Philips AC 914 - Page 7

a) TUNING
You tune to a transmitter with
tuning buttons A or V. The
frequency indication on the
display makes steps of 1 kHz
on MW and LW and of 25 kHz
on FM.
— If you briefly depress one of
the buttons A or V, the
frequency goes one step up or
down.
— If you continue to depress
one of the buttons, the band
is searched quickly after 1
second until you release the
button.
— When the highest frequency
is reached (e.g. 108 MHz on
U-FM) the radio automatically
switches over to the lowest
frequency (87,50 MHz) and
vice versa.
— Additional possibility for
MCC programming
in order to reach the vicinity of
the desired transmitter
frequency very fast you
depress both buttons A and V
simultaneously. Accurate
tuning is achieved by repeated
brief depressing of either A or
V buttons.
_ If you continue to depress both
buttons simultaneously the
entire U-FM band is searched
within 6 seconds.
Above the highest frequency
(108 MHz) and below the
lowest frequency (87,50 MHz)
the display shows '0000’. Fast
tuning stops for 1 second at
0000’ during continuous
depressing.
Note: This 0000’ should be
programmed at those memory
locations for which no
frequencies of the same
programme are available.
b) SEARCH
Automatic searching and
tuning into transmitters on all
wave ranges can be operated
in two ways:
— By means of the co-supplied
switch (remote control) which
can be mounted within
immediate reach.
— By simultaneously
depressing buttons A and V.
The radio searches for the first
acceptable transmitter.
During search the audio signal
is Suppressed so as to avoid
annoying noise.
— The search action starts
from the frequency to which
the radio is set.
— The frequencies run up in
steps of 50 kHz for FM and 9
kHz for LW and MW.
— Ifthe programme of the new
transmitter is suitable, depress
the button(s) once again and
the search action is restarted.
When the highest frequency is
reached the radio
automatically switches to the
lowest frequency and
continues the search action.
— Transmitter search takes
place at two sensitivity levels.
The search action starts at the
low sensitivity level so that only
strong transmitters will be
tuned in to.
— It may occur that none of
the transmitters offers a
programme desired by you. If
all the frequencies of the band
ENGLISH
have been scanned after a
number of search actions, the
radio automatically switches to
the high sensitivity level. The
frequency band is scanned
once again. Now both strong
and weak transmitters will be
tuned in to.
The radio remains at this level
until another operation is
performed, like depressing a
preset (P-button), depressing a
U-FM, M or L button or one of
the tuning buttons (A or V), or
when the radio is switched off.
Remark: If the radio is in the
INFO mode (only in case of
MCC or U-FM), only
transmitters with traffic
information are selected during
a search action.
