1986 MODEL RADIO


For 1986, Peugeot introduces a high quality, upscale AM/FM stereo cassette radio manufactured exclusively for Peugeot by Alpine, a company with a record for the highest standards of quality in the industry.

The Alpine AM/FM stereo cassette radio is standard on all S, STI, and Turbo models for 1986 and MAY ALSO BE INSTALLED IN 1985 MODELS AS OUTLINED IN THIS BULLETIN. The faceplate and back lighting have been carefully designed to match and blend with the dashboard buttons and controls, with a handsome European look.

Performance of the 20 watts per channel stereo system is further enhanced by six new speakers. The front kick panel and rear speakers are larger for noticeably improved bass response. Newly added tweeters mounted on top of the dashboard aim the high frequency sound more directly at the listener, rather than down at the carpeting where it is absorbed.

Service technicians will be delighted by its easy snap-in mount which requires no special tools, minimizing the possibility of dashboard damage due to theft.

To help insure that the tape mechanism functions properly, the finest tape cleaning cassette, manufactured by ALLSOP, is included in the glove compartment on these models. Please be sure that your personnel advise customers to utilize this tape cleaning cassette. DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME THAT THE TAPE DECK IS DEFECTIVE IF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ARE RECEIVED.

Normal tape usage will cause the deposit of slight amounts of oxide on the playback head, capstan and pinch roller, resulting in a gradual LOSS OF HIGH FREQUENCY RESPONSE AND ULTIMATELY DISTORTION.

The tape cleaning cassette should be used to remove the oxide buildup after each 15 hours of accumulated tape playing time, according to the instructions included in the kit.

This ALLSOP tape cleaning cassette is available at most car and home stereo outlets.
