If the FM stereo programme you are listening to
is distorted, switch to monaural mode.
The tuner stores the following adjustments,
together with the frequency when you make a
station preset.
The following settings do not change even if the
frequency changes.
Switching to monaural mode
You will not have the stereo effect but the
distortion will be reduced.
1 Press MENU.
2 Turn TUNING/SELECT to display “FM
MODE”.
3 Press ENTER.
4 Turn TUNING/SELECT to display
“MONO”.
5 Press ENTER.
The FM mode is set and the display returns
to MENU mode.
Tips
• To return to stereo mode, choose “STEREO” in step
4 above.
• You can also switch back and forth from “STEREO”
to “MONO” mode simply by pressing the “FM
MODE” button on the remote.
• This setting does not change when you select another
frequency in MANUAL/AUTO tuning modes.
• When in PRESET tuning mode, any changes you
make are restored to the original settings once you
switch to a different preset. In order to avoid this,
make sure you store any new settings in the station
preset (see “Storing stations manually” on page 12).
Note
This procedure is only available with FM band
reception.
— DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
(DAB only)
Allows you to compress the dynamic range of
the programme. This may be useful when you
want to listen to the tuner at low volume late at
night.
Switching the setting
This feature is only available when using DAB
service that carries DRC data. “DRC” lights in
the display when it is activated.
You can automatically adjust the signal level of
broadcasts which have wide dynamic ranges:
i.e. programmes that have soft as well as loud
sounds.
1 Press BAND repeatedly to select DAB.
2 Press MENU.
3 Turn TUNING/SELECT to display
“DAB DRC”.
4 Press ENTER.
5 Turn TUNING/SELECT to select the
desired setting.
The initial setting is “DRC OFF”.
DRC OFF: The dynamic range is not
compressed.
DRC AUTO: The dynamic range is
compressed automatically.
6 Press ENTER.
The DRC setting is registered and the
display returns to MENU mode.
Note
The DAB INIT SCAN procedure resets DRC setting to
DRC OFF.
