11  PRESET/TUNE CONTROL KNOB:

 The function of this control knob 

depends upon the selected tuning mode via the PRESET/TUNE button. 
Toggle [PRESET/TUNE] button to switch between “Preset” and “Tune” 
mode.

a.  Preset mode:

 Rotate the PRESET/TUNE control to the left to scroll 

to a lower Preset number; rotate the PRESET/TUNE control to the 
right to scroll to a higher Preset number. This is a “wrap-around” 
function – upon reaching the last stored Preset number, preset 
search will continue on with the first stored Preset number and vice-
versa. Unused preset numbers are skipped over. 

b.  Tune mode:

 Rotate the PRESET/TUNE control in either direction 

for more than 1 second to engage automatic tuning. The tuner will 
stop at the next sufficiently strong signal it encounters. Note that 
this function “wraps” – that is, it will continue to search from one end 
of the AM or FM band to the other until it stops at a strong signal. 
Rotate the PRESET/TUNE control again for more than 1 second to 
start searching again. 

By briefly rotating the PRESET/TUNE control in either direction, manual 
tuning is engaged for precise tuning to a specific frequency. With each 
brief rotation, the tuner will take 0.05 MHz steps at FM band and 10 
kHz (120V version) or 9 kHz (230V version) at AM band. When tuned 
accurately to a station, “TUNED” will be illuminated in the VFD. The 
antenna bars displayed below the ANTENNA icon in the VFD reflects the 
signal strength of the tuned station. 

Automatic tuning is available on both AM and FM band.
