DELETING A STORED PRESET
You can empty a preset by deleting the stored information.
1
Select the preset number to be emptied.
2
First press the DISPLAY button and hold it in. While holding in the DISPLAY button press the SETUP/
MEMORY button for about one half second, then release the SETUP/MEMORY button.
3
The preset will then be deleted and “DELETED” scrolls on the display.
4
To clear all the Presets at the same time, repeat step 2 again but this time do not release the
SETUP/MEMORY button. Hold down both buttons until the current Preset number shown in the
VFD is extinguished. All Presets are now deleted.
CHOOSING FM MUTE/MODE
The front-panel ‘FM MUTE/MODE’ key is a dual-purpose control. In the normal position, “ST” and
“MUTE” icons on the VFD are lit; only the stations with a strong signal can be listened to, and the noise
between stations is muted.
Pressing the “FM MUTE/MODE” button again (“ST” and “MUTE” icons on the VFD are extinguished)
allows distant and potentially noisy stations to be received. Noise is reduced if the FM station signal
level is less than the FM Stereo threshold (since mono FM is inherently less noise-prone) though at the
sacrifice of the stereo effect.
ABOUT RDS
The Radio Data System (RDS) permits compatible tuners to display text determined by the broadcaster.
The L 54 supports two RDS modes, station-name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT mode). However, not
every FM station incorporates RDS in its broadcast signal. In most areas you will find from one to
several RDS-enabled stations, but it is by no means impossible that your favorite stations will not be
broadcasting RDS data.
VIEWING RDS TEXT
When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, after a brief delay the “RDS” symbol will light in the
L 54’s front panel readout and the readout’s character section will show its station-name (PS) text:
“ROCK101,”for example.
Press the front panel DISPLAY key to toggle the readout between this and the station’s radio-text (RT)
readout, if any, which might scroll song- or artist-name or any other text of the station’s choosing.
