Loudspeaker terminals (g) SPEAKERS
See fig. 4 for connecting the supplied loudspeakers
(or others with an impedance of 8 Ohms). Connect
the coloured (or marked) wire to the coloured
terminal.

loudspeakers.
RADIO RECEPTION
• Switch on the set with POWER switch ©.
• Set the FUNCTION selector @ to RADIO.
• Adjust the sound with the controls VOLUME ©,
BALANCE ©and GRAPHIC EQUAUZER ©
• Select the wave band using the BAND selector®.
The radio display © shows the selected wave band
’FM’, 'MW’ (Medium Wave) or 'LW’ (Long Wave) and
the frequency in ’MHz’ (for FM) or 'kHz’ (for MW and
LW). (LW not on all versions).
- For FM, pull out the telescopic aerial. To improve
FM-reception, incline and turn the aerial. Reduce
its length if the FM-signal is too strong (very close
to a transmitter).
You may also push-in the telescopic aerial and
connect an external FM-aerial with an impedance
of 75 Ohms (or the Community or Cable Antenna
system) to the EXT. ANTENNA socket® (not on all
versions).
- For AM/MW and LW (Medium and Long Wave), the
set is provided with a built-in aerial, so there is no
need to use the telescopic aerial. The aerial can
be directed by turning the whole set.
• In case of FM-reception, set the FM MONO/STE¬
REO selector © to the desired position.
• Tune automatically, manually or by means of the
PRESET-buttons ’P1’...’P5’ to a radio station.
Automatic tuning
• Keep TUNING © V or A pressed until the
displayed frequency keeps on changing; then re¬
lease the button. The receiver stops when finding a
strong transmitter.
• If the transmitter found is not the desired one,
simply repeat this operation.
Manual tuning
Manual tuning is useful when you already know the
frequency of the desired transmitter (e.g. from your
programme guide).
• Keep TUNING @ V or A pressed until you
approach the required frequency.
• Then release the button and press it again quickly
and briefly; then the displayed frequency stops,
• Then press TUNING V or A briefly each time. In
this way the frequency is changed step-by-step until
finally the right frequency has been reached. One
step is 0.05 MHz (50 kHz) on FM, 9 or 10 kHz on MW
and 1 kHz on LW.
• When the FM STEREO indicator ^ lights up,
you are receiving a FM-stereo transmitter. A disturb¬
ing noise, due to a weak FM-stereo signal, can be
suppressed by setting the FM MONO/STEREO
selector ©to FM MONO. The FM STEREO indicator
® will then go out and you will hear (and record)
the FM programme in mono.
• Always switch off the set after use with POWER
switch ©.
PREFERRED TRANSMITTERS - PRE¬
SET
For each wave band you can store the frequencies
of 5 transmitters.
Storing transmitter frequencies
1. Select the wave band using the BAND selector ®
2. Using the TUNING V A buttons ©. tune either
automatically or manually to the frequency to be
stored. Programme guides often contain a list of
transmitter frequencies.
3. If you want to store the frequency shown, press
MEMORY©.
4. Now, press the desired PRESET button ’P1‘,.,’P5’,
The chosen PRESET-location is shown on the
display. The frequency is now stored.
• A stored frequency is only erased from the
memory by storing another frequency in its place.
• The contents of the memory will be kept (also if the
power supply is interrupted) until the RADIO PRESET
MEMORY batteries (fig, 2) are exhausted.
Tuning to a preselected transmitter
• Set the FUNCTION selector ® to RADIO.
• Select the wave band using the BAND selector ®
• In case of FM-reception, set the FM MONO/STE¬
REO selector ©to the desired position.
• Press the desired PRESET button ’P1’...’P5’. The
chosen PRESET-location is shown on the display.
• Always switch off the set after use with POWER
switch ©
