Notes on radio reception
Your car radio is subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic radio
sets. Both AM (MW/LW) and FM reception are subject to various forms
of interference. This is no refl ection
on the quality of the equipment, but
is due to the nature of the signals and
the way in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be
noticed when passing under high
voltage power lines or bridges, or in
tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result
of increasing distance from the trans-
mitter, defl ection of the signals by ob-
stacles (mountains, hills, buildings,
etc.), or of being in an area which is
not covered by a transmitter.

Notes on radio reception
Your car radio is subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic radio
sets. Both AM (MW/LW) and FM reception are subject to various forms
of interference. This is no refl ection
on the quality of the equipment, but
is due to the nature of the signals and
the way in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be
noticed when passing under high
voltage power lines or bridges, or in
tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result
of increasing distance from the trans-
mitter, defl ection of the signals by ob-
stacles (mountains, hills, buildings,
etc.), or of being in an area which is
not covered by a transmitter.
