touching strands at
either end. Make
sure the
power
switch is
in
its
off
position
and
plug
the Reference:650FETR
into
a
nearby
wall
outlet or
extension cord.
Whenever
you
move
the receiver or change
connections
on
the back
panel
make
certain
the
power
is
switched ofl.
Operating the Reference:650FETR
The front
panel
controls of
your
Reference
receiver
provide
tremendous flexibility when
used together.
Please
read this
section so
that
you
will understand how to
best use them. Before
starting, turn the volume
control counterclockwise to its minimum
oosition.
To
Receive
FM Broadcasts
1.
Set the far left
selector knob
to the FM
oosition.
2.
Set
the Tape
Mon
switch to Source
and the Mode
switch to
Sfereo.
3. Set Bass, Treble,
Presence,
and Balance
knobs
at their
center
(12
o'clock) settings.
4. Push
the
Speaker A button.
5.
Release
the Loudness
and FM Mufe
buttons.
6. Release
the Hl Fll/er
button.
Now
push
the
power
button
and slowly
advance
the Volume
knob. Tune
to the
desired station
until the Tuning
meter is in
its
center
position.
A
quick
check
of
the
stations
you
like
may
indicate
the need to reposition
the FM
antenna.
The
Signal Strength meter
can
be used tp
check the
effectiveness
of antenna
position.
lts needle
should read
steadily
as
far
to the right
as
possible.
With insufficient
signal
strength
readings
you
will not
be
able to receive
clear broadcasts.
When
you
reach
a station
broadcasting in
stereo the red
stereo
indicator
at the
right
side
of the dial scale
will illuminate.
Push
the FM Mute
switch
to reduce
noise
and
"hiss"
between
stations. The
muting
circuit blocks
all signals below
a certain
strength, including
weak
stations. Release
the FM Mute
button to
receive
these broadcasts.
The
Reference:650FETR
incorporates
a soecial MPX Blend
position
on
its
Mode
switch. This effectively
reduces
background
noise on many
broadcasts without
inhibiting
high frequency
response.
lt works
by altering the
separation
characteristics
of
the stereo multiplex
circuit, reducing
its
vulnerability
to noise.
lf
the signal is
still too noisy it may
be necessary
to
set the
Mode
switch to the Mono
position
where
the
650FETR is least
susceptible to noise. Further
experimentation
with
antenna
position
may
also be required
to receive
certain
stations.
To Receive
AM
Broadcasts
The
procedure
is
similar with
several
significant exceptions.
Set the selector knob
to the AM
position.
Tune
stations
so that
the Tuning
meter deflects
to
its
highest rather
than
center
position.
There is no
muting for AM.
