produce this problem. This phenomenon is com-
monly caused by either the tuner's or television's
aerial connection or is associated with personal
computers, electrostatic loudspeakers, subwoofers,
record players or headphone amplifiers, as long
as there is an audio connection to the amplifier.
Another possible source of humming interference is
electromagnetic irradiation from the power supply
unit of other equipment (e.g. amplifiers, receivers,
CD players, tuners etc.) on the pick-up of a connec-
ted record player. It is easy to establish the causes of such faults oneself by changing the position of
the record player in respect of other appliances.
Some amplifiers are fitted with a “Ground lift”
switch. When this is pressed, housing potential
and earth conductor potential are disconnected
from the central appliance signal potential. The
effect of the earth remains unchanged. This can
help to counteract humming loops. If this humming
noise cannot be rectified by your own efforts, your
local stockist will be able to help you.
Run in time / warming up
Your audio appliances need a certain time before
they reach their ultimate sound performance. This
period varies widely depending on the different
components in your system. You will receive better
and more even performance during the time that
the appliance remains switched on.
Make the most of your local stockist's experience!
Humming noises
Certain source equipment can lead to audible
humming noises over the loudspeakers when con-
nected to an amplifier and their volume can be
affected by the volume control. This does not
mean that one of your audio products is faulty, but
it must be prevented by taking appropriate measu-
res. Generally speaking, any mains operated
appliance connected to the amplifier and connec-
ted with the power supply's earth conductor can

To fill a position in the memory, select the radio frequency as already descri-
bed. Then press “MEMORY” followed by a two-digit number from the numeri-
cal keypad to set the required position (1 to 30). The setting only becomes
effective by pressing “MEMORY” again. 30 station presets are available for
each of the frequency bands (AM and FM), respectively.

A volume mute function during manual frequency search (“AUTO” tuning
mode is active) can be switched on and off with this button. It cuts out
interference between the station frequencies. This function is only available
using the remote control.

RDS (Radio Data System) enables text information transmitted from VHF
stations to be displayed. However, not every station includes RDS in its
transmission signal.
By pressing (maybe repeatedly) the “RDS” button, you can switch the
service on and off as well as select the different types of text information.
The SV-123 supports three RDS modes:
PS Station name: the station name is shown on the display using a
maximum of eight characters.
CT Time display: the time is shown. The display shows the current time,
for example “CLK 17:09)”.
PTY Programme the type of radio broadcast (for example “CLASSIC”,
type: if mainly classical music is played) is displayed.
RDS RDS only the station frequency can be seen.
