TUNING Buttons
CH TUNING Buttons
The buttons labeled TUNING on the front panel
or CH UP/DOWN on the remote control pro-
vide two different tuning functions, depend-
ing on the mode of operation.
In the normal FREQUENCY TUNING
mode, press a TUNING button and release
to manually jump up or down to the next sta-
tion frequency, regardless of whether or not
a station is broadcasting on that frequency.
For auto scan tuning, press and hold the TUN-
ING button for approximately one second. An
AUTO indicator appears in the front panel dis-
play and the tuner begins automatically scan-
ning up or down through the frequencies until
the next available station 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 and release to jump up or
down to the next memorized station preset.
Switch between FREQUENCY and PRESET tun-
ing modes by pressing the SHIFT button
and then the BAND/TV button on the re-
mote control. A PRESET indicator appears in
the display when PRESET TUNING is activated.
NOTE
: Several indicators in the front panel
display assist tuning. A large display shows
the tuned frequency and increases or de-
creases during tuning. A TUNED indicator
lights when a sufficiently strong signal is re-
ceived. A ST indicator lights when a stereo
FM signal is received.
TUNE/PRESET Button
[SHIFT] TV Button
The TUNE PRESET button toggles between
FREQUENCY TUNING mode (the CH TUN-
ING buttons advance to the next station fre-
quency) and PRESET TUNING mode (the CH
TUNING buttons advance to the next memo-
rized station preset). To change modes, press
the front panel TUNE PRESET button. To change
modes using the remote, press the SHIFT but-
ton and then the TV button. A PRESET indica-
tor in the front panel DISPLAY lights when the
PRESET mode is active.
NUMERIC Buttons:
Station Presets
The RX-1050 can store up to 30 station pre-
sets for recall at any time using the NUMERIC
buttons on the remote control. 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 flashes 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 ex-
ample, to memorize preset 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, selecting a station preset will
automatically switch to the TUNER input and
tune the memorized station.
The NUMERIC buttons can also be used for
direct access tuning (see below).
DIRECT FREQUENCY/10 Button
If you know the frequency of the desired sta-
tion, you may tune it directly using the DIRECT
FREQUENCY/10 button and the NUMERIC
buttons
on the remote.
1. Press the DIRECT FREQUENCY/10 button
to change the NUMERIC buttons from sta-
tion preset to frequency direct mode. The
station frequency in the front panel display
change to a series of four bars, represent-
ing 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
appears in the frequency display and the
second bar flashes. Enter the remaining
digits of the frequency. When all of the digits
have been entered, the tuner automatically
tunes to the displayed station frequency.
NOTE
: On the USA version, pressing 1 in
the FM mode will enter 10 as the digit in
the frequency display. On the European
version, it is necessary to press 1 and then
0 to enter 10. For US FM stations, press
only one digit following the decimal point
as shown in the first example below. For
European FM stations, press two digits fol-
lowing the decimal point as shown in the
second example.
EXAMPLES:
(USA FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5
(Europe FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5>0
(all AM) 1610kHz Press 1>6>1>0
Preset Scanning
[SHIFT] MUTE Buttons
This shift function activates a PRESET SCAN-
NING feature, playing each memorized preset
station for five seconds before moving to the
next. Using the remote, press the SHIFT but-
ton and then the MUTE button to begin scan-
ning. To stop the PRESET SCANNING on the
desired station, press the SHIFT button and then
the MUTE button.
