CANCELING BEAT NOISE WHEN RECEIVING AM
BROADCAST SIGNALS
Introduction:
The PS2100 incorporates a high-performance digital amplifier.
Because this digital amplifier uses high-frequency signals, the
following problem may be encountered when receiving AM broadcast
signals:
Depending on the frequency of the AM broadcast, a high-pitched tone
may be generated, making it difficult to listen to the broadcast. If this
happens, perform the procedure described below and use the setting
that results in the least amount of noise.
Procedure:
While listening to an AM broadcast, press the SURROUND button D
on the front panel. On the remote control, press the AMP button v
and then press 4 button .. Pressing this button once shifts the
oscillating frequency of the digital amp; pressing the button again will
shift the oscillating frequency back to the original frequency.
Set whichever frequency produces the least amount of beat noise.
The above operation can only be performed when AM band is
selected.
Preset memory method:
If you perform the normal preset memory operation after performing
the above operation, the beat cancel setting will be stored in preset
memory.
Auto-preset memory:
When an AM broadcast is received during the auto-preset memory
operation, the audio from the broadcast will be output on the speakers
for five seconds. If beat noise can be heard, press the SURROUND
button D.
Note:
If the reception frequency is changed after the AM beat cancel
operation has been performed, the AM beat cancel setting is
cancelled. The setting is also cancelled if a preset memory setting for
which the beat cancel setting was not stored is called up. To save the
setting in memory, refer to the explanations for "Preset memory
method" and "Auto-preset memory" above.
Note that AM beat cancel ON/OFF is not displayed on the LCD.
