As a guide, two red leds will give
good mono reception. Two red leds
and two green leds will give adequate
stereo reception. All five leds wiU
give the best stereo reception with the
least possible background noise. In
most cases, you will need to use a roof
mounted aerial connected to the tuner
with a good quality low loss 75ohm
co-axial cable to achieve the best
results. The simple wire dipole aerial
provided is only suitable for reception
of strong local stations.

To cancel muting, select mono output

PRESET MEMORY BACK-UP -
