Operation 12
Program search
Operation:
With Tuner selected . . .
    /    
press
for 2 sec
Start program search in
appropriate direction (up or
down)
e.g.
89-00 89-00 89-00 89-00
Explanation:
If you hold one of the tuning buttons (     /    ) pressed
in for about 2 seconds when in Tuner mode, the K6
starts a program search in the downward or upward
direction. It stops automatically at the next high-quality
station, and tunes it in accurately. If you release the
tuning button at this moment, the tuner remains on this
station. If you continue to hold it pressed in, the K6 re-
sumes the search after about 2 seconds.
The search can be stopped at any point by briefly press-
ing the opposite tuning button.
Briefly pressing any Program Select button activates the
program you last selected.

Optional: enter the pro-

    /    
press
briefly
Fine-tune in direction of
lower or higher frequency e.g.
--+-- 89-00 --+-- 89-00 --+-- 89-00 --+-- 89-00
Explanation:
Under difficult reception conditions it may be necessary
to carry out fine-tuning. With the fine-tune function you
can adjust the tuning in 25 kHz increments, or slightly re-
tune a station which you are picking up with interference.
Press the
    or    button briefly to do this.
The exact setting can be checked with the center display
(Tuning Indicator adjacent to the frequency display).
The station is correctly set and will be received at opti-
mum quality when the cross symbol is in the center.
After carrying out fine-tuning the program must be stored
again manually; see 'Manual storing of radio pro-
grams'.

mode
*) The Tuner Menu is also displayed on the screen of a
TV set connected to the system.
The following symbol combinations on the integral
screen indicate the current reception mode:
    - Normal / Stereo
     Attenuator switched on
- - Mono reception
Explanation:
The Tuner can be set to any of three different reception
modes using the Tuner Menu.
The basic Tuner setting is Normal / Stereo. Under nor-
mal conditions this mode of reception produces out-
standing sound quality.
If you have tuned to a transmitter which is close to an
unusually powerful local station, you may suffer inter-
modulation effects (whistling and twittering sounds). In
this case we recommend switching on the aerial attenu-
ator (Attenuator).
If you have tuned to a very weak or very distant station
which can only be picked up with serious hiss, we rec-
ommend that you switch to MONO mode as this mark-
edly reduces background noise. The search threshold is
automatically reduced if you select the Mono reception
mode, and the automatic program search now stops at
distant, weak and slightly noisy stations as well as pow-
erful transmitters.
