MZC-88 Installation Instructions Page 45
PROGRAMMING TUNER PRESETS
This section assumes that the MZC-88 and all system components, including antennas, have been properly installed and are
functioning properly. The programming instructions are the same for Tuner 1 and Tuner 2. Use the appropriate associated
buttons to program each tuner.

1. Press the ZONE button to select the specific zone’s presets to be programmed. Repeated presses of the Zone Button will
scroll through the zones, 1-8, and the tuner display will indicate the zone selected. (Z1 as shown in Figure 28.) Zones
can also be selected by pressing the ZONE button followed by TUN+/- or by pressing the ZONE button followed by one
of the Preset 1-8 buttons. “ZONE CHANGE” will appear in the tuner display to indicate a change of zone selection.
2. Press the AM/FM button to select AM or FM. The tuner display will indicate the band selected.
3. Press the TUN+/- buttons to tune the station to be programmed.
a) A short press of under
1
⁄2 second will change tuning by one increment (0.2 MHz for FM and 10 kHz for AM).
b) A longer press, over 1/2 second but less than 2 seconds, will place tuner in Auto Seek Mode. That is, the tuner will
automatically advance and stop on the next usable station.
c) A Press & Hold of more than 2 seconds will cause Rapid Manual Tuning. Release button when tuning frequency is
close to the desired station and then use short presses to fine tune the desired station.
Left and right arrow icons will appear when a station is not properly tuned as shown in Figure 28. A solid bar will ap-
pear when the station is properly tuned as shown in Figure 29.
4. If a station is noisy, press the MN/ST (mono/stereo) button to force Mono reception. The letters ‘MO’ will appear in the
display. To return to stereo reception, press the MN/ST button again. The “St” icon will appear as shown in Figure 29.
When tuned to a stereo station, the letters ‘Mo’ (lower case ‘o’) will appear for mono stations when the MN/ST button is
switched to ST.
5. Press and hold the Preset Button that the currently tuned station is to be programmed to for three seconds. The tuner
display will indicate “MEM” indicating a station is being set and “P01-P10” to indicate which preset button, 1-10, has
been programmed as shown in Figure 30.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for all presets for all zones for Tuners 1 and 2. It may be desirable to program the same presets for both
tuners in a zone. In the case that one tuner is “busy”, the other can be used and easily tuned with the same preset con-
figuration. In some applications it may be desirable to have a completely different set of presets for variety. (Client prefer-
ence will typically determine preset configuration.)
