Panasonic RX-5080F - Listening to the Radio; FM AFC; Fine Tuning Control; Antennas

LISTENING TO THE RADIO
1) Set the Function Selector to “RADIO”.
@The Power/Battery Check Indicator will light.
2) Set the Band Selector to the desired radio band.
3) Set the Mode Selector to “AMBIENCE", “STEREO” or
“MONO”’.
4) Set the Volume Control for the desired sound level.
5) Tune in your favorite station using the Tuning Control.
Adjust the. Tuning Contro! for optimum sound quality by
observing which position lights the Tuning Indicator.
6) Adjust the Volume, Balance, Bass and Treble Controls.
7) The radio can be turned off by setting the Function Selector to
“POWER /TAPE”.
@ FM AFC
The Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) locks the tuned station
during FM and FM stereo reception. This assures additional stability
without frequency ‘drift’.
Notes:
@To receive FM stereo broadcasts, set the Mode Selector to
“AMBIENCE” or “STEREO”. The FM Stereo Indicator will
light during stereo broadcasts.
elf FM stereo reception is poor (excessive noise, FM Stereo
Indicator flickers), set the Mode Selector to “MONO”. This
will reduce the noise and provide clear reception; however,
the broadcast will not be heard in stereo.
@ Fine Tuning Control
For short-wave broadcasts, tune to the approximate frequency with
the Tuning Control, and then use the Fine Tuning Control for more
precise tuning.
Note:
When using the Tuning Control, be sure to set the Fine
Tuning Control pointer at the vertical position (‘'0’’).
@ Antennas:
FM:
@Pull out the Telescopic Antenna and adjust its length and angle for
optimum reception.
@To improve reception or receive very distant stations, connect an
FM antenna (FM dipole antenna, TV antenna) to the External
Antenna Terminals, as shown in the figure.
MW:
e@The sensitive ferrite core antenna inside the set will provide
excellent MW reception in most areas. For optimum reception, turn
the set in the direction which gives the best results since the ferrite
core antenna is directional.
SW:
Extend the Telescopic Antenna fully, keep it vertical.
@To improve reception, connect a length of wire, to serve as an
antenna, to the External Antenna Terminals, as shown in the
figure.
eWith the SW1 band, the built-in ferrite core antenna also has an
effect, and changing the direction of the set may improve reception
as with MW.
Note:
An antenna for SW bands can be constructed from a length of
wire. A long length of wire will provide better results; however,
a short length of wire is also suitable.
