How
to
use the Sequential station
call function
This tuner has a sequential station call function for
automatic preset station selection. 3 different sta-
tions
can be memorized and then recalled when
the
tuner's
power
is
turned
on with the optional
Akai audio timer. This function can
be
used effec-
tively during absentee recording.
Turn on the power of
all the components con-
nected to the
optional Akai audio timer.
2 Memorize the stations that you want to record at
PRESET
STATION numbers
20,19
and 18.
3 Prepare for sequential station call by pressing
the
10/20
button
of
the
PRESET STATION
button
twice
to tune in the memorized station
number
20.
4 Turn off the power with the timer mode button of
the audio timer. Power of
all components will
be
turned off and then turned on again at the time
that the Akai audio timer has been programmed
for. (For operation details,
please refer to the
audio timer's operator's
manual.)
Notes
•
In
order for the sequential function to work prop-
erly, 3 stations must
be
memorized at PRESET
STATION numbers
20,19
and 18.
• During absentee recording, sequential recall of
preset stations begins with the station memo-
rized at
PRESET
STATION number
20
and then
continues with the stations at PRESET
STATION
numbers
19
and 18.
• If you are
only
planning to record one station
during absentee recording it is not necessary to
use the
sequential station call function. Memo-
rize the station you want to record at one of the
PRESET
STATION numbers between 1 and
17
and
use
the last station memory
function
to
recall the station.
• When the power is turned
on
after the third time,
the
tuner
will
automatically
tune
in PRESET
STATION number 18.
Last station memory
This tuner has built-in last station memory. When
the tuner's power is turned off, the tuning frequen-
cy,
band,
and tuning
mode
of the station at the last
preset
station button you have
pressed
will
be
memorized in the memory system of
the
micro-
computer.
When the power
is
turned
on again
(manually or with
an
audio timer), the tuner is auto-
matically set to that station. This function is useful
if you have a favorite station that you often listen
to,
as it saves having to tune that station in repeatedly.
This
function can also
be
used to recall a station
during absentee recording.
