Harman-Kardon AVR5 Tape Recording, Preset Tuning, Auto Preset, Recalling Preset Stations

Operation

24

4.Stations may also be tuned directly by pressing the Direct button ·, and then pressing the Numeric Keys V that correspond to the station’s frequency. The desired station will automatically be tuned.

NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is weak, audio quality will be increased by switching to Mono mode by pressing the FM Mode button &

Ïuntil the STEREO indicator goes out.

Preset Tuning

Up to 30 stations may be stored in the AVR5’s memory for easy recall using the front panel controls or the remote.

To enter a station to the memory, first tune the station using the steps outlined above. Then:

1. Press the Memory button >on the remote. Note that MEMO and PRESET indicators will illuminate and flash in the Information Display.

2.Within five seconds, press the Numeric Keys Vcorresponding to the location where you wish to store this sta- tion’s frequency.

3.Repeat the process after tuning any additional stations to be preset.

Auto Preset

•Preset stations may also be programmed automatically for the FM band. To auto- matically enter each station that may be tuned with acceptable quality into the AVR5’s preset memories, first select the FM band. Next, press and briefly hold the Auto Preset button Xuntil the MEMO and PRESET indicators begin to flash, and

the station frequency indication begins to increase. Release the button and note that the tuner will search the entire FM band, and stop briefly at each station that has acceptable signal strength. The AVR5 will automatically assign a preset number to each station, and then search for the next station. The automatic scan process will stop when all 30 preset memory locations have been filled or the entire FM band has been scanned three times.

NOTE: Using the automatic tuning mode in areas with more than 30 FM stations will completely fill the preset memories, and over-write any previously memorized presets for either AM or FM stations.

TIP: The automatic scan process may enter stations that you do not wish to retain in the memory, or it may enter a station on more than one frequency if the signal is too strong. These unwanted stations may be removed from the memory using the Preset Clear function outlined below.

Recalling Preset Stations

•To manually select a station previously entered in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys Vthat correspond to the desired station’s memory location.

•To manually tune through the list of stored preset stations one by one, press

the Preset buttons ^	on the front
panel or remote.

•To automatically scan through the stations entered in the preset memory, press the Preset Scan button %¿on the front panel or remote. The tuner will run through the list of preset stations, stopping for five seconds at each one. Press the button again to stop the scan at your desired station.

Clearing Preset Stations

Unwanted preset stations may be erased from the unit’s memory to make it easier to tune only those stations you want.

To remove a preset station from the AVR5’s tuner memory, first tune to the station using the Preset Scan button %¿on the front panel or remote, or by entering the preset number directly, using the Numeric Keys V.

When the preset station to be removed has been tuned, first press the Memory button >. The MEMO and PRESET indicators in the Information Display will flash, and the actual preset number will disappear from the display. Next, press the Clear button Âwithin five seconds.

The preset station will be removed from the memory, and the action will be con- firmed by the brief appearance of the word CLEAR and the preset number location in the Information Display. That memory location will now be empty, and you may program a different station to that location, or leave it empty.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the AVR5 is sent to the record outputs.

This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for Tape Monitor ¦ or Video One à in the record mode.
