8. BASS & TREBLE CONTROLS
The T770 is fitted with BASS and TREBLE tone controls to adjust the overall tonality of your system. The 12 o’clock position is ‘flat’ with no boost or cut and a detent indicates this position.
Rotate the control clockwise to increase the amount of Bass or Treble. Rotate the control anti-clockwise to decrease the amount of Bass or Treble. These controls affect the Left, Right Front and Center speakers. The Tone controls do not affect recordings made using the Tape or Video line outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp outputs (Audio Pre Out).
9. VOLUME
The Volume control adjusts the overall loudness of the signals being fed to the loudspeakers. It is motor driven and can be adjusted from the remote control handset using the Master
Volume or button (No. 8 in remote control drawing). The Volume control does not affect recordings made using the Tape 1, Tape 2, Video 1 and Video 2 outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Audio Pre Out).
On the remote control handset, press the Mute Button (No. 3) to temporarily switch off the sound to the speakers and headphones. Mute mode is indicated by “AUDIO MUTE” flashing in red in the display area. Press Mute again to restore sound. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape 1, Tape 2, Video 1 and Video 2 outputs but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Audio Pre Out).
NOTES: The Volume control does not affect the volume of the Multi Source output. Use the Multi Source Level buttons on the remote control (No. 6 in remote control drawing) to adjust the Multi Source volume.
Depending on the calibration of the Surround Setup it may occur that the volume control can not be adjusted to its maximum position. Even if it is turned to the maximum position, it will return to its highest possible setting.

10. DISPLAY OR PS/RT |
(DEPENDING ON VERSION) |
The Display button (120V versions, North America, only) toggles the display to show either the station frequency or user entered station name. If no user name was entered the display will just flash once.
With stations carrying RDS information, the PS/RT button (230V versions only) scrolls between three different display modes, each successive push of the button engages the next one of the three modes:
a)In the default mode, the station’s RDS name is displayed, Program Service (PS; normally the station’s calling letters, BBC R3, for instance).
b)From the default mode, press the button once to view Radio Text (RT). This can be additional information such as the presenter’s or program’s name; what song is playing, etc. This text scrolls continuously over the 8 alphanumeric display segments. It takes a few seconds for the tuner to gather the RT information, so immediately after tuning to a station and selecting to view RT the display will indicate “WAIT” and default to the station name.
c)Press the button from the display RT mode to display the station frequency. Press again to return to the default mode (a).
When tuned to a non-RDS station:
The PS/RT button toggles the display to show either the station frequency or user entered station name. If no user name was entered the display will just flash once.
NOTE: The 120V versions (North America) do not have RDS (Radio Data System).
11. CHARACTER
The Character Button is used to enter the names of Preset radio stations for display when the station is selected. Used together with the Tune/Search (No. 15) and MEMORY (No. 14) Buttons. Refer to the separate chapter “Storing, recalling and naming Presets” for more information.
12. BANK
Pressing Bank switches between the T770’s four Preset Memory Banks (A, B, C or D). Each of these banks can hold up to 10 Preset stations. These Banks can contain a mix of AM or FM stations each. The Bank selected is shown in the Display Panel. You can use the banks to sort your Presets, for instance by station type (Bank A for rock/pop; Bank B for Classical music; Bank C for Jazz, Bank D for news). Refer to the separate chapter “Storing, recalling and naming Presets” for more information.
The remote control handset also has a Bank button and performs the same function.
13. PRESET
The Preset button toggles between the Preset and Tune mode. When Preset mode is selected, “PRESET” lights up in the display area. Up to 40 Presets, either AM or FM, can be stored in four Preset Banks, which can contain up to 10 Preset stations each. The Preset and bank numbers are shown in the Display Panel.
Refer also to section 15 and to the separate chapter “Storing, recalling and naming Presets” for more information.
14. MEMORY
The Memory button is used to store stations into the four Preset Memory Banks. Used in conjunction with the Tune/Search (No.15) buttons. When Memory is active, the Preset number flashes and the red ‘MEMORY’ indicator is shown in the Display Panel.
Refer to the separate chapter “Storing, recalling and naming Presets” for more information.
15. TUNE/SEARCH AND
