OPERATION
RECEIVING BROADCASTS
This section describes various ways in which to receive radio broadcasts.
Before attempting these operations be sure to connect the necessary AM or
FM aerials.
1. Press the POWER button to turn on the tuner.
2. Press BAND to select either FM, MW or LW (FM or AM for US version).
MANUAL TUNING
To manually tune to a station that you know the frequency of:-
1. Press MODE on the front panel so that the preset indicator is off.
2. Turn the ROTARY CONTROL KNOB clockwise to tune higher
frequencies or anti-clockwise to tune lower frequencies. As you approach
the desired station the CENTRE TUNING INDICATOR will help you to
obtain the station’s best performance. An arrow head pointing to the left
or right shows the correct way to turn the rotary control knob to obtain the
exact tuning of the station. When correctly tuned the arrows disappear
to be replaced by a single block. The LOCKED indicator will also
illuminate indicating optimum tuning.
The LOCKED indicator may not illuminate if the signal is too weak. The
signal strength of a station is shown by the number of bars on the SIGNAL
strength indicator. The greater the signal strength the more bars will be
visible. Adjusting the aerial position will maximise the signal strength.
AUTO TUNING
To automatically search a waveband for stations:-
Press the SCAN >> to tune up or << to tune down the frequency band.
When the tuner finds a station of sufficient strength the automatic tuning will
stop at that station and the LOCKED indicator will illuminate.
If the station where tuning stops is not desired press the SCAN button again
until the station you require is found.
STORING STATIONS IN THE PRESET MEMORY
The T-Series Tuner can memorise up to 29 of your favourite stations on FM
and MW (AM for US version) and 6 stations on LW.
1. Tune into the required station using either MANUAL or AUTO TUNE.
2. Press the STORE button. The STORE indicator will start flashing.
3. Turn the ROTARY CONTROL KNOB until the desired preset location
number is reached.
4. Hold down the STORE button until the STORE indicator stops flashing.
The station will now be stored in the location number displayed on the right
hand side of the display. When memorising stations the preset number will
automatically advance after each station is memorised.
When memorising a station over a previously used preset number the old
station will be erased.
LISTENING TO PRESET STATIONS
1. Press the MODE button so that the preset indicator appears.
2. Select the desired preset station by turning the ROTARY CONTROL
KNOB.
MULTIPATH INDICATOR
Illumination of the MP symbol is an indication that the tuner is receiving
multiple signals (Multipathing) of the same station which is likely to cause
unwanted background noise and distortion. A quality directional antenna will
generally overcome this occurrence.
AUTOMATIC BLEND CIRCUITRY
When receiving weak FM stations your T-Series Tuner will automatically
adjust stereo separation for reception with the least amount of background
noise. When this function is operational the STEREO and MONO indicators
are separated by a small illuminated diamond icon. If the signal is very weak
the tuner will switch automatically into MONO.
