Philips FW 80 - Tuner Tuning and Presets; Tuning Stations and Managing Presets

English
GENERAL _
• Select the tuner by pressing TUNER on the remote control
or by pressing PRESETa T 3, TUNING ◄ ► 4 or BAND 5 on
the tuner.
• Select a preset station.
• When a non-stored frequency is required, select the band by
pressing BAND 5 until the desired band appears on the dis¬
play and tune to a desired frequency.
The correct procedure is described in the following sections.
• When STEREO appears on the display, you are receiving an
FM-stereo transmitter. A disturbing noise, due to a weak
FM-stereo signal, can be suppressed by pressing MONO 8.
You will then hear the FM transmitter in mono.
TUNING __
• Select the tuning range with BAND 5. The tuner will auto¬
matically be selected as the active source.
• Press TUNING ◄ or ► 4 for more than 0.5 seconds and
release the key. The tuner will now search until a transmitter
of sufficient strength has been found. The display shows the
tuned frequency. The preset number is also displayed if the
frequency has already been stored.
• If the transmitter found is not the desired one, press TUN¬
ING ◄ or ► 4 again for more than 0.5 seconds.
Notes:
- The search tuning can be interrupted by pressing PRE-
SETAT 3, TUNING ◄ ► 4 or BAND 5.
- When the limit of the band is reached, a jump to the oppo¬
site limit is made and the search continues.
Tuning to weak transmitters
Weak transmitters are skipped during search tuning. They can
be tuned to as follows:
• Keep TUNING ◄ or ► 4 pressed until you approach the
required frequency.
• Press TUNING ◄ or ► for less than 0.5 seconds to change
the frequency one step each time until the right frequency
has been reached or until optimum reception is obtained.
Note:
- When tuning to a frequency that has been stored as a preset
station, the number appears on the display next to the fre¬
quency or station name.
PRESET STATIONS __
You can store 30 preferred stations in the memory of the tuner.
Selecting of preset stations
There are several options to select a preset station:
• On the tuner, press PRESET A ▼ 3 until the desired preset
station appears on the display.
• On the remote control, press NEXT or PREVIOUS until the
desired preset station appears on the display.
• On the remote control, press the numeric key combination
to form the desired preset number.
Example: to select preset number 25, press the numeric
keys 2 and 5 within two seconds (otherwise preset number
2 is selected). To select the preset number 1, 2 or 3, press
the numeric keys 01, 02 or 03, or press only 1, 2 or 3 and
wait for two seconds.
Notes:
- NO PRESET appears on the display when no presets are
stored in the memory or when a non-existent preset number
is selected.
- If a name is programmed for a preset station, the name is
displayed or the preset number and the frequency.
Automatic programming of preset stations
Thirty stations can be stored automatically in the memory as a
preset. The strong FM transmitters will be stored first and
afterwards, during a second scanning, the weak FM transmit¬
ters. If less than thirty stations are found on the FM band, the
unit will also scan the MW band (and if necessary the LW
band) to store preset stations in the rest of the memory loca¬
tions.
• Press AUTOPROG 13 for more than 1 second and then
release.
AUTOPROGRAM appears on the display. When a transmit¬
ter is found the frequency and the preset number are dis¬
played for two seconds. The scanning is finished when the
preset number 1 is displayed again (for more than two sec¬
onds).
• Press AUTOPROG 13 again if you want to interrupt the auto¬
matic programming. The first preset station will be selected.
Notes:
- This function will clear the old preset numbers (including
assigned station names and desired equalizer settings) when
the preset number is used to store a new frequency. If less
than thirty FM, MW or LW transmitters are found, the
remaining preset numbers will not be changed.
- It takes some time before the complete scanning is finished.
Manual programming of preset stations
• Press PROG 6 to enter the programming mode.
PROGRAM starts flashing on the display.
• Select the band and tune to the frequency to be stored (as
described under TUNING).
• Select the preset number (as described under Selecting of
preset stations) in which the frequency is to be stored.
• Press PROG 6 again.
The selected band and frequency are stored under the
selected preset number.
• Repeat this procedure to store other frequencies and pre¬
sets in the memory.
• You can clear a preset number by storing another frequency
in its place or by pressing CLEAR 7 in the programming
mode.
Notes:
- A stereo FM transmitter can be stored in mono by pressing
MONO 8 before selecting a preset number.
- When a new frequency is stored as a preset, the station
name and equalizer setting belonging to the old frequency
are cleared.
- If a preset number is cleared, it is no longer possible to
select this preset number except when programming in the
programming mode.
- The programming mode is left without storing anything
when STANDBY, AUTOPROG 13, TIMER/NEWS SET 9,
CLOCK SET 10 or any source selection key is pressed.
