Sherbourn Technologies PT-7010A owner manual Tuner Operation, Recording Operation

MATRIX ES sources: If there is no discrete surround back channel, the PT-7010A decodes the matrixed surround back channel from the left and right surrounds, and restores them to fully

independent channels.

Tuner Operation

The Tuner is selected either by rotating the manual input selector on the front panel, or by touching the TUNER button in the remote’s 7010A mode. The front panel display shows the frequency of the last station you were listening to.

The FM Tuner can tune stations from 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps (.05 MHz steps for some international models). The AM Tuner range is 530 kHz to 1710 kHz in 10 kHz steps (531 kHz to 1710 kHz in 9 kHz steps for some international models).

Setting the Presets

Once you have tuned in a station, press and hold a preset button until the display flashes to show the memory has been set. Use the +10 button to add presets higher than 9, and hold the last button pressed for a few seconds.

Recalling a Preset Station

Once you have selected the Tuner, you can quickly recall a station by pressing its preset number, either on the front panel or by using the remote’s numeric keypad, FAV buttons, or the channel up and down buttons.

Tuning Stations Manually

Use the front panel AM/FM button to select either the AM or FM band, and then use one of these three ways to tune stations manually:

1)Touch UP or DOWN momentarily to change the tuner by one frequency step.

2)Hold UP or DOWN for a second or so, then release to start the scanning feature. The PT-7010A will scan to the next station, pause on it for a few seconds to allow you to hear what is offered there, and then scan to the next, and so on. Pressing UP or DOWN stops the scanning process.

3)Hold UP or DOWN for an extended period to make the tuner speed across the band without stopping on a station. The tuner will begin scanning for stations when you release the button. Pressing UP or DOWN stops the scanning.

4)When a station is tuned, it can be set as a preset for easy recall, see “Setting the Presets” below.

Tuning Stations Directly

Use the AM/FM button to select either the AM or FM band and then press the DIRECT button. Within a few seconds, enter the station’s frequency by using the preset number buttons. For example, to tune to radio station 97.3, press DIRECT, then 9, then 7 and then 3.

Scanning Presets

To scan through the presets, press and hold the FM/AM

Recording Operation

Recording to a Tape Player

Input signals from an audio source playing in the PT-7010A can be recorded using the left and right audio outputs. The tape player will receive a straight copy of the analog source signal going in, unaffected by the volume, tone, or any surround modes. If you are playing a digital source, the tape player will receive a down mixed stereo analog signal for recording.

•Select the source (such as CD) and play it through your system.
