AM. FM is more difficult to receive than AM in a moving vehicle. The following are explanatory notes on what to expect from FM reception and on how to get satisfactory performance.
Page 118: Reception Area Of Fm Broadcasts
How to operate the tuner Reception area of FM broadcasts A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals through the use of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive antenna. In a moving vehicle, the area for good reception is limited because of varying conditions encountered while driving, including the types and heights of broadcast antenna structures, signal strength, engine noise, etc.

Page 122: Time Alignment
How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode Time Alignment With vehicle audio systems, the installation position of the speakers and the position of the listener mean that the distances from the listener to the left and right speakers are almost always different. These differences in the distance from the listener to each speaker in turn means that the time taken for the sound to reach the listener is different for each speaker.
Page 123: Crossover
How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode Crossover The frequency band that is stored by audio media such as CDs is a fairly wide range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and it is difficult for a single speaker to be able to play back all frequencies in such a wide range.
Page 124 How to operate the Sound Adjustment Mode ● A low-pass filter (LPF) is a filter that cuts out frequencies that are higher than the specified frequency (treble range) and allows lower frequencies (bass range) to pass through. ● The slope is the signal level at which frequencies that are one octave higher or one octave lower are dampened.
