that frequency. For auto frequency search
tuning, press and hold the TUNING button
for approximately one second. An AUTO
indicator will appear in the front-panel dis-
play and the tuner will begin scanning up or
down through the frequencies until the next
available signal is detected. If this is not the
desired station, repeat the automatic tuning
procedure to find the next station. Weak sta-
tions will be skipped during auto tuning.

In the PRESET tuning mode, press a TUN-
ING button (CH UP/DOWN on the remote)
and release to jump to the next memorized
station preset.

TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the re-
mote) to select the desired program type from
the scrolling list in the display. See the section

display assist tuning. A large display shows
the tuned frequency. A TUNED indicator lights
when a sufficiently strong signal is received.
A ST indicator lights when a stereo FM signal
is received.
MEMORY Button
The MEMORY button (labeled MEM and “X”
on the remote is used with the NUMERIC but-
tons to store memorized station presets. See
the next section for detailed instructions.
NUMERIC Buttons:
Station Presets
The RSX-1057 can store up to 30 station
presets for recall at any time using the NU-
MERIC buttons on the front panel. To memo-
rize a station:
1. Tune to the desired station, AM or FM.
2. Press the MEMORY button on the front-
panel or remote. A MEMORY indicator
will flash 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 the station as 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
memorized for the same preset number.
To tune to a previously memorized station, just
press the preset number on the NUMERIC but-
tons. 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 se-
lected input, pressing a NUMERIC button
on the front-panel activates the TUNER. If
using the NUMERIC buttons on the remote,
first manually select the tuner input, if not
already active.
The NUMERIC buttons can also be used for
direct access tuning (see next section).
DIRECT Button
FRQ DIRECT Button
If you know the frequency of the desired sta-
tion, you may tune it directly using the DIRECT
button and the NUMERIC buttons.
1. Press the DIRECT button on the front panel
or the FRQ DIRECT button on the remote to
change the NUMERIC buttons from station
preset to Direct Access mode. The station
frequency in the front-panel display will
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 will
appear in the frequency display and the
second bar will flash. Enter the remain-
ing digits of the frequency. When all of
the necessary digits have been entered,
the receiver will tune to the displayed sta-
tion frequency. Note that entering a sta-
tion frequency is slightly different for the
USA and Europe:
In the USA:
FM87.50MHz Press: 8>7>5
FM101.90MHz Press: 1>1>9
AM1410kHz
Press: 1>4>1
In Europe:
FM87.50MHz Press: 8>7>5>0
FM101.90MHz Press: 1>1>9>0
AM1413kHz
Press: 1>4>1>3
MONO Button
FM MONO Button
The MONO button on the front panel or the
FM MONO button on the remote change the
FM mode from stereo reception to mono recep-
tion. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be
heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo
signal and there is sufficient signal strength.
An ST indicator will light in the front-panel
display. In mono mode, a mono signal will
be heard even if the station is broadcasting
a stereo signal.
NOTE
: Switching to mono mode can improve
the reception of weak or distant FM signals.
Less signal strength is required for clean mono
reception than for stereo reception.

PRESET Button
P-TUN Button
These remote control buttons are used to
change between FREQUENCY tuning mode
and PRESET tuning mode. In frequency tuning

ING buttons advance to the next memorized
station preset.
