Selecting monophonic or FM stereo broadcasts SELECTING MONOPHONIC OR FM STEREO BROADCASTS Under normal use for all FM broadcasts, the function Selector Switch should be placed in the AUTO FM position. Your system is equipped with a stereo sensing circuit which can automatically determine if your unit is receiving monophonic or stereophonic broadcasts, and then automatically adjust the mode of operation. If the station is transmitting stereo, your system will automatically switch in the multiplex section and you will hear the broadcast in full stereo. Should the station conclude broadcasting in stereo, your system will automatically switch back to monophonic reception. Should you receive a weak signal whose quality has been degraded by noise or poor signal conditions, and you wish to listen to this stereo broadcast, monophonically, place the function selector switch in the MONO FM position. 0 c5 UXIN R.

The purpose of these controls is to adjust the "acceptability level" of your automatic tuning system. If the signal strength of the incoming program is above this pre-set level it will be accepted by your automatic tuning system. If the signal strength of the incoming program is below this preset level it will be rejected by your automatic tuning system and will be passed over as automatic tuner goes thru the search process. If you wish to increase the number of stations accepted by your system, either AM or FM, even though it might be with decreased performance, simply rotate the appropriate level control in a counter-clockwise direction. QUADRAPHONIC RECEPTACLES These receptacles are intended for use with any accessory equipment designed to be installed between a preamplifier and power amplifier. This includes such equipment as electronic audio equalizers, reverberation units, and a new quadraphonic processor offered by Harman-Kardon. In order to make use of this facility, simply disconnect the two patch cords connected to these receptacles and follow the instructions supplied with the accessory equipment. NOTE: When no accessory equipment is being used, the two patch cords MUST be installed in order to use your Music System.
