Receiver Operations

Note

If the AC power cord is disconnected for about one week, the preset stations will be cleared from the receiver’s memory, and you will have to preset the stations again.

Tuning preset stations (preset tuning)

You can tune directly to a preset station by entering its preset number. If you don’t know which stations are preset on which numbers, you can tune by scanning the preset stations.

1Select TUNER.

The last received station is tuned in.

2Press SHIFT to select a memory page (A, B or C), then press the number.

For example, select A and then press 7 to tune in the station preset as A7.

You can also tune by scanning the preset stations

Press TUNER and then DISPLAY so that the frequency display appears. Then press PRESET + or – to select the station you want. Each time you press the buttons, the preset numbers change as follows:

nA1÷A2÷...A9÷A0÷B1÷B2÷...B9÷B0N￿

nC0÷C9...C2÷C1N

Indexing

You can index preset stations and then use the index names to scan specific stations in the preset memory. You can also use the index feature to label program sources so that the receiver displays the names of the components you connected, for example, “VHS”.

Indexing preset stations

You might find that too many preset stations make it hard to find the station you want. This receiver includes a feature that lets you group preset stations by name (station index) using up to 8 characters.

For example, if you label all of your preset jazz stations “JAZZ,” selecting “JAZZ” lets you skip other presets and scan only the stations labeled “JAZZ.” Note that you cannot assign more than one station index name to each preset station.

1Select TUNER.

The last station you received is tuned in.

2Tune in the preset station you want to create an index for.

If you are not familiar with how to tune in preset stations, see “Tuning preset stations (preset tuning)” above.

3Press DPC MODE repeatedly until the INDEX indicator lights up.

4Create a station index name by using the DIGITAL PROCESSING CONTROL knobs as follows:

Turn CHARACTER to select a character.

Then turn POSITION to move the cursor to the next position.

To insert a space, turn CHARACTER until a blank space appears in the display, the space is between " and A.

The station index is stored automatically.

If you’ve made a mistake

Turn POSITION until the character you want to change flashes. Then select the right character.

5Repeat Steps 2 to 4 to assign index names to other stations.

You can display either the index name or frequency

Each time you press DISPLAY, the display switches between the frequency and the index name.
