To Receive Monophonic FM Broadcasts Depress the FM push button to turn the tuner on and to select the FM broadcast band. Tune to the desired station with the FM TUNING control. To insure proper tuning tune for minimum dark space between the green bars on the electronic tuning eye. Now depress the FM-AFC push button to retune the station by a ratio of ten to ene. AFC action will be discussed in a later paragraph. To Receive Stereophonic Simulcast AM-FM Broadcasts: Depress the AM push button to turn the tuner on and to select the AM broadcast band. Tune to the desired AM station wih the AM TUNING control. Depress the FM push button and turn the FM TUNING control to the same station you just selected on the AM band. You will now have the same station on AM and FM. Now depress the STEREO AM-FM push button to operate the AM and FM bands simultaneously. The AM portion of the simulcast should appear in one speaker and the FM portion in the other to recreate the stereophonic broadcast. AFC is automatically applied when the push button is in the STEREO AM-FM position. To Receive Stereophonic Multiplex Broadcasts: For this type reception the special Harman-Kardon MA350 multiplex adapter must be plugged into the receptacle provided for on the tuner chassis. Reception of FM Multiplex broadcasts using the Crosby multiplex method of transmission is uncomplicated. Most of the work is done for you by the ST350 tuner. Depress the FM push button and tune to the desired multiplex station. Tune for minimum deflection of the electronic tuning indicator. Now depress the STEREO MULTIPLEX push button and adjust the DIMENSION control (located on the lower lip of the front panel) for maximum stereo effect. You will note when this control is turned to the extreme counterclockwise position, monophonic reception results. As the DIMENSION control is turned in a clockwise direction, the stereophonic effect will be introduced and will reach a maximum. After reaching this point, the stereo effect will diminish, and the tonal character of the program will change. The setting for stereo effect is fairly broad and may vary for different stations. TECHNICAL EXPLANATION OF THE CONTROLS Push Button Selector Switch: This unique function selector switch has seven positions. 1. AM NOISE FILTER to eliminate extraneous noise for clear long distance reception. 2. AM selects the AM band for monophonic reception. 3. STEREO AM-FM selects both the AM and FM band for simulcast stereophonic reception. 4. STEREO MULTIPLEX selects stereophonic FM when the Model MA350 multiplex adapter is plugged into the tuner.
