CONTROL FUNCTIONS
(Numbers correspond with product diagram on page 11)
1. VOLUME CONTROL – The digitally controlled precision volume control allows you
to vary the volume from 0-50. Note that it is not a linear volume control –
therefore volume changes will vary more as you turn the control at higher levels
than at lower levels.
2. POWER – Switches the power (AC) on and off to the receiver.
3. INPUT SELECTOR – Changes the input source.
4. MUTE – When on, interstation noises are muted while tuning the tuner.
5. STEREO – Switches the tuner from Mono to Stereo.
6. BW1 BANDWIDTH SETTING – When BW 1 is selected the tuner is in the Wide
IF Bandwidth setting. This setting produces the best sound where adjacent
channel interference is not a factor.
7. BW2 BANDWIDTH SETTING – When BW 2 is selected the tuner is in the
Narrow Bandwidth setting. This setting produces the best results where adjacent
channel interference is a factor.
8. INPUT METER – When the LED above the button is lit, meter #10 will read the
signal strength of the incoming signal, the higher the better. The signal meter is
calibrated so that it will never reach 10, this is done to protect the meter
mechanism. When the switch is set up to multi-path, meter #10 will indicate the
presence of multi-path. The unit should be tuned so that this meter reads zero.
9. TUNING KNOB - Rotating this knob allows you to precisely tune to the frequency
of your choice. Slight detuning of the tuner may help eliminate multi-path or some
unusual atmospheric conditions that are affecting the sound of the tuner.
DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
10. SIGNAL STRENGTH/MULTI-PATH METER – The readout of this meter is
controlled by button 8, showcasing either incoming RF Signal Strength or the
presence of Multi-path.
11. INPUT/VOLUME – When changing the input source, the selected source will be
showcased in the display. Otherwise, a number between 0 and 50 showcases
the volume level. This is adjusted using the volume knob (1 on diagram).
