ANTENNA Button
If antennas have been connected to both the A and B FM antenna
connectors on the rear panel, select the one with better sensitivity
using the ANT button, or the ANTENNA button on the remote
control.
The antenna A/B selection status will be memorized at the Preset
Station Buttons.
RF MODE Button
Each press switches between DX and LOCAL.
DX mode is for weaker, far away FM stations, while LOCAL mode
is for strong FM stations nearby. :
To achieve more precise tuning of a cable broadcasting
station when receiving a cable FM (TV) broadcast
(CABLE Button)
Use the UP or DOWN button to approximately locate the broad-
casting frequency in 50 kHz steps, then use the CABLE button to
turn off FM muting and set the tuning step to 25 kHz. The | CABLE
indicator will light up so that manual tuning of the broadcasting
frequency can be performed using the tuning selector button.
During 25 kHz tuning step mode, automatic tuning is disabled. The
conditions picked up during this Tuning Step Mode can be placed
in memory.
NOTE:
When the CABLE mode is cancelled, the tuning frequency returns
to 50 kHz step mode.
@ IF BAND Button
When FM stations are mixed or there is interference, this button
corrects
this
as
much
as
possible.
Each
press
switches
it
as
Examples:
100.125
>
100.100
MHz
follows:
WIDE/NARROW/S-NARROW.
100.175
»
100.150
Wide
mode
(WIDE)
is
selected
for
normal
reception.
Narrow
mode
100.100
»
100.100
(NARROW) or super narrow (S-NARROW) is selected when other
stations may be at frequencies that are close to the desired station.
HI-BLEND Button
Weak FM stations may exhibit noisy and hissy sound quality in
stereo mode. The high blend circuit blends only the highest
frequencies into mono, while the rest of the audio range remains in
stereo, with substantially reduced noise and hiss.
Each press switches between ON or OFF.
MODE Button
Each press of this button switches between monaural and stereo
(AUTO/MONO).
If an FM station with a very weak and noisy signal is received,
improve the situation by switching to monaural, even if itis a stereo
broadcast. When itis noisy, turning ON HI-BLEND is also effective.
APR Button and APR (Automatic Precision Reception)
System (FM only)
This
unit
is
equipped
with
ONKYO’s
unique
APR
system
that
automatically
controls
the
DX
and
local
RF
modes,
the
Auto
stereo/
Mono
reception
modes,
IF
bandwidth
wide/narrow/super
narrow
setting
and
FM
auto
hi-blend
circuit
according
to
the
quality
(signal
strength,
distortion,
etc.)
of
the
signa!
currently
being
received.
Consequently,
optimum
reception
(the
lowest
distortion
and
high-
est
S/N
ratio)
is
assured
at
all
times.
Note
that
the
APR
system
functions
only
during
FM
reception.
An
RF
mode
selector,
Auto
Stereo/Mono
Selector,
IF
bandwidth
selector
and
auto
hi-blend
selector
are
provided
to
allow
manually
overriding
these
four
APR
controlied
reception
modes.
If the station is retuned, or the APR button is pressed again
however, the original APR selected modes will be restored.
The APR system functions automatically when using the UP or
DOWN buttons, or direct tuning.
The APR settings are memorized when the station is memorized.
NOTES:
@ DYNAS Button
The DYNAS function is a system which enables clear reception of
FM stations that have interference which cannot be removed even
by S-NARROW in the FM station’s IF BAND. A signal interfered
with by the broadcast wave of an adjoining station, a signal mixed
with an adjoining noise, or a weak signal of a remote broadcast
station can all be received clearly.
Press the DYNAS button to make the following changes:
@ The RF MODE, IF BAND, and HI-BLEND displays will disap-
pear, and those buttons will be disabled.
Pressing the DYNAS button again will cancel the function.
@ When if is difficult to receive your desired broadcast station
because of too many interfering stations, the station becomes
monaural even if it is a stereo broadcast, and the stereo
indicator will go out.
© \fpreset memory is carried out when receiving with DYNAS, the
DYNAS mode is also preset.
