FM Stereo and Mono Reception

When an FM signal is tuned in, setting the BAND selector (4) to the FM ST position will enable the broadcasting to be received in stereo sound. The FM Stereo indicator (16) will light up.

Two hand-drawn diagrams showing a mechanical or electrical component being held, with no text or symbols present.

- Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.

- Never use chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays, benzine, or thinners to clean compact discs. These chemicals can irreparably damage the disc's surface.
