Operation

USING THE L 54’s AM/FM RADIO

The L 54’s internal AM/FM tuner offers very high quality sound from radio broadcasts. The reception and sound quality will always be dependent to a degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as well as proximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.

ABOUT ANTENNAS

The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel FM-antenna input using the included ‘balun’ adapter and should be fully extended to form a “T”. This folded-dipole antenna will usually work best when oriented vertically, with the arms of its “T” fully outstretched and arranged perpendicular to the origin of the desired broadcast. There are no ‘rules,’ however, and experimenting freely with antenna placement and orientation may yield the clearest sound and lowest background noise.

In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, consider consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system.

The supplied AM ‘loop’ antenna will usually provide adequate reception. However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception. Consult an antenna professional for more information.

ASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA

1Rotate the outer frame of the antenna.

2Insert the bottom edge of the outer frame into the groove on the stand.

3Extend the antenna cord.

SELECTING THE RADIO

To select the L 54’s tuner mode, press “INPUT SELECT” button on the front panel repeatedly until AM/

FM mode or the HTR 4’s numeric ‘+10’ while at AMP or TUNER device selector page.

Press TUNE / on the front panel momentarily to step up or down between AM or FM frequencies.

Press and hold TUNE / for more than 2 seconds to search up or down - the L 54’s tuner will stop at the next sufficiently strong signal it encounters. Pressing the TUNE / during the search process will stop the search.

SETTING RADIO PRESET

The L 54 can store as many as 60 (30 FM and 30 AM stations) of your favorite radio stations for immediate recall. To store a radio preset, first tune the desired frequency (see above), then press the front panel “SETUP/MEMORY” button. The VFD will show a blinking “PROG” icon and a vacant Preset number.

Press “SETUP MEMORY” button again to store the desired frequency on the Preset number shown or

use the / keys to select another available Preset number. Then, press “SETUP/MEMORY” key button again.

The Radio Presets must be stored from the front panel. This setup function is not accessible from the

HTR 4 remote control.

Use the PRESET / keys on the front panel to step up or down between presets. Press and hold

PRESET / to “scroll” continuously up or down. The HTR 4 remote’s ‘PRESET’ keys work similarly.

Empty presets will be skipped during preset tuning.
