The functions of the controls are shown
briefly in the display or as an illuminated
display while the function is active. Blinking
(possibly temporary) indicates that a func-
tion is ready for use. If a command entry is
incomplete, the CC4 automatically reverts
to its previous status.
@ For operation with the remote control
unit, set the address selector to “audio”,
with flap closed. Open flap by pressing
release button.
Station search
@ Using “on/standby” with the CC4 in
standby mode switches on and maintains
the status at the time of switching off. The
volume level is briefly displayed, and then
audio output is activated.
Use “on/standby” to switch off.
If VOO lights up after switching on, this
means that the CC4 was in mute mode
_ when switched off. Cancel muting by
pressing
e “nf”
You can also switch on by pressing one of
the audio source buttons “tv” “fm“ “am”
“tapel” “tape2” “phono” or “cd”, which
also activates the selected input. All other
controls retain their status at the time of
switching off.
The tape input can be selected on the
remote contro} unit by pressing “tape”
followed (within 3 secs) by "1" or “2".
The display shows the audio source or
received frequency (poss. with preset
station number), e.g. 94.40 P2, or the play-
back source on the left and the recording
source on the right, e.g. T1 FM.
Manual tuning
(on CC4 only)
On switching on after a longer period with-
out mains, power, all selectable functions
are disabled and ail controls set to middle or
zero. Only the “pre out1” output and the
two loudspeaker outputs (for an power
amplifier connected with a control cable)
are switched on. Sample display: 87.50 V40

For
use
press
(on
CC4
only)
@ “loudn.” to select loudness compensated
volume control (display: “loudn.”).
On the CC4 press
@ “out1" or “out2” to switch the audio’
signal to the power amplifier(s) connected
to the CC4. .
Using the remote control unit select the
loudspeaker pair connected with the power
amplifier (which is connected to the CC4 by
a control cable). Press
@ “speaker” (display e.g. SP1/2) and then
@ press “1” or “2” to enable/disable the
corresponding loudspeaker output.
On the unit, use the
@ “fm” or “am” buttons to select FM or
AM wavebands. Display:
e.g. 94.40 MHz, I (center tuning), HHI
(field strength display), stereo (if stereo
station is being received with adequate
quality).
Using the remote control unit, press
@ “fm” to select FM reception (repeating
toggles between FM and AM).
To tune to a particular station, activate
search on the unit by pressing
@ “auto tune+” or “auto tune—".
Using the remote control unit, press
@" pp" or” <<".
The search (with automatic muting) con-
tinues in the selected direction until the next
station with adequate reception quality and
center tuning position is located. Muting is
then cancelled. Repeat the process until you
locate the desired station. With the auto
tuning button continuously depressed it is
possible to tune near to the desired station
and then by repressing the button the —
station is tuned in.
If the button is not pressed, the direction of
search automatically reverses at each end of
the tuning range.
To select a specific frequency, hold the
@ “man.tune+” or “man.tune-” button
depressed until you are reach the target
frequency (tuning begins slowly and
switches automatically to fast). Then use
single-step tuning to set the exact
frequency. Tuning proceeds in 25 kHz steps
in FM, 9 kHz steps in AM. However, the
FM frequency display only shows multiples
of 10 kHz. The » or < arrows in the center
tuning display indicate the direction of tun-
ing required for centering until only is
shown. The field strength display shows:
strength of reception. It may be necessary
to tune off centre for optimal playback
quality. In AM band, only field strength is
shown. If a preset station frequency is
reached during tuning, the display shows
the preset memory number.
A station can be assigned to one of the 30
preset station memories for convenience in
tuning. When the display shows the station
frequency (e.g. 94.40 MHz stereo) press:
@ “memo” (display: 94.40 memo blinks for
3 secs). To select the station memory, press
or hold
@ “program »” or “< program” until the
desired memory number is displayed.
Display: (previous) frequency of the station
memory, e.g. 92.00 and P11 (station memory
number) or EMPTY P1. Repressing
@ “memo” transfer the previously tuned
frequency to the station memory number
displayed. Any previous entry is cleaned.
Display: 94.40 P1.
Further FM and AM stations can be stored
in this way up to a maximum of 30.
For optimal reception of FM stations,
if activated, “h.blend” (see “further
functions”) can also be stored.
