r. SIGNAL STRENGTH 111 III III III III Using the Signal Strength Meter The Signal Strength Meter provides a visual indication of the quality of the broadcast reception. A low reading correlates with noisy or intermittent reception. Repositioning your antenna may result in a higher reading and better sound. Poor reception along with a high meter reading indicates interference from another broadcast. Repositioning your antenna, or replacing it with a directional outdoor antenna, may or may not solve this problem. Using the Preset Buttons Your receiver allows you to store 16 station settings and quickly access them, using the 8 Preset buttons along with the Shift A-B button. The Preset stations are designated by the letter A or B, followed by a number from 1 to 8. Any designation may be used for any AM or FM station, in whatever combination you choose. To enter a station in memory: 1. Tune to the desired station. 2. Be sure Seek-Stereo setting is the one desired*. 3. Press the Shift A-B button to display the desired letter. 4. Press the Memory button. ("Preset" will flash for about 8 seconds.) 5. With "Preset" flashing, press the desired numbered Preset button. *NOTE: When a station is set in memory, the Seek-Stereo setting is also entered. Subsequently, each time a station is recalled using a Preset button, the tuner automatically switches to the original SeekStereo setting for that station. Memory Shift A-B To change a preset station: Simply enter the new station. The old station is automatically erased. To access a preset station: Press the Shift A-B button to display the correct letter. Then press the desired numbered Preset button. NOTE: Preset stations are stored indefinitely while the unit is connected to a live AC source, and for approximately 1 week when the unit is unplugged. Making Recordings To make a recording on either a tape deck or VCR, simply press the "Rec Out" button that corresponds to the piece of equipment you wish to record from. Output from this source will be supplied to both Tape 1 and Tape 2 devices, enabling you to record on either one, or both simultaneously. (a) To record from one tape device to another, press the Rec Out button corresponding to the source (play) device. (b) By selecting different sources for Function and Rec Out, you may listen to one audio or video component, while recording from another. (c) Make videotape recordings from TV, video disc player or second VCR in the same manner described above, simply by pressing the appropriate Rec Out button. With equipment installed as outlined in this booklet, both audio and video output is supplied to the VCR. NOTE: Be sure Video Defeat is turned Off when selecting a video source for playing or recording. Function Rec Out 1 - VCR/Tape - 2 I I I I 12
