[2] Digital Tuner Controls
FM/AM Button: Toggles between AM
and FM frequency bands.
FM Mode Button: Sets the FM tuner
to mono mode. The letter “M”
appears next to the tuner preset num-
ber in the front panel display. Pressing
the button again returns the FM tuner
to stereo mode.
The letter “S” will appear ONLY when
a stereo station has been locked by the
Digital Tuner. A flashing “S” indicates
that the particular chosen station sig-
nal strength is not strong enough for
the Digital Tuner to “lock” onto the
stereo signal. In this instance, the user
may want to consider placing the tuner
into mono mode.
Memory Button: Pressing this button
when FM or AM is selected as the input
source memorizes the current station
frequency into one of the presets. You
can preset up to 32 stations.
Tuner Up/Down Buttons:
The function
of these buttons depends on the tuning
mode selected with the tune/preset
button.
In preset mode (indicated in the dis-
play area): Press the down button to
scroll to a lower number preset; press
the up button to scroll to a higher pre-
set number. This is a “wrap-around”
function, so that going from the high-
est number preset, the tuner will go to
the lowest preset number or vice-versa
when tuning either up or down.
In tune mode: Press the up or down
button for more than 1/2 second to
engage automatic tuning respectively
up or down the frequency band. The
tuner will search automatically for the
first reasonably strong radio station,
where it will stop. Press the down/up
button again for 1/2 second to start
searching again.
The GTP-860 II tuner can receive AM,
FM and FM stereo broadcasts. Up to 32
stations can be preset and accessed
from the front panel or remote.
Stations can also be tuned manually.
NOTE: Tuner reception cannot take
place unless an appropriate AM and/or
FM antenna is connected to the rear
panel of the GTP-860
II.
To operate the tuner:
1. Press the tuner button on the
remote control once, or press the FM
or AM button on the front panel.
The display indicates that the tuner
is in FM or the AM mode, with stereo
selected as the surround mode. The
number displayed next to the tuner
text is the preset number currently
selected or last selected, followed by
the stereo reception indicator if the
station is being received in stereo. The
numbers next to the FM text are the
frequency of the selected preset or
station. The numbers in front of the
dB indication are the current volume
setting.
2. Press the AM/FM button on the
remote control or the front panel to
change between AM and FM bands.
3. Use the tune buttons on the front
panel or the remote to change the
tuner frequency. The new frequency
will be displayed to the left of the vol-
ume level on the front panel display.
Pressing a tune button once increases
or decreases the FM frequency by .05
MHz and the AM frequency by 10 KHz.

tune buttons on the front panel or
the remote to scan continuously up
or down the selected band. The tuner
will stop on the next available station
when you release the button.
5. Press the FM mode button on the
front panel to toggle between stereo
and mono.
If an FM station produces lots of noise
or sound that cuts in and out while in

FM mode from stereo to mono.
If you select mono as the operating
mode an indicator will appear next to
the preset number.
