Operation Manual
The VISO THREE’s internal AM/FM tuner oers very high quality sound
from radio broadcasts. The reception and sound quality will always be
dependent to a degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as well as
proximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.
ABOUT ANTENNAS
Connect the supplied lead-type FM antenna to the FM antenna input.
Extend the lead. Experiment freely with your antenna placement and
orientation until you get the clearest sound and lowest background noise.
Fix the antenna in the desired position by using thumb tacks, push pins or
any suitable means. In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna
can improve performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you,
consider consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your
system.
The AM loop antenna supplied with the VISO THREE (or a suitable
replacement) is required for AM reception. Open the clip terminal lever;
insert the wire making sure to match the color-coded (white and black)
ends of the wire to that of the terminal and close the lever ensuring that
the lever locks the wire in place. Testing dierent positions for the antenna
may improve reception; vertical orientation will usually produce the best
results. Antenna proximity to large metal objects (appliances, radiators) may
impair reception, as will attempts to lengthen the wire to the loop.
The supplied AM “loop” antenna will usually provide adequate reception.
However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception.
Consult an antenna professional for more information.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Unless otherwise specically stated, navigating or accessing AM/FM
functions can be undertaken by using either the VR3 remote control
or the front panel buttons. If the control button or icon button being
referred to is available on the VR3 remote control and front panel, then
the reference to said button is applicable to both the VR3 remote control
and front panel.
IMPORTANT NOTE
When using the VR3 remote control to carry out AM/FM commands,
ensure that the DEVICE SELECTOR is set to “TUN”.
ASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA
1 Rotate the outer frame of the antenna.
2 Insert the bottom edge of the outer frame into the groove on the stand.
3 Extend the antenna cord.
SELECTING A TUNER BAND
Press the [AM/FM/DB] button on the VR3 while at AMP or TUNER device
selector page. Each subsequent press will toggle you through AM, FM or
DAB band. Stop (release button) at your desired tuner band.
TUNING AM/FM STATIONS
Upon selecting AM or FM band, use TUNE [ ] on the VR3 to
perform slow manual search; press and hold to automatically search.
The front panel TUNE [ ] or VR3’s [ ] buttons can also be used
to tune for stations.
1 Press [ ] momentarily to step up or down between AM or FM
frequencies.
2 Press and hold [ ] for more than 2 seconds to search up or down
- the VISO THREE’s tuner will stop at the next suciently strong signal it
encounters.
3 Pressing the [ ] during the search process will stop the search.
DIRECT TUNING
If you know your desired station’s frequency allocation, you can tune
directly to the station.
1 Toggle [ENTER] button to switch between “Preset” and “Tune” mode (see
the lower line of the VFD). Select “Tune” mode.
2 Using the numeric keys of the remote control, key-in the frequency
allocation of the station. For example, to enter 104.50MHz, press “1”, “0”,
“4”, “5” and “0”.
STORING PRESETS (AM/FM )
The VISO THREE can store up to 30 FM and 30 AM stations for immediate
recall.
1 To store a desired AM/FM station to a preset, rst tune to the desired
frequency (see above), then press VR3’s [MEMORY] button. The VFD will
show the next available Preset number – for example, “Preset 4 Free” in
the lower line and on the upper right corner “P-4” with “4” blinking.
2 Press the [MEMORY] button again to store the desired frequency on
the Preset number shown. Your desired frequency is now stored in the
assigned preset.
3 Alternatively, an AM/FM station can be stored to a Preset number by
repeating step 1. Enter a Preset number in two ways
• Directly enter a number between 1 to 30 and then press [MEMORY]
button.
• Toggle [ ] or PRESET [ ] to step through the Preset
numbers, stop at desired number and then press [MEMORY].
NOTE
If there is no more vacant Preset number, you can overwrite an existing
Preset number by pressing the [ ] buttons to select the Preset
number you want to overwrite
