FM IF NARROW Button

FM reception works by receiving and de- coding a carrier signal centered at the tuned frequency. To accommodate broadcast sta- tions that may be slightly misadjusted off this carrier frequency, the receiver accepts sig- nals slightly to either side of the tuned fre- quency. This provides satisfactory perfor- mance in most reception areas.

If you are located in an urban area with a large number of stations with closely spaced frequencies, you may occasionally notice interference from adjacent stations. To pro- vide better performance under these condi- tions, the RT-955 allows you to reduce the range of frequencies to either side of the precise tuned frequency, thus reducing in- ter-station interference. Press the FM IF NARROW button to use this feature. A NARROW indication will appear in the DISPLAY. Press the button again to toggle back to normal operation.

ANT A/B Button

As described in the REAR PANEL CONNEC- TIONS section of this manual, the RT-955 provides two FM antenna connections, la- beled A and B. This button toggles between the two antenna inputs. An A or B indica- tor will appear in the DISPLAY, indicating which FM antenna input is currently active.
