Receiving Broadcasts Tips Before receiving broadcasts, make sure you have connected FM and AM antennas to the receiver (page 7). Direct tuning You can enter a frequency of the station you want directly by using the numeric buttons on the supplied remote. For details on the buttons used in this section, see pages 48–57 for remote RM-PG411 and pages 48–55 for remote RM-PP411. 1 Press TUNER on the remote. The last received station is tuned in. 2 Press FM or AM to select the FM or AM band. 3 Press D.
To change a preset number to another station Preset tuning After you have tuned in stations using Direct Tuning or Automatic Tuning, you can preset them to the receiver. Then you can tune in any of the stations directly by entering its 2-character preset code using the supplied remote. Up to 30 FM or AM stations can be preset. The receiver will also scan all the stations that you have preset. Before tuning to preset stations, be sure to preset them by performing steps on “Presetting radio stations”.
Other Operations Naming preset stations and program sources You can enter a name (index name) of up to 8 characters for preset stations and program sources. These names (for example, “VHS”) appear in the receiver’s display when a station or program source is selected. Note that no more than one name can be entered for each preset station or program source. This function is useful for distinguishing components of the same kind. For example, two VCRs can be specified as “VHS” and “8MM”, respectively.
Notes Tip • You cannot record a digital audio signal using a component connected to the analog TAPE OUT or MD/DAT OUT jacks (STR-DE985) or the analog MD/TAPE OUT jacks (STR-DE885). To record a digital audio signal, connect a digital component to the DIGITAL MD/DAT OUT jacks (STR-DE985) or the DIGITAL MD/TAPE OUT jacks (STRDE885). • Sound adjustments do not affect the signal output from the TAPE OUT or MD/DAT OUT jacks (STR-DE985) or the MD/TAPE OUT jacks (STR-DE885).

CONTROL A1 system control Getting Started This section explains the basic functions of the CONTROL A1 Control System. Certain components have special functions, such as “CD Synchro Dubbing” on cassette decks, that require CONTROL A1 connections. For detailed information regarding specific operations, be sure to also refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with your component(s).
Jacks and connection examples Notes CONTROL A1 CONTROL A1 CD player MD deck On CONTROL A1 jacks and connections About the connecting cord Some CONTROL A1 compatible components are supplied with a connecting cord as an accessory. In this case, use the connecting cord for your connection. When using a commercially available cord, use a monaural mini-plug cord less than 2 meters long, with no resistance (such as the Sony RK-G69HG).

Additional Information Troubleshooting Precautions On safety Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. On power sources • Before operating the unit, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the receiver.
There is no sound from one of the front speakers. Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack to verify that sound is output from the headphones (page 27). If only one channel is output from the headphones, the component may not be connected to the receiver correctly. Check that all the cords are fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component. If both channels are output from the headphones, the front speaker may not be connected to the receiver correctly.
Troubleshooting (continued) To connect an LD player via an RF demodulator. Connect the LD player to the RF demodulator, then connect the RF demodulator’s optical or coaxial digital output to the receiver’s jack. When making this connection, be sure to set INPUT MODE manually (page 26). The receiver may not operate correctly if INPUT MODE is set to “AUTO 2CH”. For details on DOLBY DIGITAL RF hookups, see the operating instructions supplied with your RF demodulator. The FM reception is poor.
