Tuner Operation

The Tuner is selected either by rotating the manual input selector on the front panel, or by touching the TUNER button in the remote’s EMO mode. The front panel display shows the frequency of the last station you were listening to.

The FM Tuner can tune stations from 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps (.05 MHz steps for some international models).The AM Tuner range is 530 kHz to 1710 kHz in 10 kHz steps (531 kHz to 1710 kHz in 9 kHz steps for some international models).

Tuner and the OSD

Page 54 shows how to set up the Tuner using the on screen display.

Tuning Stations Manually

Use the front panel AM/FM button to select either the AM or FM band, and then use one of these three ways to tune stations manually:

1.Touch UP or DOWN momentarily to change the tuner by one frequency step.

2.Hold UP or DOWN for a second or so, then release to start the scanning feature. The DMC-1 will scan to the next station, pause on it for a few seconds to allow you to hear what is offered there, and then scan to the next, and so on. Pressing UP or DOWN stops the scanning process.

3.Hold UP or DOWN for an extended period to make the tuner speed across the band without stopping on a station. The tuner will begin scanning for stations when you release the button. Pressing UP or DOWN stops the scanning.

4.When a station is tuned, it can be set as a preset for easy recall, see “Setting the Presets” in the next column.

Tuning Stations Directly

Use the AM/FM button to select either the AM or FM band and then press the DIRECT button. Within a few seconds, enter the station’s frequency by using the preset number buttons. For example, to tune to radio station 97.3, press DIRECT, then 9, then 7 and then 3.

Setting the Presets

Once you have tuned in a station, press and hold a preset button until the display flashes to show the memory has been set. Use the +10 button to add presets higher than 9, and hold the last button pressed for a few seconds.
