NOTES:
(On auto tuning)
Ф Because of the high sensitivity of this unit, it may automatically
stop even at very weak overseas stations. The same can happen
with aggregate radio noise emitted in cities.
• During reception of an AM broadcast, auto tuning of only strong
local stations is possible by changing the direction of the loop
antenna or folding it down. After tuning, move the loop antenna
back to its previous position.
Ф Tune extremely weak stations with manual tuning.
Ф If the radio waves of available stereo stations are weaker than a
certain level, the auto tuning may not function for these stations.
(When receiving FM broadcasts)
Ф If there is distortion because the radio signal is too strong, press
the RF attenuator (HF ATT) button to light the RF ATT indicator.
Ф If there is too much noise during reception of an FM stereo
broadcast, press the MPX MODE button to light the MONO
indicator. Switching to monaural reception results in clearer
reception.
The TUNED Indicator
When the TUNED indicator is not lit, reception is not possible even
if the tuning frequency is correct. This is because the antenna
terminal input is too weak. Check whether the antenna cable is
firmly connected. If it is, consult your nearest dealer and install an
outdoor antenna.
Last station memory
• When the (1) STANDBY/ON switch is pressed to turn the power
on, the last station received before the power was turned off will
be received again.
• When the power is ON and the BAND button is pressed, the last
station received on that band will be received again.
5. Adjust the volume and tone of the stereo
amplifier.
