OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FM RECEPTION
1. Set the Selector switch to FM AUTO.
2. Set the MUTING LEVEL switch to OFF.
This switch cuts FM noise between stations with an efficiency
that varies according to 1 (weak) or 2 (strong) settings. But it
also affects reception of weak FM signals, and should therefore
be left off except when tuning. For details, see the facing page.
3. Turn the TUNING knob to select a station. First tune so that the
SIGNAL meter needle swings as far to the right as possible, then
finish the precise tuning by centering the TUNING meter needle.
If the STEREO indicator lamp lights, the broadcast is in stereo;
if not, it is monophonic.
4. Set the OUTPUT LEVEL knob to its central position. For details,
see the facing page.
5. If you are using a stereo amplifier, set its controls for the desired
volume level and tonal quality.
6. If continuous high-frequency noise occurs during FM stereo listen­
ing, set the Selector switch to MPX FILTER position.
Note: It may be impossible to eliminate noise from an FM stereo broadcast if the signal is
extremely weak. In such a case the relative signal strength can be improved by switch­
ing to FM MONO with the Selector switch. While the stereo effect will be lost some­
what, a great deal of the noise can be substantially eliminated in this way.
GROUND
For optimum safety and noise-free performance by sure the GND
terminal is connected to a good ground.
AM RECEPTION
1. Set the Selector switch to position AM.
2. Turn the tuning knob to select a station. Tune in so that the
SIGNAL meter needle swings as far to the right as possible.
3. If you are using a stereo amplifier, set its controls for the desired
volume level and tonal quality.
