3.While the MEMORY indicator is flashing, press the number of the preset where you wish to store the station frequency. For ex- ample, to memorize the station as preset 3, press the 3 button. To memorize preset 15, press the 1 button followed by the 5 button.

4.A previously stored frequency is erased from memory when a new frequency is memorized for the same preset number.

To tune to a previously memorized station, just press the preset number on the NUMERIC but- tons. For example, to tune to preset 3, press the 3 button. To tune to preset 15, press the 1 button and then press the 5 button.

NOTE: If the TUNER is not already the se- lected input, pressing a NUMERIC button on the front-panel activates the TUNER. If using the NUMERIC buttons on the remote, first manually select the tuner input, if not already active.

The NUMERIC buttons can also be used for direct access tuning (see next section).

DIRECT Button

FRQ DIRECT Button

If you know the frequency of the desired sta- tion, you may tune it directly using the DIRECT button and the NUMERIC buttons.

1.Press the DIRECT button on the front panel or the FRQ DIRECT button on the remote to change the NUMERIC buttons from station preset to Direct Access mode. The station frequency in the front-panel display will change to a series of four bars, represent- ing the digits of a station frequency, with the first bar flashing.

2.Enter the first digit of the station frequency using the NUMERIC buttons. The digit will appear in the frequency display and the

second bar will flash. Enter the remain- ing digits of the frequency. When all of the necessary digits have been entered, the receiver will tune to the displayed sta- tion frequency. Note that entering a sta- tion frequency is slightly different for the USA and Europe:

In the USA:

 

FM87.50MHz

Press: 8>7>5

FM101.90MHz

Press: 1>1>9

AM1410kHz

Press: 1>4>1

In Europe:

 

FM87.50MHz

Press: 8>7>5>0

FM101.90MHz

Press: 1>1>9>0

AM1413kHz

Press: 1>4>1>3

MONO Button

FM MONO Button

The MONO button on the front panel or the FM MONO button on the remote change the FM mode from stereo reception to mono recep- tion. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal and there is sufficient signal strength. An ST indicator will light in the front-panel display. In mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal.

NOTE: Switching to mono mode can improve the reception of weak or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required for clean mono reception than for stereo reception.

TUNE Button

PRESET Button

P-TUN Button

These remote control buttons are used to change between FREQUENCY tuning mode and PRESET tuning mode. In frequency tuning mode, the TUNING buttons (CH UP/DOWN on the remote ) advance to the next station frequency.
