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 <button 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.
