4.2 The Tuner

Selecting stations

1)Select the tuner input via the front panel or remote control button. The information display will show the most recently received broadcast frequency.

2)If the band you want (AM or FM) is already displayed, proceed to step 3) below. If not, push the FM/AM selector to change to the appropriate band.

3)Choose your preferred tuning method (seek or manual) by pressing the front panel seek/manual button.

While in “seek” mode, the tuning buttons will take you to the next active frequency. In “manual” mode, the tuning buttons will step to the next available frequency even if it is unused.

4)Use the tuning buttons to select the station you wish to listen to.

Programming “Preset” Stations.

The GTP-760 can memorize up to 14 AM and 14 FM signals for instant recall. Place your favorite stations in memory by:

1)Select either FM or AM as described above. Note the stations you want to preset. Starting at the lowest end of the frequency range (88.1 for FM, 520 for AM), tune to the first station you want to program into memory.

2)Press the preset 1 button and hold it for approximately three (3) seconds. (Remember to push

the remote’s tuner source selector before using the keypad.) When you see “Preset 1” appear in the information display and the LED in the preset 1 button light, that frequency has been placed in the preset memory.

3)Tune to the next desired frequency and follow the same instructions but use “Preset 2” to commit this new broadcast frequency to memory.

4)Continue for all presets up to and including the seventh.

5)Setting presets 8 through 14 require the use of the shift button.

•Select the desired frequency for preset # 8. Press shift and then hold preset button 1 for three seconds. When you see “Preset 8” appear in the information display and the LED’s in the front panel preset 1 and shift buttons light, that frequency is memorized.

•Select the frequency for preset # 9. Follow the instructions above but substitute preset button2 in place of preset button 1. (Remember that the shift button adds a “7” to the nominal preset button value. Thus, shift + 2 actually means “Preset 9” and so on.)

•Continue as above until all 14 presets are used or until you run out of “favorite” stations, whichever comes first.

6)Select the other broadcast band (AM or FM) and begin programming again. Follow the instructions above. When you’re finished, you’ll be able to listen to any of these favorite frequencies by pushing just one or two buttons.
