Optimus STAV-3670 Basic Operation, Tuning the Radio, Using FM Mono, Manual and Automatic Tuning

Basic Operation

Tuning the Radio

Note: For weak signals, we recommend manual tuning.

Your receiver offers three types of electronic tuning — manual, automatic, and memory.

Manual and Automatic Tuning

Follow these steps to manually or automatically tune to the stations.

1.Press TUNER. Then press FM/AM to select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency last selected in that band.

2.Press TUNING or once to manually select the next higher or lower fre- quency. Or, hold down TUNING or to rapidly change frequencies. Release the button to stop.

To automatically search for the next higher or lower station, release TUN- ING as soon as the display starts to change. The receiver searches up or down the band to the next strong station.

Notes:

•TUNED appears when you tune to a strong station.

•If you press TUNING at the top of the frequency range or TUNING at the bottom of the frequency range, the display returns to the other end of the range.

•Automatic tuning works for FM stations only.

Notes:

•If you store a frequency in a memory that already contains a frequency, you replace the previous frequency.

•If your receiver is disconnected from AC power for several days, it loses all the stored frequencies.

Memory Tuning

Memory tuning lets you store up to 30 AM or FM frequencies in three different classes (10 frequencies in each class), then instantly tune to a stored station.

Follow these steps to store a station in a memory location.

1.Press TUNER. Then press FM/AM to select the desired band.

2.Use either manual or automatic tuning to select the frequency you want to store.

If desired, press FM MONO for FM stereo or monaural sound (see “Using FM MONO” on Page 16). This setting is also stored in memory.

3.Press MEMORY. MEMORY lights, and - (for the channel number) and the class number (1, 2, or 3) flash on the display for about 5 seconds.

4.While MEMORY appears, press CLASS until the class number you want (1, 2, or 3) appears, then press STATION or until the channel number you want appears.

The class and station numbers light steadily, indicating the receiver mem- orized the frequency.

To tune to a stored station, press CLASS so the desired class number appears, then press STATION / to select the station.
