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
FM MONO
for FM stereo or monaural sound (see “Using
FM MONO”). This setting is also stored in memory.
3. Press
MEMORY
. The class (
A
,
B
, or
C
) and
__
(for the channel number)
flash on the display for about 5 seconds.
4. Press
CLASS
until the class you want (
A
,
B
, or
C
) appears, then press
STA
-
TION
or until the channel number you want appears.
In about five seconds, the class and channel number light steadily, indi-
cating the receiver stored the frequency.
To tune to a stored station, press
CLASS
so the desired class number appears,
then repeatedly press
STATION
or to select the channel. Or, you can directly
enter the channel number using that number’s key on the remote control.
Using FM MONO
To receive FM stations in stereo, press
FM MONO
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
FM MONO
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 “Posi-
tioning 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
FM MONO
so
MONO
appears. The sound is monaural instead of ste-
reo, so each speaker delivers the same output.
3. Repeatedly press
TONE/BALANCE
on the front of the receiver until
BAL-
ANCE
appears. Then press
DOWN/LEFT
or
UP/RIGHT
until you hear the
sound coming equally from each speaker when you are in the listening
area.
4. Press
FM MONO
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.
Note:
A class is a group of up to 10 sta-
tion frequencies.
