AUTOMATIC PRESET
Preset stations may also be programmed automatically for the entire FM (or
AM) band.
1
Toggle the [AM/FM/DB] button to select FM (or AM) band.
2
Press and hold the [MEMORY] button until the station frequency
indication begins to increase.
3
Release the button and note that the tuner will search the entire FM (or
AM) band, and stop briefly at each station that has acceptable signal
strength. The VISO THREE will automatically assign a preset number to
each station, and then search for the next station. Up to 30 of the best
received FM stations (or 30 AM stations) will be automatically stored.
DIRECT RECALL OF A PRESET NUMBER
You can directly recall a desired Preset number.
1
Toggle [ENTER] button to switch between “Preset” and “Tune” mode (see
the lower line of the VFD). Select “Preset” mode.
2
Using the numeric keys of the remote control, directly key-in your
desired Preset number. For example, to enter Preset 5, press “5”.
DELETING A STORED PRESET
You can empty a preset by deleting the stored information.
1
Select the preset number to be deleted.
2
While at the selected preset number, press the [DELETE] button.
3
The preset will then be deleted. “Delete” is briefly shown in lower line of
the VFD.
4
To clear all the Presets at the same time, repeat step 2 again but this
time do not release the [DELETE] button. Press and hold [DELETE]
button until the current Preset number shown in the VFD is
extinguished (P--). “Delete All” is briefly shown in lower line of the VFD.
All Presets are now deleted.
A Preset can also be deleted using the front panel [MENU] and [TONE]
buttons.
•
Delete a Preset: Press at the same time [MENU] and [TONE] buttons.
•
Delete all Presets: Press and hold at the same time [MENU] and
[TONE] buttons.
CHOOSING THE TUNER MODE
The VR 3’s [TUNER MODE] key is a dual-purpose control. Toggle [TUNER
MODE] to switch between “FM STEREO ON” and “FM STEREO OFF”. In the
normal position, “FM STEREO ON”, only the stations with a strong signal can
be listened to, and the noise between stations is muted.
Pressing the [TUNER MODE] button again (“FM STEREO OFF”) 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 USER NAMES
A particular Preset number can be assigned an eight-character “User
Name”. The assigned “User Name” will be shown in the VFD whenever the
associated Preset number is recalled.
ENTERING USER NAMES
To assign a Preset number with the user name “NEWS”, follow the procedure
as below.
1
Recall the desired Preset number.
2
Then, press and hold [INFO] of the VR 3 until the display shows a
flashing cursor point.
3
Use the [
] buttons to select the first character of the name (“N”
from the alphabetical list).
4
Press [ ] button to select the character and correspondingly move
forward to the next position. (Press [ ] to go back to the previous
character). Repeat this process for each character in sequence.
5
Press the [INFO] key to store the User Name and exit the text-entry
mode.
ABOUT RDS
The Radio Data System (RDS) permits sending small amounts of digital
information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The VISO THREE
supports two RDS modes, program-service name (PS mode) and radio-text
(RT mode). 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.
VIEW RDS TEXT
When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, the readout’s character
section will show its program-service name (PS) text:
FM��107.10M��P06
NAD�������������
Press the VR 3’s [INFO] button 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.
