source that you connect. You can select a source for either listening or recording.

TAPE 2 Listen to the tape deck connected to the TAPE 2 jacks.
FM* Listen to an FM broadcast.
AM* Listen to an AM broadcast.
IMPORTANT! The VIDEO SOUND/TAPE 2 button has a different function from
other source selector buttons, because it allows you fo monitor the quality of the
recording. For more details, see Monitoring below.
NOTE: On the remote, when you press one of the SOURCE buttons marked above with
an asterisk, the receiver automatically turns ON (even if it was OFF before).
Recording
The source being played is automatically selected as the source tobe recorded. While recording,
you can listen to the selected source at any desired volume and tone settings.
NOTE: Volume and Tone adjustments and the surround sound effect do not affect
recording.
IMPORTANT! When recording from TAPE 2 to TAPE 1, press the VIDEO SOUND/
TAPE 2 button and another button other than TAPE 1.
Using the Monitor feature, you can compare the sound quality of the source to the sound quality
of the recording being made.
To use the Monitor feature while recording onto a cassette deck connected to the TAPE 2 jacks,
follow these steps:
Step 1 Press the VIDEO SOUND/TAPE 2 button.
The “TAPE 2 MONITOR” light appears and you can listen to the sound of the cassette
deck connected to the TAPE 2 jacks. You are now hearing the quality of the recording,
not the quality of the source.
Step 2 Press the VIDEO SOUND/TAPE 2 button again.
This turns off the “TAPE 2 MONITOR” light, and the speakers play the previously
selected source.
NOTE: If the cassette deck has three heads, you can hear the sound of the recording at
the same time as it records on the tape.
Receiving an AM/FM Broadcast
Manual Tuning
Automatic Tuning
To receive an AM/FM broadcast, select either AM or FM using the AM button or FM button.
Then tune to the precise frequency using the TUNING buttons.
Tuning
Tune to the frequency of a desired station using the TUNING buttons. Pressing the right button
increases the frequency, and pressing the left button decreases the frequency. Tapping the
TUNING button once changes the frequency in steps of 10 kHz for AM and 0.1 MHz for FM.
There are two tuning modes: Manual and Automatic.
If you know the frequency of a desired station, hold down the TUNING button to start the
frequency changing quickly. Release the TUNING button near the desired station and tap it
repeatedly until you arrive at the correct frequency.
If you want to scan frequencies for a desired station, hold down the TUNING button to start the
frequency changing quickly. When you release the TUNING button, the frequency continues
to change until it reaches a station,
When a station is correctly tuned, the “TUNED” light appears on the display window.
Once a tuned frequency is preset, it can be directly recalled using the TUNER buttons. For
details, see page 14.
NOTE: When you use automatic tuning, weak stations are ignored. To pick up weak
Stations, use manual tuning.
IMPORTANT! If the receiver is tuned to a station but the “TUNED” light does not
appear, try rotating the antenna for better reception.
Selecting an FM Reception Mode
Pressing the FM MODE/MUTE switch switches between these modes.
The “MUTE-AUTO” light appears on the display window. You hear either stereo sound or
monaural sound, depending on the broadcast. If it is a stereo broadcast, the “STEREO” light
appears. This mode is also useful for suppressing static “noise” between stations.
The “MUTE-AUTO” light disappears. You hear monaural sound even if a broadcast is in
stereo. This mode is also useful when a stereo broadcast is noisy because of a weak signal.
NOTE: Using the Automatic Tuning mode, the sound of a broadcast with a weak signal
may be muted. In this case, select the monaural mode.
