ADJUSTMENT OF FM MODULATOR OUTPUT FREQUENCY

lIf there is interference from a local station or a clear signal cannot be obtained on 89.1 MHz., change the position of the frequency select switch on the side of the FM Modulator and tune the radio to 88.7 MHz. when using the CD changer.

lSelect the frequency before mounting the FM Modulator.

lRadio sensitivity may be slightly reduced when the FM Modulator is connected.

ADJUSTMENT OF FM MODULATOR AUDIO LEVEL

The audio level from the modulator is factory-set to provide the correct volume balance between radio and CD changer in the majority of installations and usually will not require any adjustment. If, however, a large difference in volume level is noted when switching between CD changer and FM radio operation, the audio level from the CD changer may be adjusted as follows:

1.With the CD changer off, tune to an FM station and adjust the volume control on the radio to a normal listening level.

2.Leaving the volume control at the setting, turn on the CD changer and tune the radio to the modulator output frequency (89.1 or 88.7 MHz.).

3.Select a LOUD section of the CD. If the volume level is comparable to that of the FM station in step 1, no adjustment is necessary. If it is noticeably louder or more quiet than that of the radio station, use a # 0 Phillips screwdriver to adjust the "AUDIO LEVEL" control on the modulator so that the CD changer volume is comparable to that of the radio station.

IMPORTANT: If the modulator audio level is adjusted too high, it may result in unacceptable levels of distortion during loud sections of CD's. If set too low, it may result in poor signal/noise levels during CD changer operation.
