pre-set memories on the band in use. After entering the
stations into memory, the unit will automatically stop at
each station for 5 seconds so each can be heard. If you
have already set the pre-set memories to your favorite
stations, activating the Auto-Store Tuning feature will
erase those stations and enter the new ones. This
feature is most useful when travelling in a new area
where you are not familiar with the local stations.

STATION PRE-SET MEMORIES

To set any of the 6 pre-set memories in each band, use
the following procedure:

1. Turn the radio on and select the desired band.
2. Select the first station to be pre-set using the

Automatic Up/Down

, or Manual Seek

Tuning

Controls.

3. Press and hold the pre-set button to be set for

approximately 2 seconds. The pre-set number will
appear on the display panel indicating that the station
is now set into that pre-set memory position. The
station can now be recalled at any time by pressing
that button.

4. Repeat the above procedure for the remaining 5

pre-sets on that band and for the other 3 bands
on the unit.

EQUALIZER (

EQ) BUTTON

The

EQ button applies preset sound effects to the unit’s

audio output signal.The

EQ button, when pressed, will

activate one of the following operating modes ( CLASSICS,
POP M, ROCK M, DSP OFF or FLAT). If the Equalizer
function is active, as momentarily displayed on the panel,
and the bass and/or treble level is set, the Equalizer
function reverts to the the FLAT setting. On the other hand,
if the Equalizer function is activated, the bass/treble
setting(s) are ignored. Conversely, when the Equalizer
function is not active, the unit returns to the user set bass
and treble levels.

STATION SCAN (

SCN) BUTTON

When this button is pressed during radio operation, each
station in the current band will be scanned in the upward
direction; each displayed station will flash for 5 seconds
before moving on to the next station. If the local mode is
active, only the stronger, nearby stations in the current
band will be scanned. When the desired station appears,
press the

SCN button again to remain on that frequency.

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel displays the
frequency, time and activated functions, including a
combination audio level/disc indicator in the form of dual

disc icons (

) with circular bar graphs depicting the

strength of the audio signal. In addition, the display also
contains a receive signal indicator which depicts the
relative strength of the incoming broadcast frequency.

NOTE:

It is a characteristic of LCD panels that, if
subjected to cold temperatures for an extended
period of time, they may take longer to illuminate
than under normal conditions. In addition,
the visibility of the numbers on the LCD may
slightly decrease. The LCD read-out will return
to normal when the temperature increases to
a normal range.

CASSETTE DOOR

Hold the cassette with the exposed tape edge to the right
and insert it fully into the cassette door until the cassette
is engaged and begins playing (TAPE will appear on the
display panel, together with three tape direction arrows).
When the cassette reaches the end on the side of the tape
being played, the unit will automatically change direction
of play as shown by reversal of the three tape direction
arrow indications on the display panel.
NOTE:

Observe cassette operation cautions in Care
and Maintenance section of this manual.

FAST-FORWARD/REWIND BUTTONS

)

These buttons cause the tape to move rapidly

in the direction indicated by the arrows. For example, if
the

button is pushed when the tape is moving from left

to right

(

on the display panel

)

, the tape will fast-

forward. If the

button is pressed while the tape is

moving from right to left

(

on the display panel), the

tape will rewind. To stop fast tape movement, lightly push
the opposite button. If the tape is allowed to fast-forward
or rewind all the way to the end, the tape will reverse and
automatically resume play.

PROGRAM SELECTOR

To manually reverse tape direction and play the other side
(program) of the cassette, lightly push both the Fast-
Forward and Rewind buttons (

and

) at the same

time. The change of direction will be shown by the arrows
on the display panel.

EJECT BUTTON (

Tape playback is stopped and the cassette is ejected by
pressing this button. Radio operation will automatically
resume when the cassette is ejected.

when not in use. Doing so can cause damage
to the cassette and/or mechanism of the unit.
Always press the eject button and remove
the cassette before removing the detachable
front panel.
