CALL

 and

 on 

the remote control) to tune to the next higher or lower station 
stored in memory.

Or, press 

PRESET

 

SCAN

 to scan through the stations in 

memory. The receiver tunes to each station for about 5 seconds. 
When you hear the station you want to listen to, press 

PRESET

 

SCAN

 again.

You can also tune to a station in memory by using the remote 
control’s number buttons to enter the channel number. For 
single-digit channels, enter 

0

 first (for example, enter 

06

 for 

Channel 6).

Notes:

• To improve the reception of weak FM stations, press 

FM

 

MODE

This reduces signal noise, but you hear monaural instead of 
stereo sound.

• For stations with a weak signal, we recommend manual tuning.

ADJUSTING BALANCE

The 

BALANCE

 control lets you adjust the sound balance between 

the left and right speakers. If you properly position the speakers and 
your listening area is centered between them, the center control 
setting is usually best (see “Positioning Speakers” on Page 5).

For an unusual speaker placement, press 

AM

 to select the AM band 

or select any source and play a monaural audio source. Turn 

BALANCE

 until you hear the sound coming equally from each 

speaker when you are in the listening area.

MUTING THE RECEIVER

To temporarily mute the sound, press 

MUTING

 on the remote 

control. The MUTE indicator on the receiver flashes. Press 

MUTING

 

again to restore the audio level. The MUTE indicator turns off.

USING HEADPHONES

To listen with headphones (not supplied), insert the headphones’ 

1

-

inch plug into the receiver’s front panel 

PHONES

 jack. To silence the 

speakers and listen with headphones without disturbing others, 
press 

SPEAKERS

 

A

 and/or 

B

 so both indicators are off.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, note the following when using headphones.

• Set the volume to its lowest setting before you begin listening. 

After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable 
level.

• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-

volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your 

ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not 
cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

CASSETTE DECK FEATURES

You can connect a cassette deck to the receiver. Selecting 

TAPE 

MONITOR

 lets you hear the playback from the cassette deck you 

connected to the receiver’s 

TAPE MONITOR

 jacks.

Using the Tape Monitor Button

Press 

TAPE MONITOR

TAPE

 

MON

 appears, along with the last 

program source you selected. You can hear the playback or monitor 
a recording from the cassette deck you connected to the receiver’s 

TAPE MONITOR 

jacks.

The 

TAPE MONITOR REC 

jacks continue to output the previously 

selected sound source after you press 

TAPE MONITOR

.

To return to the previous source, press 

TAPE MONITOR

 again so 

TAPE

 

MON

 disappears.

Note:    

If you press 

TAPE MONITOR

 when that cassette deck is 

neither playing nor recording, the receiver mutes the current audio 
source. To hear the audio source, press 

TAPE MONITOR

 so 

TAPE

 

MON

 disappears.

Recording a Program Source

The receiver sends the audio of the program source you select—

TAPE MONITOR

AUX

,

 CD

FM/AM

 (tuner), or 

PHONO

—to the 

TAPE MONITOR REC

 jacks. The 

VOLUME

 control does not affect 

the level of the signal going to the tape decks.

When you record a program source using the cassette deck, you hear 
the program source’s signal immediately after you record it onto the 
tape, if the cassette deck you connected has a three-head monitor 
function. (Be sure to read the owner’s manual for your cassette deck.)

USING THE RESET BUTTON

If the receiver is subjected to a strong magnetic field or an electric 
shock, it might operate erratically. If this happens, turn off the 
receiver and press the rear panel 

RESET

 button with a straightened 

paperclip or other pointed object.

Caution:

 Pressing 

RESET

 clears everything stored in the receiver’s 

memory.
