the CHARACTER button to advance
to the next digit.
When all eight digits have been
programmed, press the MEMORY
button (#3), then select a memory
location ( 1- 30) using the NUMERIC
buttons (#17).
The name may be called up at any
time by pressing the DISPLAY button.
8. TUNING/SELECT KNOB
This knob has a number of functions,
although it’s primary use is to select
stations. In normal use, turn the knob
in either direction to move through
the selected band to find a station.
When the “TUNED” indicator lights,
the station is properly locked in.
In addition to standard tuning, a
number of automated tuning methods
are available:
•
In the FM mode, when the
AUTO/MAN button (#13) is
pressed so that the “AUTO”
indicator is illuminated, turning the
tuning knob will cause the tuner to
scan higher frequencies when
moved clockwise and lower
frequencies when moved
counterclockwise. The tuner will
stop at the first station that has
sufficient signal to be properly
tuned. Turn the knob again to
tune to the next available station.
Note that when the RDS system is
turned on, the tuner will only stop
at stations transmitting RDS data
but it will pause briefly without
stopping at all other stations that
may be received if the RDS
system is turned off.
•
When the TUNE/PST button is
pressed so that the “PRESET”
indicator is illuminated, turning the
tuning knob will move the tuner
up or down through the stations
programmed into the unit’s
memory. When the desired preset
station number appears, press the
button to view the station’s
frequency.
As described above, the
Tuning/Select Knob also functions as
a selector for the PTY (#6) and
CHARACTER (#7) functions.
9. BAND BUTTON
Each time this button is pressed the
frequency band being tuned is
changed in the following order:
10. FM MODE BUTTON
Pressing this button changes mode of
FM reception.
•
When the button is pressed so
that the red “STEREO” indicator is
illuminated, the unit will tune to
FM stations broadcasting a stereo
signal.
•
When the button is pressed so
that the “STEREO” indicator is not
lit, the unit will tune to all FM
stations. When a stereo signal is
tuned in the mono mode, the left
and right channel signals are
mixed together and sent to both
channels.
NOTE: When experiencing weak or
noisy reception of a stereo broadcast,
reception quality may be improved by
pressing the FM MODE button to
switch to mono.
11. RF MODE BUTTON (FM
TUNING ONLY)
Pressing this button adjusts the tuner
to compensate for RF intermodulation
noise caused by interference from
other stations in your area.
•
In urban areas where reception is
strong and there are many
stations, press the button until
“LOCAL” indicator is illuminated.
This will reduce intermodulation
noise and provide better sound
quality.
•
When tuning distant stations
press the button so that the
“LOCAL” indicator is not lit. This
improves the tuner’s ability to
receive weak signals with lower
noise.
12. IF BAND BUTTON (FM
TUNING ONLY)
Pressing this button changes the
pass band of the intermediate
frequency to compensate for
interference from adjacent stations.
•
NARROW: When reception is
disturbed by interference from
other stations, press the IF BAND
button until the “NARROW”
indicator is lit. This improves
reception.
•
WIDE: For normal reception, press
the IF BAND so that the
“NARROW” button is not lit.
13. AUTO/MANUAL SWITCH
Pressing this button so that the
“AUTO” indicator is illuminated
engages the automatic tuning
system. When in the “AUTO” mode,
turning the Tuning Knob (#8) causes
the tuner to scan to the next available
station and stop. Turn the Tuning
Knob again to continue through the
frequency band to another station.
14. TUNE/PST BUTTON
Pressing this button so that the
“PRESET” indicator is illuminated
allows tuning through the preset
stations in ascending or descending
order using the tuning knob (#8).
When the button is pressed so that
the “PRESET” indicator is not lit,
tuning is manual.
