FM/AM Reception Automatic Tuning 1. Turn the "VOLUME" control knob to the minimum level and press the "POWER" switch. 2. Press the "speakers 1" switch and/or "speakers 2" switch for the desired speaker system(s). 3. Set the "FUNCTION" selector to the "fm" position for FM reception or the "FUNCTION" selector to the "am" position for AM reception. The "fm" or "am" FUNCTION indicator will light up and the STATION DISPLAY will indicate the FM or AM frequency. 4. Set the "TAPE MONITOR" selector to the "source" position. 5. Press the "auto" switch. It will illuminate in green. 6. Press either the "down" or "up" TUNING button to change the tuning frequency. To select a higher frequency than that indicated by the STATION DISPLAY, press the "up" button. To select a lower frequency, press the "down" button. The frequency changes until a broadcasted signal is tuned in, and the automatic scanning stops at that station. The "SIGNAL STRENGTH" indicator progressively illuminates according to the reception level, and the "TUNED" indicator will illuminate to indicate that the station is tuned in. When receiving an FM stereo broadcast, the "STEREO" indicator will illuminate automatically. 7. If the tuned frequency is not the desired broadcast station, press either the "up" or "down" button to resume automatic scanning. To scan rapidly without stopping at broadcast frequencies, continuously depress the "up" or "down" button When the button is released, the next strong broadcast will automatically be tuned in. 8. In an area with poor signal strength, the muting circuit may eliminate a desired station, and in this case, the "fm muting" switch should be depressed ("off" position). 9. When the desired station is selected, advance the "VOLUME" control knob to a comfortable level and adjust the "BASS" and "TREBLE" control knobs as desired. 10. Activate the "BALANCE" control knob, "bass turnover", "treble turnover", "tone defeat", "loudness" or "audio mode" switch if necessary. NOTE: When a broadcast is weak, automatic tuning to that frequency may not be possible. In this case, tune manually, as described in the following section. Manual Tuning Manual tuning is useful when the desired station is too weak to be picked up in the automatic tuning mode. 1. Turn the "VOLUME" control knob to the minimum level and press the "POWER" switch. 2. Press the "speakers 1" switch and/or "speakers 2" switch for the desired speaker system(s). 3. Set the "FUNCTION" selector to the "fm" position for FM reception or the "FUNCTION" selector to the "am" position for AM reception. The "fm" or "am" FUNCTION indicator will light up and the STATION DISPLAY will indicate the FM or AM frequency. 4. Set the "TAPE MONITOR" selector to the "source" position. 5. Press the "manual" switch. Irwin illuminate in green. 6. Press the "fm muting" switch to the "off" position, since a signal too weak for automatic tuning is also likely to be below the muting level. 7. Press the "audio mode" switch to the "mono" position, since a signal too weak for automatic tuning is also likely to be too weak for stereo separation. 8. Softly press either the "down" or "up" TUNING button to find the desired broadcasting station. The best tuning is obtained when many segments of the "SIGNAL STRENGTH" indicator light up. 9. When the desired station is selected, advance the "VOLUME" control knob to a comfortable level and adjust the "BASS" and "TREBLE" control knobs as desired. 10. Active the "BALANCE" control knob, "bass turnover", "treble turnover", "tone defeat" or "loudness" switch if necessary. Preset Memory This feature enables the selection of one of eight AM and eight FM broadcasts by simply pressing a "FM/AM PRESET MEMORY" button. In order to use this feature, broadcast frequencies must first be entered into the Preset Memory as follows: 1. Tune to the station to be memorized by using Automatic or Manual Tuning. 2. Press the "memory" switch. It will illuminate in green. While this switch is illuminated, press one of the "FM/AM PRESET MEMORY" buttons numbered 1 through 8. The button pressed will illuminate in green and that station will be entered in the preset memory. 3. To cancel a memorized station and memorize a new station at that number, tune to the frequency of the new station and follow step 2 above. The old station is automatically cleared, and the new station is memorized. NOTE: Since this unit is provided with a memory backup circuit, the memory contents will remain stored for about three weeks when power cord is unplugged from an AC outlet. If the memory contents are cleared (erased), the presetting procedure must be performed again. When the "memory" switch is pressed, the switch illuminates in green for about 12 seconds. The memory function will only work while the "memory" switch is illuminated. Last Station Memory Function This function "remembers" the frequency last received before changing bands (FM/AM). ► When changing the band from FM to AM and again to FM, the last received FM station will be tuned in. This function also "remembers" the frequency of the station last received. ► When the power is turned on, the frequency of the station last received is displayed by the STATION DISPLAY, regardless of whether the station is a preset one or not. 7
