AM Antenna
1. AM loop antenna:
In areas where signals are strong or
near broadcast stations, the AM loop
antenna on the rear panel may be
sufficient. This antenna is effective
except in areas where the signal
strength is very low, or in a concrete
building. Position this antenna so that
the program is heard most clearly
when tuned to an AM broadcast. The
AM loop antenna can be detached and
removed from the antenna holder so
that it can be hung on a window, wall,
etc., wherever reception is best.

2. Outdoor antenna:
When you have difficulty in receiving
AM broadcasts clearly with the AM
loop antenna, a vinyl insulated wire
longer than 15 ft. can be connected to
the AM antenna terminal and set near
a window or as high outdoors as
possible; do not disconnect the AM
loop antenna leads at this time. To
connec the AM antenna, insert the
lugs under the knurled knobs and
tighten them.
Operations
SIMPLIFIED OPERATING
PROCEDURE | -
When operating your unit for the first time,
follow these simplified instructions.
1. Set the VOLUME control to the "0"
position.
2. Set the GRAPHIC EQUALIZER controls
to the’0" positions.
3. Set the BALANCE control to its center
(click) position and the HIGH FILTER
and LOUDNESS buttons to OFF.
4. Press the POWER button to turn the
power on.
5. Select the required input source by
pressing one of the FUNCTION
buttons.
6. Select the speaker system to be used
with the SPEAKERS select buttons.
7. Start playing the source component,
and gradually turn up the volume to
the required level with the VOLUME
control.
TUNING PROCEDURES
There are three tuning methods; auto
tuning, manual tuning and preset tuning.
Auto Tuning:
First press the AUTO TUNING button (the
AUTO TUNING indicator lights) to set to
the Auto Tuning mode.
Check that the AUTO TUNING indicator is
lit and press the TUNING UP or DOWN
button. The next broadcasting station at a
higher or lower frequency is automatically
located and tuned in. During tuning,
interstation noise will be eliminated
automatically. When the upper limit
frequency in each band is reached, the
frequency displayed changes to the lower
limit frequency, then tuning starts again
upward. When the lower limit frequency is
reached, tuning restarts downward from
the top frequency.
Manual Tuning:
The Manual Tuning mode is used to tune to
Stations broadcasting weak signals.
Press the AUTO TUNING button again (so
that the AUTO TUNING indicator goes out)
to set to the Manual mode.
When the UP or DOWN TUNING button is
pressed, the frequency is changed up or
down at fixed steps in the FM and AM
band. Holding the UP or DOWN button
pressed for more than a half second
causes the frequency to change
continuously upward or downward.
Preset Tuning:
The receiver has a station preset memory
which is convenient when there are many
radio stations. Preset tuning allows you to
store the frequencies of up to 16 stations in
the STATION MEMORY buttons. Once
these frequencies have been stored in
memory, they are retained for a week even
if the power has been turned off.
Therefore, it is not necessary to re-enter
preset stations every time the power is
turned on.
gr the preset memory
Select the AM or FM band by pressing
either the AM or FM FUNCTION
button.
2. Confirm that the AUTO TUNING
indicator is lit.
3. To tune to an adjacent broadcast,
press either the UP or DOWN TUNING
button.
4. To store a station into the preset
memory, press the MEMORY button.
The MEMORY indicator will light for
approximately 5 seconds. While the
MEMORY indicator is lit, press one of
the STATION MEMORY buttons.
* For preset channels 1 through 8
Press the button momentarily, and then
release it. (The preset channel number
appears in the channel display.)
* For preset channels 9 through 16
Press the button slightly longer, and
then release it. (The preset channel
number appears in the channel display.)
To recall a preset stations, directly press
the STATION MEMORY button
corresponding to the required channel.
The group of preset channels recalled
differs depending on the time for which a
button is pressed. When a button is
pressed for less than one second, preset
channels from CH 1 through CH 8 are
recalled; when it is pressed for more than
one second, preset channels from CH 9
through CH 16 are recalled.
