USING THE RADIO
FM Mono/Stereo
When listening to the an FM broadcast, press the
"Mono/Stereo" selector button on the right side of
the Radio. In "Stereo" mode, the small LCD
displays "ST" and the main LCD displays
<symbol>. In "Mono" mode, the small LCD will not
display "ST", and the main LCD will display the
"Mono" symbol <symbol>.
Stereo:
you can use stereo earphones to listen to
stereo broadcasts, but the better the signal is, the
better the reception (and sound) will be.
Mono:
It is better to use Mono to receive weak
FM signals. If the signal is recieved and
maintained, you can switch to Stereo for better
sound quality. (The Radio receives Mono signals
better than Stereo signals)
NOTE:
You may prefer to listen to news in Mono,
and to listen to music in Stereo.
Local - Normal - Distant Selection
It is important to select proper sensitivity to
receive signals better. This Radio has 3 levels of
sensitivity:
Normal (NOR):
The middle range of the Radio's
sensitivity. This is the recommended setting.
Local (LO):
If local stations are very strong, they
may suffer from distortion or override other
stations. In that case, select LO to reduce
sensitivity and receive local stations more clearly.
Local stations that are more distant may be
"buried" in noise.
Distant (DX):
To receive SW or remote AM
stations, the DX position helps to receive weak or
noisy signals.
Narrow/Wide Bandwidth
When listening to AM/SW/LW broadcasts, press
<AM WIDE-NAR> to switch between wide or narrow
bandwidth.
Wide bandwidth offers better tone reception while
narrow bandwidth offers less noise on reception.
SSB (Single Sideband)/CW
1. With the Radio ON, enter the Menu and select
"Step" as the search method, then press <button
14> to enter SW band.
