HOW TO USE YOUR DIGITAL

SOLUTION SYSTEM

Listening to the Radio

1.Press the POWER switch (A) to turn on the power.

2.Press one of the SOURCE buttons (B) on the front panel, or the AM or FM buttons on the remote (C) to select either the FM or AM band.

3.Press the TUNE UP and DOWN buttons (D) to tune in the desired

station. Pressing once for less than a half second changes the frequency by one step. Pressing longer sequentially scans frequencies in the indicated direction. Releasing the button in this state activates the auto tuning function which automatically scans the frequencies until it reaches a station, at which point the TUNED and signal level indicators light and auto tuning stops.

4.Adjust the volume with the VOLUME control (E).

IMPORTANT NOTES ON FM RADIO RECEPTION:

The supplied FM antenna will only allow the tuner to pick up strong local radio stations. If you want better reception of distant FM stations you will need a better FM antenna. Your Polk Audio dealer can recommend a high quality indoor or outdoor FM antenna. Be sure to get one with a 75 Ohm coaxial output. If you already have a TV roof antenna, you can use it for the FM tuner. Get a signal splitter from a radio/TV dealer or Radio Shack store. It will allow you to use the same antenna for TV and FM radio reception.

If a radio station you select has a lot of background noise or otherwise sounds distorted, the tuner is not getting a strong enough signal. Look at the Signal Strength indicator in the upper left hand corner of the display. If there are three or fewer bars lit, that means you need to point the antenna in a different direction. Watch the signal strength meter as you slowly rotate the antenna, noting which direction gives you the strongest reading on the meter. If you still don’t get clear reception of the radio station, you either need a better antenna, or the broadcast station is too far away from your home for good reception.
