Using the L70’S AM/FM Radio

Operation

USING THE L70’S AM/FM RADIO

The L70’s internal AM/FM tuner offers very high quality sound from radio broadcasts. Note that reception and sound quality will always be dependent to a degree 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 ‘balun’ included adaptor, and should be fully extended to form a “T”. This folded-dipole antenna will usually work best oriented vertically, with the arms of its “T” full 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 optimise 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.

SELECTING THE RADIO

Press the AM/FM key on the L70 front panel, the HTR L70’s orange “TUNER” (the numeric 9 key), or the yellow “AM” and “FM” keys to select the receiver’s radio mode. Each subsequent press of either key will toggle the unit between its FM and AM bands.

TUNING STATIONS

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

Press and hold TUNE for more than 2 seconds to search up or down; the L70’s tuner will stop at

the next sufficiently strong signal it encounters. See “Front Panel,” above. Pressing the TUNE keys momentarily during the search process will stop the search.

After first pressing the yellow “TUNER” mode-select key on the HTR L70 to set the remote to control radio functions, press “TUNE DOWN” or “TUNE UP” on the HTR L70 (yellow lettering); press momentarily to perform slow manual search, hold in to automatically search (see above).

SETTING RADIO PRESETS

The L70 can store as many as 60 of your favourite radio stations for immediate recall; 30 FM stations and 30 AM. To store a radio preset, first tune the desired frequency (see above), then press the front panel

MEMORY key. Press the PRESET key to select the preset number to be assigned. Then press the MEMORY key once again.

NOTE

•The Radio Presets must be stored from the front panel; this setup function is not accessible from the HTR L70 remote.

SELECTING RADIO PRESETS

Press PRESET on the front panel to step up or down between presets; press and hold PRESET

to “scroll” continuously up or down. The HTR L70 remote’s “PRESET ” keys work similarly.
