Operation

3.To select stations, press, and briefly hold, the Tuning button and the tuner will search for the next highest- or lowest-frequency sta- tion that has an acceptable signal. To tune to the next station, press the button again. Tap the Tuning button to advance one frequen- cy increment at a time, or press and hold it to locate a specific station. When the TUNED indi- cator lights, the station is properly tuned and should be heard with clarity.

4.Stations may also be tuned directly by press- ing the Direct button , and then pressing the Numeric Keys ˚ that correspond to the station’s frequency. The desired station will automatically be tuned.

NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is weak, audio quality will be increased by switch- ing to Mono mode by pressing the FM Mode button * ß until the STEREO indicator goes out.

Preset Tuning

Up to 30 stations may be stored in the

HK 3470’s memory for easy recall using the front panel controls or the remote. In order to program preset stations into memory, you must use the remote control.

To enter a station into the memory, first tune the station using the steps outlined above. Then:

1.Press the Memory button ø on the remote. Note that the MEMO and PRESET indicators will light and flash in the Main Information Display.

2.Within five seconds, press the Numeric Keys ˚ corresponding to the location where you wish to store this station’s frequency.

3.Repeat the process after tuning any additional stations to be preset.

Auto Preset

Preset stations may also be programmed automatically for the entire FM band. To auto- matically enter each station that may be tuned with acceptable quality into the HK 3470’s pre- set memories, first select the FM band. Next, press and briefly hold the Auto Preset button ¬ until the MEMO and PRESET indicators begin to flash, and the station frequency indica- tion begins to increase. Release the button and note that the tuner will search the entire FM band, and stop briefly at each station that has acceptable signal strength. The HK 3470 will automatically assign a preset number to each

station, and then search for the next station. The automatic scan process will stop when all 30 preset memory locations have been filled or the entire FM band has been scanned three times.

NOTE: Using the automatic tuning mode in areas with more than 30 FM stations will com- pletely fill the preset memories, and overwrite any previously memorized presets for either AM or FM stations.

TIP: The automatic scan process may enter sta- tions that you do not wish to retain in the memory, or it may enter a station on more than one frequency if the signal is too strong. These unwanted stations may be removed from the memory using the Preset Clear function out- lined below.

Recalling Preset Stations

To manually select a station previously entered in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys ˚ that correspond to the desired station’s memory location.

To manually tune through the list of stored preset stations one by one, press the Preset buttons % ∂ on the front panel or remote.

To automatically scan through the stations entered in the preset memory, press the Preset Scan button @ œ on the front panel or remote. The tuner will cycle through the list of preset stations, stopping for five seconds at each one. Press the button again to stop the scan at your desired station.

Clearing Preset Stations

Unwanted preset stations may be erased from the unit’s memory to make it easier to tune only those stations you want.

To remove a preset station from the HK 3470’s tuner memory, first tune to the station using the Preset Scan button @ œ on the front panel or remote, or by entering the preset num- ber directly, using the Numeric Keys ˚.

When the preset station to be removed has been tuned, first press the Memory button ø. The MEMO and PRESET indicators in the Main Information Display will flash, and the actual preset number will disappear from the display. Next, press the Clear button Ñ within five seconds.

The preset station will be removed from the memory, and the action will be confirmed by the brief appearance of the word CLEAR and

the preset number location in the Main Information Display. That memory location will now be empty, and you may program a differ- ent station to that location, or leave it empty.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio source selected for listening through the HK 3470 is sent to the Tape Mon Out and Tape 2 Rec Out outputs. This means that any program you are listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for Tape Monitor

or Tape 2 ¤ in the record mode.

When a tape recorder with separate record and playback heads is used, you may monitor the output of the recording by selecting the Tape Monitor Input Selector 9 ç. Note that the T-Mon Indicator will light in the Main Information Display Û to remind you that you are listening to the record playback instead of the actual input source being record- ed.
