Using FM Mode
Selecting FM Mode
1. Press the SOURCE button repeatedly until FM is displayed.
2. On rst use the display will show 87.50MHz, the start of the FM frequency range. Otherwise, the last
listened-to FM station will be selected.
Scanning for FM Stations
1. To manually scan FM stations, while frequency is displayed, turn the –TUNING+ knob clockwise/
anticlockwise to increase/decrease frequency by 0.05MHz per step.
2. To automatically scan, turn the –TUNING+ knob clockwise or anticlockwise and then press the –TUNING+
knob.
Your Bardot will scan forwards or backwards until it reaches the next available station. To scan forwards,
turn the –TUNING+ knob clockwise before pressing it. To scan backwards turn the –TUNING+ knob
anticlockwise before pressing it.
Setting Scan Preferences
By default, FM scans stop at any available station. This may result in tuning to a weak station, resulting in
poor sound quality. Your Bardot helps you avoid weak stations.
1. To change the scan settings to stop only at stations with good signal strength, press the MENU button,
turn the –TUNING+ knob to select Scan Setting, and then press the –TUNING+ knob to conrm.
2. Turn the –TUNING+ knob to select ‘Strong stations only’, and press the –TUNING+ knob to conrm your
selection.
Forcing mono for weak stations
By default, all stereo stations are reproduced in stereo. For weak stations, this may result in poor sound
quality. Your Bardot can offset this effect by playing weak stations in mono.
1. To play weak stations in mono, press the MENU button, turn the –TUNING+ knob to select Audio setting,
and then press the –TUNING+ knob to conrm.
2. Turn the –TUNING+ knob to select ‘Forced mono’ and press the –TUNING+ knob to conrm.
3. To exit manual tune, press the –TUNING+ knob again.
Setting Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
You can set the compression level of stations to eliminate the differences in dynamic range or sound level
between radio stations. If loud stations are too loud while quiet stations are too quiet, DRC may help.
Note: DRC off indicates no compression
DRC low indicates little compression
DRC high indicates maximum compression
1. Press the MENU button, turn the –TUNING+ knob to select DRC, and press the –TUNING+ knob to conrm.
2. Turn the –TUNING+ knob to select ‘DRC high’, ‘DRC low’ or ‘DRC off’, and then press the –TUNING+ knob to
conrm your setting.
Changing Station Display Order
You may want to display your stations in a different order. Your options are:
Alphanumeric: Display all stations in alphanumeric order.
Ensemble: List currently broadcasting active stations before inactive ones.
Valid: Remove inactive stations from the station list.
1. Press the MENU button, turn the –TUNING+ knob to select Station order, and then press the –TUNING+
knob to conrm.
2. Turn the –TUNING+ knob to select ‘Alphanumeric’, ‘Ensemble’ or ‘Valid’, and then press the –TUNING+ knob
to conrm your selection.
Pruning Your Station List
This feature enables your radio to remove inactive stations from the station list.
