Radio
Showing the “ o ld ” setting firs t allows
fo r reconsideration of the decision to
store. If it is desirable to leave the
“ o ld ” frequency in mem ory rather
than exchanging it w ith the “ new ”
one, quickly release the button. The
“ o ld " frequency will remain in me­
mory.
Any AM station can be stored
similarly on any button marked EZ3
through EZ3 .
Stereo reception
The stereo indicator symbol
lights up if a stereo program is
received.
The radio is equipped w ith an
autom atic ste re o /m o n o sw itch that
electronically sw itches to m ono fo r
clear reception if a weak signal is
received. A special circu it provides
fo r a smooth change-over rather than
a hard sudden sw itching, thereby
reducing noise and interference.
The stereo indicator will remain lit
even if the receiver has changed to
the mono mode and will turn o ff at an
antenna signal considered insufficient
to provide acceptable reception
quality.
