FM stereo operation

Set the function switch (17) to the 'Radio' position. Set the waveband select switch (19) to the 'FM ' position. Set the FM mode button (16) to the 'Stereo' (down) position. Adjust the volume control (13) until a hissing sound is heard. The telescopic aerial (14) which is only operational on FM, should be fully extended. Carefully tune to the desired station using the tuning control (20). If the station being received is in 'Stereo' the stereo indicator (9) will illuminate. Angle and rotate the telescopic aerial to a position giving the best reception. A knuckle joint at the base of the aerial allows this movement and an angle of 45 degrees will usually be satisfactory. If the FM signal becomes weak or is accompanied by a high level of background hiss, you may select 'MONO' mode by setting the FM mode button (16) to the 'Mono' (up) position.

The FM band is marked in Megahertz (MHz). To switch off the radio, set the function switch (17) to the 'Off/Tape' position.

Medium and long wave operation

Set the function switch (17) to the 'Radio' position. Select 'MW' or 'LW' using the waveband select switch (19). Adjust the volume control (13) until a hissing sound is heard. Carefully tune to the desired station using the tuning control (20). The unit should be rotated for optimum reception. The MW and LW bands are marked in kilohertz (kHz). To switch off the radio, set the function switch (17) to the 'Off/Tape' position.

Listening to cassette tapes

Set the function switch (17) to the 'Off/Tape' position. Press the stop/eject button (4) to open the cassette compartment (10). Insert a pre-recorded cassette with the tape surface uppermost and the side with the desired recording facing towards you. Close the cassette compartment. Depress the play button (7) and adjust the volume control (13) to suit your personal taste. Use the fast forward (5) or rewind buttons (6) to locate a specific part of the tape. If you wish to temporarily stop the playback depress the pause button

(3). When you are ready to resume playback press the pause button a second time.

Recording from the Radio

Set the Function switch (17) to the 'Radio' position. Tune in to the desired station. Adjust the volume control (13) to suit your requirements. Insert a blank cassette with the tape surface uppermost. Depress the record button

(8)to commence recording. The recording level is set automatically and is not affected by the setting of the volume control.

Recording from the Internal Microphone

Set the function switch (17) to the 'Off/Tape' position. Insert a blank cassette with the tape surface uppermost. Press the record button (8) to commence recording.

Note : To reduce background noise it is important to speak as close as possible to the internal microphone (1).

Caution

If the record button will not depress, do not force it. It is probably because the cassette tabs have been broken to prevent accidental erasure of an existing recording. (see preventing accidental erasure)
