CHAPTER 5

Tuner Operation

The Tuner is selected either by rotating the manual input selector on the front panel, or by touching the TUNER button in the remote’s TGP-5 mode. The front panel display shows the frequency of the last station you were listening to.

The FM Tuner can tune stations from 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps (.05 MHz steps for some international models). The AM Tuner range is 530 kHz to 1710 kHz in 10 kHz steps (531 kHz to 1710 kHz in 9 kHz steps for some international models).

Tuning Stations Manually

Use the front panel AM/FM button to select either the AM or FM band, and then use one of these three ways to tune stations manually:

1.Touch UP or DOWN momen- tarily to change the tuner by one frequency step.

2.Hold UP or DOWN for a second or so, then release to start the scanning feature. The TGP-5 will scan to the next station, pause on it for a few seconds to allow you to hear what is offered there, and then scan to the next, and so on. Pressing UP or DOWN stops the scanning process.

3.Hold UP or DOWN for an extended period to make the tuner speed across the band without stopping on a station. The tuner will begin scanning for stations when you release the button. Pressing UP or DOWN stops the scanning.

4.When a station is tuned, it can be set as a preset for easy re- call, see "Setting the Presets" in the next column.

Saving Presets:
