Basic Operation
Memory Tuning
Memory tuning lets you store up to 30 AM or FM frequencies in three
different classes (10 frequencies in each class), then quickly tune to a
class and station.
Follow these steps to store a station in a memory location using the
front panel controls. (You cannot store a station in a memory using the
remote control.)
1. Press FM/AM to select the tuner, then press FM/AM again to select the
desired band.
2. Tune to the frequency you want to store.
If desired, press MPX MODE ( MPX on the remote control) for FM stereo
or monaural sound (see “Using MPX Mode”). This setting is also
stored in memory.
3. Press MEMORY . The class ( A , B , or C ) and
_ _
(for the channel num-
ber) flash on the display for about 5 seconds.
4. Press CLASS until the class you want ( A , B , or C ) appears, then
press STATION until the channel number you want appears.
In about 5 seconds, the class and channel number light steadily,
indicating the receiver stored the frequency.
To tune to a stored station, press CLASS so the desired class number
appears, then repeatedly press STATION to select the channel. Or,
you can directly enter the channel number using that number’s key on
the remote control.
Using MPX Mode To receive FM stations in stereo, press MPX MODE so MONO disappears
from the display. STEREO appears when you receive an FM broadcast in
stereo.
You can improve the reception of weak FM stations by pressing MPX
MODE until MONO appears. This reduces noise while you listen to a weak
FM station, but you get monaural instead of stereo sound.
Adjusting Balance The TONE/BALANCE control lets you adjust the sound balance between the
left and right speakers. If you properly position the speakers and your
listening area is centered between them, the center control setting is
usually best (see “Positioning Speakers” on Page 5).
For an unusual speaker placement, adjust the speaker balance as follows:
1. Press FM/AM to select the tuner, then press FM/AM again to select the
FM band.
2. Press MPX MODE so MONO appears. The sound is monaural instead
of stereo, so each speaker delivers the same output.
3. Repeatedly press SELECT on the front of the receiver until BALANCE
appears. Then press L BALANCE R until you hear the sound coming
equally from each speaker when you are in the listening area.
4. Press MPX MODE so MONO disappears from the display.
Notes:
• If you store a frequency in a memory
that already contains a frequency, you
replace the previous frequency.
• If your receiver is disconnected from
AC power for several days, it loses all
the stored frequencies.
