Got new used car with new used radio

Regarding balance and fade contols, which pop out for adjustment and
then can be pushed in, so that only a little sticks out:

"Adjust the balance (or fade, for the other button) and push the button
back in. The balance (or fade) will be displayed and continuously
updated while the button is pressed".

What does this mean?
Can you rotate the button with finger tip while pushing on it or when pushed in?

I went for a diver after I posted, and No, I couldnt' get a grip.

I googled "will be displayed and continuously updated while the button
is pressed" and didn't get any good hits. Maybe when the shop manual
arrives it will discuss this, but I very much doubt it. They never say
how the radio works, only how to remove it.

I guess the next stop is a Chrysler forum. I see all 3 Sebring Yahoo
lists have been dormant for almost 2 years, and I hate webforums, but I
will try a yahoo list and a forum. .



It's a simple digital control. When you push in and release the knob
pops out and you are adjusting whichever control you are moving. It will
display that adjustment as you are making it, then switch back to the
default display a couple seconds after you stop moving the control. For
instance if you are adjusting the balance the control, it just shifts
the input signals to the final amp to "move" the sound in the direction
you are turning the knob. Pushing it in does nothing except locks the
knob in place so you don't hit it by accident.

Same thing with the fader and bass/treble controls. Now if you have the
uplevel stereo it does have auto volume control that raises the volume
as speed increases but that's about it.

I hope you ordered the correct book, The Sebring is an interesting car.
First generation convertibles were built on a modified Mitsubishi
Galant platform but used components for the Talon while the coupes were
basically re-skinned Mitsubishi Eclipses.
The second generations were still Eclipses for the coupes but a Chrysler
platform was now used under the convertible and sedan.
The last models of sedan and convertible used a newer Chrysler platform.

It can get REAL interesting when you try to get parts if you forget to
say coupe, sedan or convertible. Plus the model year changes to the
drive train make it handy to know the build date...
