  • Page 12: Antenna Connections

    ANTENNA CONNECTIONS Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
  • Page 13: Speaker Balance Adjustment

    SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT This procedure lets you adjust the sound output level balance between the front, center, and rear speakers using the built-in test tone generator. With this adjustment, the sound output level heard at the listening position will be the same from each speaker. This is important for the best performance of the digital sound field processor.
  • Page 14 Select the center channel output mode according to your speaker configuration. (Refer to “SPEAKER CONFIGURATION” on page 6.) CENTER MODE On the feature of each mode, refer to the “Note” shown below. Note In step 6, when you select the center channel output mode, note the following.
  • Page 15 Adjust the BALANCE control so that the effect sound output level of the left front speaker and the right front speaker are the same. BALANCE Adjust the sound output level of the center speaker to be at the same level as that of the front speakers with the CENTER LEVEL keys.

    Selecting the SPEAKER system Because one or two speaker systems (as front speakers) can be connected to this unit, the SPEAKERS switches allow you to select speaker system A or B, or both at once. SPEAKERS Adjusting the BALANCE control Adjust the balance of the output volume to the left and right speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by speaker location or listening room conditions.
  • Page 19: Tuning Operations

    Normally, if station signals are strong and there is no interference, quick automatic-search tuning (AUTOMATIC TUNING) is possible. However, if signals of the station you want to select are weak, you must tune to it manually (MANUAL TUNING). AUTOMATIC TUNING Select the reception band (FM or AM) while watching the display.
  • Page 20: Preset Tuning

    MANUAL PRESET TUNING This unit can store station frequencies (selected by tuning operation) by using the preset station buttons. With this function, you can select any desired station by only pressing the corresponding preset station button. Up to 40 stations (8 stations x 5 pages) can be stored.
  • Page 21 AUTOMATIC PRESET TUNING You can also make use of an automatic preset tuning function for RDS stations only. By this function, this unit performs automatic tuning and stores RDS stations with strong signals sequentially. Up to 40 stations are stored automatically in the same way as in the manual preset tuning method on page 20.

    EXCHANGING PRESET STATIONS You can exchange the places of two preset stations with each other as shown below. 2, 4 Example) If you want to shift the preset station on E1 to A5, and vice versa. Recall the preset station on E1 (by following the method of “To recall a preset station”...
  • Page 23: Receiving Rds Stations

    RECEIVING RDS STATIONS RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal. RDS data contains various information, such as AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station), PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service station name), PTY (Program Type name), etc.
  • Page 24 To turn the unit into the PS mode or PTY mode Press the FREQ/PS/PTY button. Whenever pressed, the mode changes into the PS mode, PTY mode and returns to usual mode in turn. * When an RDS station is received, the display is automatically turned into the PS mode. Do not press the FREQ/PS/PTY button until the display is turned into the PS mode.
  • Page 25 Calling a preset RDS station by the station name (PS SEEK) You can call a desired RDS station stored in this unit by only inputting the name of the station in the PS mode. By this operation, this unit searches all preset stations for the station. You do not have to input a full name, even only the first letter can be used for calling.
  • Page 26 Calling a preset RDS station by the program type (PTY SEEK) By designating a program type, the unit automatically searches all preset stations for RDS stations of that program type. * There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. For details, refer to page 23. Turn the unit into the PTY mode.
