IF BAND SWITCH
When the power is on, the indicator will light up, according
to the position of the WIDE/NARROW selector switch.
Press this switch to set the unit to the 'NARROW] position. The
corresponding indicator will light up when the switch is pressed.
Use the WIDE switch for normal! reception, and use the NARROW
position only when there is reception interference from neighbor-
ing stations This switch only switches the bandwidth of the FM
IF section.
The frequencies will be programmed together into the memory in
the WIDE/NARROW modes.
PGM REC BUTTON (FOR RECORDING DIFFERENT
STATIONS WHILE YOU ARE OUT)
This function allows you to make recording reservations for up
to six different AM or FM stations while you are away.
Storing station selections
Press the PGM REC button to light the PGM REC LED, then
press the MEMORY button; this causes the MEMO indicator to
light for about 5 seconds, Station reservations can be stored in
the turner's memory during these five seconds. Reservations can
be stored in any order for both AM and FM.
Example: 5 - Pi P
[Am3! [FM8}] [AM4} [AMS] [FM2]
To make reservations for six stations, press the PGM REC button
(the LED lights), followed by the MEMORY button (the MEMO
indicator lights).
1. Store[FM1]|, the first reservation. This is done by pressing the
FM button and [1 |.
2. The MEMO LED lights for continuing additional 5 seconds;
store the second reservation, [AM3]. This is done by pressing
\ the AM button, followed by [3 ].
6. Continue this sequence until up to six reservations have been
stored.
The MEMO indicator goes out immediately when the sixth re-
servation has been stored. To clear reservations from memory,
perform the sequence described above, but without storing any
reservations.
MONITOR BUTTON — CONFIRMING STATION RE-
SERVATIONS
Press the MONITOR button. This causes the [FM] ({AM]) lamp
to light together with the memory channel indicators in the
sequence in which stations were entered, allowing the PGM REC
reservations to be confirmed. Each program reservation is dis-
played for about 1 second before the confirmation function
moves on to the next one.
In the case of (the first selection), the reservation is in-
O
dicated by lighting the and Tay LEDs.
The LEDs stop lighting when the sixth (or last) program has been
displayed. If the MONITOR button is pressed after the third
Program reservation ([FM8]in an example) has been recorded,
the monitor function allows the remaining reservations to be
checked by lighting [AM4}, [AM5], and for the fourth,
fifth, and sixth reservations.
* With programmed recording, the first station reservation is
recorded when the power is turned on the first time, the second
is recorded when the power is turned on the second time, and
so forth.
Q3) MODE FM MUTING SWITCH
When this switch is pressed, the reception mode will switch to
monaural, and the muting will turn off. Pressing it again will
change the reception mode back to stereo, and the muting will
turn back on.
Switch not pressed: FM broadcasts will be received in stereo. The
reception mode will automatically switch to mono for monau-
ral broadcasts. —
In addition, the muting will be on, suppressing interstation
noise and making it easy to tune in the desired stations. How-
ever, the muting function will also tend to suppress the recep-
tion of weak stations.
Therefore, if you live in a fringe signal area, press this switch
and listen to the stations in mono.
Switch pressed: This will receive stereo broadcast in mono. Use
this position when reception noise is extensive or if you live in
a fringe signal area.
TUNING PROCEDURES
There are three methods of tuning this unit: preset tuning, auto-
matic tuning, and ordinary tuning.
PRESET TUNING
A total of 16 station frequencies (8 AM, MW or LW stations,
and 8 FM stations).
The procedure for storing frequencies in the tuner's memory is
as follows:
1. When storing FM frequencies, press the button: when
storing AM frequencies, press the [AM! button.
2. Tune in the desired station using the UP and DOWN tuning
button.
3. After the station has been tuned in, press the MEMORY
button.
4. The MEMO indicator will light when the MEMORY button
is pressed, and remains lit for about 5 seconds. .
5. While the MEMO indicator is lit, press any PRESET button.
6. The PRESET indicator LED corresponding to the preset
memory channel lights, indicating that the frequency has been
stored.
The FM reception mode (stereo or mono) is also stored when
storing FM frequencies,
For example:
When an FM frequency has been stored with the tuner in the
mono mode, selecting that station through preset tuning will
result in mono reception. However, once the station has been
tuned in, reception can be switched to stereo by pressing the
MODE FM MUTING switch. This does not affect the mode setting
In memory, and reception will be in mono the next time this
station is selected through preset tuning.
AUTOMATIC TUNING
When either of the tuning buttons is heid down for more than
0.5 seconds, the frequency is automatically raised or lowered
until a station is encountered; tuning then stops at the station's
exact frequency.
ORDINARY TUNING
