BAND Button
Press the BAND button to toggle between AM
and FM reception. An indicator in the front-
panel display confirms your choice and the
currently tuned station frequency is shown.
NOTE
: If the TUNER is not already the selected
input source, pressing the BAND button will
automatically switch to the TUNER input.
TUNING Buttons
The TUNING buttons (labeled CH UP/DOWN
on the remote control) provide three different
tuning functions, depending on the mode of
operation.
In the normal FREQUENCY tuning
mode, press a TUNING button (CH UP/
DOWN on the remote) and release to manu-
ally jump to the next station frequency, regard-
less of whether or not a station is broadcast-
ing on that frequency. For auto frequency search
tuning, press and hold the TUNING button for
approximately one second. An AUTO indicator
will appear in the front-panel display and the
tuner will begin scanning up or down through
the frequencies until the next available signal
is detected. If this is not the desired station,
repeat the automatic tuning procedure to find
the next station. Weak stations will be skipped
during auto tuning.
In the PRESET tuning mode, press a
TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the re-
mote) and release to jump to the next memo-
rized station preset. Switch between FRE-
QUENCY and PRESET tuning modes by press-
ing the PRESET button
on the remote con-
trol. A PRESET indicator appears in the dis-
play when PRESET TUNING is activated.
In the RDS PTY search mode, press a
TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN on the re-
mote) to select the desired program type from
the scrolling list in the display. See the section
on RDS tuning for more details.
NOTE
: Several indicators in the front-panel dis-
play assist tuning. A large display shows the
tuned frequency. A TUNED indicator lights
when a sufficiently strong signal is received.
A ST indicator lights when a stereo FM signal
is received.
NOTE
: If the TUNER is not already the selected
input source, pressing a TUNING button (CH
UP/DOWN on the remote) will automatically
switch to the TUNER input.
MEMORY Button
The MEMORY button is used with the NUMERIC
buttons to store memorized station presets. See
the next section for detailed instructions.
NUMERIC Buttons:
Station Presets
The RSX-1065 can store up to 30 station pre-
sets for recall at any time using the NUMERIC
buttons. To memorize a station:
1. Tune to the desired station, AM or FM.
2. Press the MEMORY button on the front-
panel. A MEMORY indicator will flash for
five seconds in the front-panel display.
3. While the MEMORY indicator is flashing,
press the number of the preset where you
wish to store the station frequency. For
example, to memorize the station as pre-
set 3, press the 3 button. To memorize preset
15, press the 1 button followed by the 5
button.
4. A previously stored frequency is erased from
memory when a new frequency is memo-
rized for the same preset number.
To tune to a previously memorized station, just
press the preset number on the NUMERIC
buttons. For example, to tune to preset 3, press
the 3 button. To tune to preset 15, press the 1
button and then press the 5 button.
NOTE
: If the TUNER is not already the selected
input source, pressing a NUMERIC button will
automatically switch to the TUNER input.
The NUMERIC buttons can also be used for
direct access tuning (see next section).
DIRECT Button
If you know the frequency of the desired sta-
tion, you may tune it directly using the DIRECT
button and the NUMERIC buttons.
1. Press the DIRECT button to change the
NUMERIC buttons from station preset to
Direct Access mode. The station frequency
in the front-panel display will change to a
series of four bars, representing the digits
of a station frequency, with the first bar
flashing.
2. Enter the first digit of the station frequency
using the NUMERIC buttons. The digit will
appear in the frequency display and the
second bar will flash. Enter the remaining
digits of the frequency. Note that in FM
mode, pressing 1 will enter 10 as the digit
in the frequency display. When all of the
necessary digits have been entered (a fi-
nal 0 is displayed automatically), the re-
ceiver will tune to the displayed station fre-
quency.
Examples:
FM87.50MHz Press: 8 > 7 > 5
FM101.90MHz Press: 1 > 1 > 9
AM1610kHz Press: 1 > 6 > 1
MONO Button
The MONO button changes the FM mode from
stereo reception to mono reception. In stereo
mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the sta-
tion is broadcasting a stereo signal and there
is sufficient signal strength. An ST indicator will
light in the front-panel display. In mono mode,
a mono signal will be heard even if the sta-
tion is broadcasting a stereo signal.
NOTE
: Switching to mono mode can improve
the reception of weak or distant FM signals.
Less signal strength is required for clean mono
reception than for stereo reception.
PRESET Button
The PRESET button on the remote toggles be-
tween frequency tuning mode and preset tuning
mode. In frequency tuning mode, the TUNING
buttons (CH UP/DOWN on the remote ) ad-
vance to the next station frequency. In preset
tuning mode, the TUNING buttons advance
to the next memorized station preset. A PRE-
SET indicator in the front-panel display lights
in preset mode.
