Tuning
Your tuner has special features design-
ed to give you the best possible sound
quality under a variety of conditions.
Seek-St
Begin with the Seek-St function on.
("SEEK" will light up on the display
panel.) In this mode, pressing the A or
Vv Tuning buttons causes the tuner to
step up or down the broadcast band,
stopping at the next strong signal it
receives.
If you wish to locate a weak station,
which the tuner skips over in Seek-St
mode, only then should you turn the
Seek-St function off. Pressing the &
and W Tuning buttons in this mode
allows you to tune to any desired
frequency.
NOTE: When Seek-St is off, all broad-
casts are received in mono. This
eliminates the excessive noise that
results when weak stations are receiv-
ed in stereo. When you tune to a new,
stronger station, be sure to turn the
Seek-St function back on in order to
receive broadcasts in stereo.
Hi-Blend
If you tune to a stereo broadcast (in
Seek-St mode) with a relatively weak
signal, you may encounter excessive,
unpleasant noise. If this happens,
turn on the Hi-Blend function. ("HI-
BLEND?" will light up on the display
panel.) In this mode, your tuner will
blend stereo sound with less noisy
monaural sound, for a more pleasing
overall effect. When you turn to a
stronger station, be sure to turn Hi-
Blend off, to receive full stereo sound.
NOTE: When you enter a preset
station in memory, the current settings
of Seek-St and Hi-Blend are also
recorded. Subsequently, whenever
you tune a station by pressing a
preset button, the tuner automatically
switches to the pre-selected Seek-St
and Hi-Blend settings for that station.
Active Tracking/Fine Tuning
(TU9600 only.)
These features are designed to
reduce signal interference that can
occur when you tune into a weak FM
station adjacent to a stronger station.
First, tune to the station you wish to
hear. If you hear interference from an
adjacent station, press the Active
Tracking button. The words "FINE
TUNING" and the circle beneath them
will be illuminated, and the interfer-
ence will be reduced or eliminated.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If some interference remains, begin
pressing the Fine Tuning button to
shift the receiving frequency away
from the stronger station. Five Fine
Tuning positions are possible, indi-
cated by the four arrows and center
circle on the display. (See diagram
below.) Press the Fine Tuning button
until you have found the position that
produces the best sound.

NOTE: When you enter a preset
station in memory, Active Tracking
and Fine Tuning settings are also
recorded. When a station is selected
using a Preset button, the unit auto-
matically tunes to the settings origi-
nally selected for that station.
Preset Buttons
Your tuner allows you to store 24
station settings and quickly access
them, using the 8 Preset buttons along
with the Shift ABC button.
The 24 preset stations are designated
by the letter A, B, or C, followed by a
number from 7 to & Any letter/number
designation may be used for any AM
or FM station, in whatever combination
you choose.
To enter a station in memory.
1. Tune to the desired station.
2. Be sure Seek-St and Hi-Blend set-
tings are in the desired position.

Tracking, Fine Tuning and Antenna
settings.)
3. Press the Shift ABC button until
desired /etter, A, B, or C, appears
on the display. (See diagram

seconds, during which a station
can be entered into the memory.

button.
