When you press the ACTIVE RECEPTION key, the AR indicator | 7 |
flashes, and the tuner will automatically switch the IF BAND, RF ATT and ANT A/B functions to select the best conditions for recep- tion. If, at this time, you change the receiving frequency by adjusting the tuning UP/DOWN or calling up preset broadcast stations, you will always achieve optimum broadcast wave reception.
Normally leave the ACTIVE RECEPTION mode ON.
During manual operation of IF BAND, RF ATT and ANT A/B func- tions, the ACTIV RECEPTION mode is set to OFF.
This function lets you set the intermediate frequency pass band to WIDE (wide band), or NARROW (narrow band).
WIDE: | Normally set the IF BAND to WIDE. This setting allows |
| reception of good quality sound with minimal distortion. |
NARROW: If signal reception is poor due to interference from a neighbouring station when the IF BAND is set to WIDE, change the IF BAND setting to NARROW.
If the ACTIVE RECEPTION mode is set to ON, WIDE or NARROW will be switched over automatically.
When there is an adjacent channel with strong radio waves, RF reciprocal modulation, mixed modulation distortion easily occurs. By switching the RF ATT key ON the RF reciprocal modulation and mixed modulation can be minimized.
Even when the key is set to OFF, if the ACTIVE RECEPTION mode is ON, it will work automatically.
When using 2 exterior antennas, or, an external antenna with an already established antenna (cable broadcast reception antenna etc.), aligning to the respective set up and reception statuses, A or B can be switched.
If the ACTIVE RECEPTION mode is set to ON, the key will switch A/ B automatically.
AUTO/STEREO (STEREO lit during stereo reception): Usually, set the switch to AUTO/STEREO.
The tuner automatically switches between stereo and monaural receptions according to the program being received.
The tuner automatically scans the frequency and stops when a station is tuned in.
HIGH BLEND (available for the FM band with
This function reduces audible noise in the middle band and above when receiving weak radio waves during stereo broadcasts. The tuner automatically scans the frequency and stops when a station is tuned in.
MANUAL/MONO:
Set the switch to OFF when noise interferes due to weak radio waves in the stereo reception. The stereo broadcast is received in monaural and the noise will be reduced. When you want to tune in a station with weak radio waves which the auto tuning function can not pick up, select the manual tuning mode.
