Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound Together with a center speaker mounted at the center of the dash, Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound offers much clearer and more realistic sound. Through a connection to a special decoder (optional on certain models), as well as a center speaker (option), the normal left-right stereo channels are divided into left-center- right. In addition, "surround" sound can be created from the car’s rear speakers. Most modern discs are recorded so that vocals are heard in the center foreground, while the orchestra is heard across the entire left-right range, as well as from behind.


A - Engaging Surround Sound Press the ‘MODE’ button to engage the center speaker and the surround unit. The mode selected will be displayed. "3 CH" = center speaker also engaged. "Dolby Pro Logic" = Dolby Pro Logic engaged with surround effect from rear speakers *.


B - Center speaker volume control First press the button in slightly to pop it out, then pull the button out completely and turn it to adjust the volume of the center speaker.

Audio systems, general information Cassettes • Store cassettes in their cases. • Do not touch the tape surface with your


fingers.


• Tapes should not be exposed to direct


sunlight or extreme temperatures.


• Keep tapes away from oil, grease and other


contaminants.


• For optimal tape deck performance Volvo


does not recommend the use of C-120
tapes.


• Take up slack using a pen or a pencil before


inserting a cassette in the cassette slot.


Cassette cleaning We recommend the use of the Volvo Cleaning Cassette available as a genuine Volvo accessory. Regular use improves sound quality, cleans vital parts and prevents tape tangle.


192


Compact disc care • Before using a new disc for the first time, remove any burrs in the center/outer edge by running the stem of a pen or similar object around the hole/edge of the disc.


• Use high quality discs only. • Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft,


clean, lint-free cloth, working from the center outwards. If necessary, dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroughly before using.


• Never use cleaning spray or antistatic


liquid. Use only cleaners specifically made for CD’s.


• Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs


should never be used).


• Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself. • Volvo does not recommend the use of


plastic outer rings on the disc.


• Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in cold winter weather. The disc can be dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD changer may, however, take up to one hour to dry off.


• Never attempt to play a disc which is


damaged in any way.


• When not in use, the discs should be stored


in their covers. Avoid storing discs in excessive heat, direct sunlight or dusty locations.


Audio systems, general information


Sending signals The FM waves do not follow the earth’s surface nor do they bounce off the atmosphere. For this reason their range is limited. The AM waves follow the earth’s surface and reflect against the atmosphere, giving them a wide range.


Weak reception (fading) Because of the limited range of the FM senders and the fact that these waves are very reflective, this problem usually occurs with FM reception. If the sender is blocked by buildings or mountains, static can result.


00AL0162


Static The reason why FM but not AM is audible in covered parking areas, under bridges, etc, is that FM signals reflect against solid objects such as buildings. Because these waves are very reflective, static can result. This static is the result of the reflected signal and the direct signal reaching your antenna at slightly different times causing a cancellation of all signals. This problem occurs largely in built- up areas. Your car is equipped with a dual antenna system which helps alleviate this problem.


193


Audio systems, general information


Cross modulation If you listen to a weak station in the vicinity of a stronger one, both stations may be received simultaneously. If the car is moved a short distance, the weaker signal may be heard more clearly.


FM - reasons for distortion FM is affected by the electrical systems of nearby vehicles, especially those without suppression. The distortion increases if the station is weak or poorly set. The FM reception is not as sensitive to electrical disturbance as AM.


AM - reasons for distortion AM reception is sensitive to electrical disturbances such as power lines, lightning, etc.


194


Audio systems, general information Diversity antenna (dual antenna system) Certain models are equipped with the optional Diversity dual antenna system. Two antennas are connected to the radio through two separate sockets, allowing for better reception and reducing the effects of static or multipath distortion of FM reception.


Radio antennas NOTE: Always lower the antenna when using an automatic car wash or entering a garage.


The antenna should be cleaned at least every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or more frequently if needed. Use WD40 for cleaning. Spray the antenna with WD40 and wipe it clean and dry with a rag. Spray it again. Lower and raise the antenna. Wipe it clean and dry again. Lower and raise the antenna 4-6 times. Make sure it is dry and free from dirt or lubricating oil.


FM stereo reception Stereo reception places very high demands on the signal quality which means the type of distortions previously mentioned become even more obvious. The signal strength needs to be stronger for good stereo reception and this limits the effective range of the sender. We hope that this information proves to be useful and provides you with a better understanding of the problems related to car radio reception. Reception conditions are not always optimum and this is, of course, beyond our control. However, we have endeavored to make the Volvo Audio System of a quality that will enable you to enjoy the best possible reception no matter what the reception conditions may be.
