There are two basic typ es of rad io signals... AM or
Amplitude Mod ulation, in which the transm itted sou nd
causes the amplitude, or height, of the rad io waves to
vary... and FM or Frequ ency Mod ulation, in which the
frequ ency of the wave is varied to carry the sou nd .

Electrical Disturbances
Radio waves may pick up electrical distu rbances during
transm ission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude,
and thu s rem ain a part of the AM recep tion. They
interfere very little with the frequ ency variations that
carry the FM signal.
CASSETTE TAPE AND PLAYER MAINTENANCE
To keep the cassette tap es and player in good cond ition,
take the follow ing precau tions:
AM Reception
1.
sou nd quality and tap e durability will be greatly dimin-
ished .
Do not use cassette tap es longer than C-90; otherw ise,
AM sou nd is based on wave amplitude, so AM recep tion
can be disru pted by such things as lightning, power lines
and neon signs.
2.
slackness and dust when it is not in use.
Keep the cassette tap e in its case to protect from
FM Reception
Because FM transm ission is based on frequ ency varia-
tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations
can be filtered out, leaving the recep tion relatively clear,
which is the major featu re of FM rad io.
3.
and magnetic fields such as the rad io speakers.
Keep the cassette tap e away from direct sunlight, heat
