[2] Digital Tuner Controls

FM/AM Button: Toggles between AM and FM frequency bands.

FM Mode Button: Sets the FM tuner to mono mode. The letter “M” appears next to the tuner preset num- ber in the front panel display. Pressing the button again returns the FM tuner to stereo mode.

The letter “S” will appear ONLY when a stereo station has been locked by the Digital Tuner. A flashing “S” indicates that the particular chosen station sig- nal strength is not strong enough for the Digital Tuner to “lock” onto the stereo signal. In this instance, the user may want to consider placing the tuner into mono mode.

Memory Button: Pressing this button when FM or AM is selected as the input source memorizes the current station frequency into one of the presets. You can preset up to 32 stations.

Tuner Up/Down Buttons: The function of these buttons depends on the tuning mode selected with the tune/preset button.

In preset mode (indicated in the dis- play area): Press the down button to scroll to a lower number preset; press the up button to scroll to a higher pre- set number. This is a “wrap-around” function, so that going from the high- est number preset, the tuner will go to the lowest preset number or vice-versa when tuning either up or down.

In tune mode: Press the up or down button for more than 1/2 second to engage automatic tuning respectively up or down the frequency band. The tuner will search automatically for the first reasonably strong radio station, where it will stop. Press the down/up button again for 1/2 second to start searching again.

The GTP-860IItuner can receive AM, FM and FM stereo broadcasts. Up to 32 stations can be preset and accessed

To operate the tuner:

1.Press the tuner button on the remote control once, or press the FM or AM button on the front panel.

The display indicates that the tuner is in FM or the AM mode, with stereo selected as the surround mode. The number displayed next to the tuner text is the preset number currently selected or last selected, followed by the stereo reception indicator if the station is being received in stereo. The numbers next to the FM text are the frequency of the selected preset or station. The numbers in front of the dB indication are the current volume setting.

2.Press the AM/FM button on the remote control or the front panel to change between AM and FM bands.

3.Use the tune buttons on the front panel or the remote to change the tuner frequency. The new frequency will be displayed to the left of the vol- ume level on the front panel display.

Pressing a tune button once increases or decreases the FM frequency by .05 MHz and the AM frequency by 10 KHz.

5.Press the FM mode button on the front panel to toggle between stereo and mono.

If an FM station produces lots of noise or sound that cuts in and out while in stereo, use this control to change the FM mode from stereo to mono.

If you select mono as the operating mode an indicator will appear next to the preset number.
