RCA STA-3850 Memory Tuning, Direct Tuning Remote Control Only, Automatically Storing Stations

•If you press TUNING UP at the top of the frequency range or TUNING DOWN at the bottom of the frequency range, the frequency at the opposite end of the range appears.

Direct Tuning (Remote Control Only)

Follow these steps to directly enter a frequency.

1.Press FM or AM on the front panel (or on the remote control) to select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency last selected in that band.

2.Press DIRECT TUNING on the remote control. DIRECT

IN scrolls by, followed by AM – – – – kHz for AM or FM – –

– .– – MHz for FM. The first – flashes.

3.Enter the desired frequency using the remote control’s number buttons.

Notes:

• If you press 1 to enter a FM frequency, such as 103.5, 10 automatically appears. If you also press the zero, the frequency that appears would be 100.30.

• The last zero always appears automatically in both FM and AM frequencies.

• If you do not press a key within 5 seconds, the receiver exits direct tuning. Start over at Step 2.

MEMORY TUNING

Memory tuning lets you instantly tune to a stored frequency. You can store up to 30 AM and 30 FM frequencies in the receiver’s memory. The receiver automatically stores the first 30 stations found in the selected band into the memory. You can also manually store a station into memory.

Automatically Storing Stations

1.Press FM or AM on the front panel (or on the remote control) to select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency last selected in that band.

2.Hold down MEMORY for more than 2 seconds. MEMORY and CH appear while the receiver steps through the frequencies, beginning with the low end (87.5 MHz for FM or 530 kHz for AM).

3.When the receiver finds a station, it stores in the first memory channel, the CH number increments, and the receiver looks for the next station. When the receiver finds the thirtieth station or when it reaches the high end of the frequency range, MEMORY disappears and the receiver tunes to the lowest frequency station in the band.

Repeat these steps to automatically store stations in the other band.

Manually Storing a Station

When the receiver automatically stores stations, some of them might not be your favorites. Or, the 30-channel memory might have filled up before the receiver reached your favorite station at the high end of the frequency range. Follow these steps to manually replace a station in memory.

1.Press FM or AM on the front panel (or on the remote control) to select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency last selected in that band.

2.If CH appears on the right side of the display, press MODE to change the receiver to manual-tuning mode. MANUAL briefly appears.

3.Use either automatic or manual tuning to find the desired station.

4.Press MEMORY. MEMORY flashes on the display.

5.While MEMORY flashes, press TUNING UP or DOWN until the desired memory channel number appears.

6.Press MEMORY again to store the station immediately. Or, wait about 5 seconds and the station is automatically stored in the selected channel.

Notes:

•If you store a frequency in a memory that already contains a frequency, you replace the previous frequency.

•If your receiver is disconnected from AC power for several days, it loses all the stored frequencies.

Tuning to a Station in Memory

1.Press FM or AM on the front panel (or on the remote control) to select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency last selected in that band.

2.If CH does not appear on the right side of the display, press MODE to change the receiver to memory-tuning mode. PRESET briefly appears.

3.Press TUNING UP or DOWN (or PRESET CALL and

on the remote control) to tune to the next higher or lower station stored in memory.

Or, press PRESET SCAN to scan through the stations in memory. The receiver tunes to each station for about 5 seconds. When you hear the station you want to listen to, press PRESET SCAN again.

You can also tune to a station in memory by using the remote control’s number buttons to enter the channel number. For single-digit channels, enter 0 first (for example, enter 06 for Channel 6).
