Onkyo TX-26 - Memory and Recording Operations; Memory Function; Phonograph Record Playback; Tape Playback

2. Press the AUTO tuning switch [5] and confirm that both tape
monitor switches :8] are off.
3. Press the UP or DOWN tuning selector {6]. The tuned
frequency will continue to increase or decrease until a
sufficiently strong broadcast is reached. To move on to the
next broadcast, press either tuning selector again depending
on the direction in which you want to go.
4. To stop scanning during automatic tuning, press the
MANUAL tuning switch [5]. The frequency display will
immediately stop increasing or decreasing.
Memory Function
This unit can store up to 8 FM and 8 AM (a total of 16) stations
in the memory for instant recall at any time without using the
tuning selector. Read the following directions carefully to avoid
mistaken operations.
1. Confirm that both tape monitor switches are off, press
the TUNER input selector [9] and set the FM/AM selector
(is) to the band of the station to be placed in the memory.
2. Tune in the broadcast to be placed in the memory using
the tuning selector [6].
3. Depress the memory key [19] and, while the memory
indicator remains lit {about 5 seconds), depress one of the
preset keys [7].
4. When the preset key is depressed, the memory indicator
will go out and the indicator above the depressed preset key
will come on. The frequency currently shown in the
frequency display is now stored in the memory.
5. If the memory indicator goes out before you have depressed
one of the preset keys, simply press the memory key
again to give yourself another 5 seconds.
6. Placing another broadcast in the same memory channel
automatically cancels the station previously stored in that
channel. For example, if a 100.1 MHz station is stored using
the first FM/AM preset key and then a 105.1 MHz station is
stored using the first FM/AM preset key again, the
100.1 MHz station will be repiaced by the 105.1 MHz
station,
Notes Concerning Memory Operation
1. Preset frequencies can be transferred to other channels. For
example, the FM station stored by preset key number 6 can
be transferred to preset key number 1 in the following
manner.
1} Set the FM/AM selector switch to FM.
2) Press preset key number 6.
3) Press the memory key . (the memory indicator lights)
4) Press preset key number 1.
5) The same station is now stored by both preset keys 1
and 6.
2. When the power is turned off or when the power cord is
unplugged from the wall socket, the frequencies stored in
the memory will be preserved and the last tuned station will
be returned immediately when the power is turned on again.
For example, if 90.1 MHz was tuned in when the power was
turned off, the frequency displayed when the power is turned
on again will still be 90.1 MHz.
Phonograph Records
1. Connect the turntable to the PHONO itnputs and connect the
phono ground wire to the ground terminal.
2. Press the PHONO input selector switch [9] and confirm that
both tape monitor switches [8] are off.
3. Foliaw turntable operating instructions.
4. Adjust the volume, tone and other controls as desired.
Tape Playback
1. Connect the output leads from the tape deck to the TAPE-1
or 2 PLAY inputs.
2. Press the TAPE-1 or TAPE-2 tape monitor switch
depending on which pair of TAPE PLAY inputs the deck is
connected to.
3. Follow tape deck operating instructions for playback.
4. Adjust the volume, tone and other controls as desired.
Tape Recording of Radio Programs or Phonograph Records
1. Make all connections between the tape deck and the unit
as shown in the System Connections Diagram.
2. Radio: Press the TUNER input selector switch [9] and
set the FM/AM selector to FM or AM.
Records: Press the PHONO input selector switch [9].
3. Put the tape deck in the recording mode. The recording can
be monitored through the speakers or headphones as desired.
Turn on the corresponding tape monitor switch to hear the
signal that, having been recorded, is returnec from the deck
to the TX-36/26 (if the deck has three heads).
Tape-to-Tape Duplicating
1. Connect two tape decks to the unit as shown in the System
Connections Diagram.
2. Load the original tape in tape deck 1 and the blank tape in
tape deck 2.
3. Press tape monitor switches 1 and 2 [8] (both indicators
light).
4, Put tape deck 1 in the playback mode and tape deck 2 in
the recording mode. Follow tape deck operating
instructions,
5. The recording can be monitored through the speakers or
headphones. If tape deck 2 has three heads, the just-recorded
signal can be monitored.
Set the proper recording level using the controls on the tape
deck used for recording. Also, during recording and dubbing
operations, never change the positions of any switches on the
TX-26/36.
e APR (Automatic Precision Reception) System
This unit is equipped with Onkyo’s unique APR system that
automatically controls the stereo/mono reception modes,
antenna input DX/local setting (TX-36 only) and FM auto
hi-blend function according to the quality (signai strength,
distortion, etc.) of the signal currently being received.
Consequently, optimum reception (the lowest distortion and
highest S/N ratio) is assured at all times.
The FM mute/mode switch {!4 should normally be left in the
ON(STEREO) (MB) position. Set to the OFF(MONO) (a:
position only to receive weak FM stations that are suppressed
by the muting circuitry. In this setting, even stereo broadcasts
will be received in the monaural made (the stereo indicator [21]
will remain off) and the APR stereo/mono selection function
will not operate. The FM tuning level switch 15] is also linked
to the APR system. Therefore, the position of this switch
determines the signal strength jevel at which APR will switch the
reception mode between stereo and mono {when the FM mute/
mode switch is in the ON(STEREO) position).
re
® Key Touch Tone (TX-36 only)
A gentie beep is emitted to confirm when a Tuning control is
used. A rear panel switch is provided to let you turn this
tone on and off as required.
