Loudness Control (LOUDNESS)
When listening at low volume levels, depress this
button to boost the very high and very low frequencies
to provide a more natural sound.
FM Tuning Level Switch and Indicator (TUNING
LEVEL)
This switch sets the FM muting level and Auto Stop
level to the high or low ievel. It should be set to the
position that gives the best results in your area.
HIGH: Only local stations will be heard.
LOW: Stations of lower signal strength will aiso
be heard.
To tune in stations suppressed even by the low setting,
switch the FM mute switch [16] to the OFF setting.
FM Tuning Level is alternately switched between HIGH
and LOW each time this Switch 's pressed.
Tuning Selectors (TUNING)
Press the UP selector to raise the tuned frequency and
the DOWN selector to lower the tuned frequency.
Using the Tuning Selectors (Manual Mode)
First, set the Auto/Manual tuning mode switch
to the manual tuning mode. Now, when the UP or
DOWN tuning selector is held down, the tuned fre-
quency will increase or decrease continuously. To tune
in a station, press either the UP or DOWN tuning se-
lector until you are near the frequency of the desired
station. Then, after releasing the tuning selector, press
again to change the frequency in single steps until the
desired station is precisely tuned. Pressing once
changes the frequency by 200kHz steps in the FM band
and by 10kHz steps in the AM band.
Using the Tuning Selectors (Auto Mode)
Set the Auto/Manual tuning mode switch to the
auto tuning mode. Then press the UP or DOWN tuning
selector; there is no need to keep the selector depressed
as in the manual tuning mode. The tuned frequency
will continue to increase or decrease until a broadcast
of sufficient strength is reached. To move on to the
next broadcast, press the UP or DOWN tuning selector
again. When the upper or lower end of the frequency
range is reached, the displayed frequency will auto-
matically switch back to the other end of the range
and continue to tncrease or decrease as before. For
example, when the DOWN tuning selector is pressed,
the frequency will decrease until the jowest frequency
is reached. The displayed frequency will then switch
back to the highest frequency and continue to decrease
as before.
1. When the DOWN tuning selector is pressed, the
tuned frequency will decrease until the lower limit
is reached.
2. Atthis point, the frequency will automatically switch
back to the upper limit and continue to decrease
as before.
Scanning will not stop for broadcasts weak enough
to be suppressed by the muting circuit. To receive a
weak FM broadcast, set the FM Mute switch to
the OFF pasition (FM mute indicator goes out) and
tune in the FM broadcast using the manual tuning
mode.
