The Tuner
For all the functions described in this chapter the Tuner must be selected as the listening source. First switch the K1 AV
to Tuner mode by pressing the button on the front panel, or the button on the remote control handset.
Basic operation
Selecting presets
Stored radio stations (presets) can be selected using the
/ buttons on the remote control handset, or with
the button on the front panel.
A brief press on the button on the front panel
switches to the next higher preset. To select the next
lower preset the button must be held pressed in for
longer.
Direct preset selection using the numeric
buttons 0 … 9
If you press one of the numeric buttons on the remote
control handset the screen displays a letter ‘P’ for
PRESET, followed by the number just pressed. If you
press a second numeric button within about two seconds,
then the K1 AV accepts this as the second digit of the
preset number.
If you do not press a second button, the preset is
assumed to be a single-digit number. The preset is
activated once the second digit has been entered, or the
waiting period has elapsed.
The K1 AV ignores invalid preset numbers (xx smaller
than 01 or greater than 60); the screen displays ‘Pxx
ERROR’.
Vacant presets are also ignored; they are indicated on
the screen as 'Pxx - - - - -'.
If you change to a new preset, and the current
station is broadcasting RDS information, the
screen displays the station name. Otherwise the
screen initially shows the new preset number
and the reception frequency. After about one
second a tuning display (Tuning indicator)
replaces the preset number.
Manual fine-tuning
A brief press on the Õ / Ö buttons on the remote
control handset adjusts the reception frequency upwards
or downwards in fine increments of 25 kHz.
If you hear interference on a particular station, fine-tuning
may improve reception; this is done by altering the
reception frequency slightly.
Station search
To initiate the station search in the upward or downward
direction hold the Õ / Ö button pressed in until the
search starts. The frequency display on the K1 AV’s
screen now cycles up or down until it locates a station.
This process is used to set all the receivable stations. We
recommend that you store radio stations which you often
listen to in the form of presets (see chapter 'Special
tuner functions / Presets').
RDS Radiotext
A brief press on the < butto n on the remote control
handset switches the Radiotext display for the currently
selected station on and off.
When the machine is switched on, the screen displays
the message ‘RADIOTEXT’ until a new item of news is
displayed.
If the tuner cannot pick up Radiotext information from the
selected station, the screen displays the message ‘NO
RTEXT’ for about one second, and then reverts to the
normal display.
If you switch Radiotext off, the screen briefly displays the
message ‘NO RTEXT’.
If you switch stations, the Radiotext display is
automatically ended. If you wish to re-activate it, you
must press the < button again briefly.
