TUNING Buttons

CH TUNING Buttons

The buttons labeled TUNING on the front panel or CH UP/DOWN on the remote control pro- vide two different tuning functions, depend- ing on the mode of operation.

In the normal FREQUENCY TUNING

mode, press a TUNING button and release to manually jump up or down to the next sta- tion frequency, regardless of whether or not a station is broadcasting on that frequency. For auto scan tuning, press and hold the TUN- ING button for approximately one second. An AUTO indicator appears in the front panel dis- play and the tuner begins automatically scan- ning up or down through the frequencies until the next available station is detected. If this is not the desired station, repeat the automatic tuning procedure to find the next station. Weak stations will be skipped during auto tuning.

In the PRESET TUNING mode, press a TUNING button and release to jump up or down to the next memorized station preset. Switch between FREQUENCY and PRESET tun- ing modes by pressing the SHIFT button and then the BAND/TV button on the re- mote control. A PRESET indicator appears in the display when PRESET TUNING is activated.

NOTE: Several indicators in the front panel display assist tuning. A large display shows the tuned frequency and increases or de- creases during tuning. A TUNED indicator lights when a sufficiently strong signal is re- ceived. A ST indicator lights when a stereo FM signal is received.

TUNE/PRESET Button [SHIFT] TV Button

The TUNE PRESET button toggles between FREQUENCY TUNING mode (the CH TUN- ING buttons advance to the next station fre- quency) and PRESET TUNING mode (the CH TUNING buttons advance to the next memo- rized station preset). To change modes, press the front panel TUNE PRESET button. To change modes using the remote, press the SHIFT but- ton and then the TV button. A PRESET indica- tor in the front panel DISPLAY lights when the PRESET mode is active.

NUMERIC Buttons:

Station Presets

The RX-1050 can store up to 30 station pre- sets for recall at any time using the NUMERIC buttons on the remote control. To memorize a station:

1.Tune to the desired station, AM or FM.

2.Press the MEMORY button on the front panel. A MEMORY indicator flashes for five seconds in the front panel display.

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 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 memo- rized for the same preset number.

To tune to a previously memorized station, just press the preset number

on the NUMERIC buttons. 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 selected INPUT SOURCE, selecting a station preset will automatically switch to the TUNER input and tune the memorized station.

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

DIRECT FREQUENCY/10 Button

If you know the frequency of the desired sta- tion, you may tune it directly using the DIRECT FREQUENCY/10 button and the NUMERIC buttons on the remote.

1.Press the DIRECT FREQUENCY/10 button to change the NUMERIC buttons from sta- tion preset to frequency direct mode. The station frequency in the front panel display 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 appears in the frequency display and the second bar flashes. Enter the remaining digits of the frequency. When all of the digits have been entered, the tuner automatically tunes to the displayed station frequency.

NOTE: On the USA version, pressing 1 in the FM mode will enter 10 as the digit in the frequency display. On the European version, it is necessary to press 1 and then 0 to enter 10. For US FM stations, press only one digit following the decimal point as shown in the first example below. For European FM stations, press two digits fol- lowing the decimal point as shown in the second example.

EXAMPLES:
(USA FM) 87.50MHz	Press 8>7>5
(Europe FM) 87.50MHz	Press 8>7>5>0
(all AM) 1610kHz	Press 1>6>1>0
