NOTE: If the TUNER is not already the selected input, pressing a NUMERIC button on the front- panel activates the TUNER. If using the NU- MERIC buttons on the remote, first manually select the tuner input, if not already active.

The NUMERIC buttons can also be used for direct access tuning (see next section).

DIRECT Button

FRQ DIRECT Button

If you know the frequency of the desired sta- tion, you may tune it directly using the DIRECT button and the NUMERIC buttons.

1.Press the DIRECT button on the front panel or the FRQ DIRECT button on the remote to change the NUMERIC buttons from sta- tion preset to Direct Access mode. The sta- tion frequency in the front-panel display will change to a series of four bars, represent- ing the digits of a station frequency, with the first bar flashing.

2.Enter the first digit of the station frequency using the NUMERIC buttons. The digit will appear in the frequency display and the second bar will flash. Enter the remaining digits of the frequency. When all of the necessary digits have been entered, the receiver will tune to the displayed station frequency. Note that entering a station fre- quency is slightly different for the USA and Europe:

In the USA:

 

FM87.50MHz

Press: 8>7>5

FM101.90MHz

Press: 1>1>9

AM1410kHz

Press: 1>4>1

In Europe:

 

FM87.50MHz

Press: 8>7>5>0

FM101.90MHz

Press: 1>1>9>0

AM1413kHz

Press: 1>4>1>3

MONO Button

FM MONO Button

The MONO button on the front panel or the FM MONO button on the remote change the FM mode from stereo reception to mono re- ception. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the station is broadcasting a ste- reo signal and there is sufficient signal strength. An ST indicator will light in the front-panel display. In mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal.

NOTE: Switching to mono mode can improve the reception of weak or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required for clean mono reception than for stereo reception.

TUNE Button

PRESET Button

P-TUN Button

These remote control buttons are used to change between FREQUENCY tuning mode and PRE- SET tuning mode. In frequency tuning mode, the TUNING buttons (CH UP/DOWN on the remote ) advance to the next station frequency. In preset tuning mode, the TUNING buttons advance to the next memorized station pre- set.

Select the FREQUENCY tuning mode by press- ing the TUNE button on the remote. Select the PRESET tuning mode by pressing the PRESET button on the remote. Toggle between the two modes by pressing the P-TUN button. A PRE- SET indicator appears in the display when PRE- SET TUNING is activated.

SCAN Button

This button activates a preset scanning feature. When you press the button, the tuner begins scanning through all memorized station pre- sets, playing each for 5 seconds before mov- ing to the next. To stop the station scanning when the desired station preset is reached, press the button again.

NOTE: If a PRESET station is currently tuned when the PRESET SCAN button is pressed, scanning will start with the next higher preset number and continue through all presets, stop- ping on the initial preset. If a PRESET station is not currently tuned when the button is pressed, scanning will start from PRESET 1 and continue to PRESET 30.

RDS and RBDS Tuning

The Rotel RSX-1067 is equipped with RDS (Ra- dio Data Systems) reception capabilities for Europe and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data Service) capabilities for the United States. These broadcast systems provide additional function- ality to FM radio reception by transmitting en- coded information along with the radio sig- nal. This signal is decoded by an RDS or RBDS receiver and can provide a range of informa- tional features including:

1.a display of the station’s identifying name (e.g. BBC1)

2.a display of the station’s program content (e.g. ROCK or NEWS)

3.traffic information broadcasts

4.a scrolling text display for announcements or information

In addition, RDS provides several advanced search features including:

1.Search for a station with the desired pro- gram content (PTY)

2.Search for traffic information (TP)

3.Search for stations broadcasting special traffic announcements (TA).

RDS broadcasting has been widely available in many European markets for years. There are a large number of RDS stations and most users will be familiar with the features and operation. In the USA, implementation of the RBDS system is more recent. Fewer stations are broadcasting RBDS signals and the fea- tures may be less familiar to many users. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for more infor- mation on RDS or RBDS broadcasting in your area.

NOTE: The RDS and RBDS features are en- tirely dependent on the broadcaster sending encoded signals. Thus, they will only be avail- able in markets where RDS or RBDS is imple- mented and where stations are broadcasting these data signals. If there are no RDS or RBDS stations, the RSX-1067 will function as a standard radio receiver.

NOTE: RDS and RBDS services are only avail- able on FM broadcasts. The features and but- tons described below are only operational in FM mode.
