FM stereo operation
Set the function switch (17) to the 'Radio' position. Set the waveband select
switch (19) to the 'FM ' position. Set the FM mode button (16) to the 'Stereo'
(down) position. Adjust the volume control (13) until a hissing sound is heard.
The telescopic aerial (14) which is only operational on FM, should be fully
extended. Carefully tune to the desired station using the tuning control (20).
If the station being received is in 'Stereo' the stereo indicator (9) will illuminate.
Angle and rotate the telescopic aerial to a position giving the best reception.
A knuckle joint at the base of the aerial allows this movement and an angle
of 45 degrees will usually be satisfactory. If the FM signal becomes weak or
is accompanied by a high level of background hiss, you may select 'MONO'
mode by setting the FM mode button (16) to the 'Mono' (up) position.
The FM band is marked in Megahertz (MHz). To switch off the radio, set the
function switch (17) to the 'Off/Tape' position.
Medium and long wave operation
Set the function switch (17) to the 'Radio' position. Select 'MW' or 'LW' using
the waveband select switch (19). Adjust the volume control (13) until a hissing
sound is heard. Carefully tune to the desired station using the tuning control
(20). The unit should be rotated for optimum reception. The MW and LW
bands are marked in kilohertz (kHz). To switch off the radio, set the function
switch (17) to the 'Off/Tape' position.
Listening to cassette tapes
Set the function switch (17) to the 'Off/Tape' position. Press the stop/eject
button (4) to open the cassette compartment (10). Insert a pre-recorded
cassette with the tape surface uppermost and the side with the desired
recording facing towards you. Close the cassette compartment. Depress the
play button (7) and adjust the volume control (13) to suit your personal taste.
Use the fast forward (5) or rewind buttons (6) to locate a specific part of the
tape. If you wish to temporarily stop the playback depress the pause button
(3). When you are ready to resume playback press the pause button a
second time.
Recording from the Radio
Set the Function switch (17) to the 'Radio' position. Tune in to the desired
station. Adjust the volume control (13) to suit your requirements. Insert a
blank cassette with the tape surface uppermost. Depress the record button
(8) to commence recording. The recording level is set automatically and is
not affected by the setting of the volume control.
Recording from the Internal Microphone
Set the function switch (17) to the 'Off/Tape' position. Insert a blank cassette
with the tape surface uppermost. Press the record button (8) to commence
recording.
Note : To reduce background noise it is important to speak as close as
possible to the internal microphone (1).
Caution
If the record button will not depress, do not force it. It is probably because
the cassette tabs have been broken to prevent accidental erasure of an
existing recording. (see preventing accidental erasure)
