Listening To The Radio; Improving Fm Sound; Using The Noise Cut Mode; Using Neural Surround - Pioneer SC-LX73 Operating Instructions Manual

Basic playback

Listening to the radio

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and
AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and
manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the
frequency of the station you want, see Tuning directly to a
station below. Once you are tuned to a station you can
memorize the frequency for recall later—see Saving
station presets below for more on how to do this.
1 SC-LX83 only: Set the remote control operation
selector switch to SOURCE.
2 Press TUNER to select the tuner.
3 Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM), if
necessary.
4 Tune to a station.
There are three ways to do this:
Automatic tuning – To search for stations in the
currently selected band, press and hold TUNE /
for about a second. The receiver will start searching
for the next station, stopping when it has found one.
Repeat to search for other stations.
Manual tuning – To change the frequency one step
at a time, press TUNE /.
High speed tuning – Press and hold TUNE / for
high speed tuning. Release the button at the
frequency you want.

Improving FM sound

If the TUNED or STEREO indicator doesn't light when
tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press
MPX to switch the receiver into mono reception mode.
This should improve the sound quality and allow you to
enjoy the broadcast.

Using the noise cut mode

The two noise cut modes can be used when receiving AM
broadcasts. Press MPX to select the noise cut mode (1 to
2).

Using Neural Surround

This feature uses Neural Surround™ technologies to
achieve optimal surround sound from FM radio.
• While listening to FM radio, press AUTO/ALC/
DIRECT for Neural Surround.
The Neural Surround mode can be selected also with
STANDARD.

Tuning directly to a station

1 SC-LX83 only: Set the remote control operation
selector switch to SOURCE.
2 Press TUNER to select the tuner.
3 Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM), if
necessary.
4 Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
5 Use the number buttons to enter the frequency of
the radio station.
For example, to tune to 106.00 (FM), press 1, 0, 6, 0, 0.
If you make a mistake halfway through, press D.ACCESS
twice to cancel the frequency and start over.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's
convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for
easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station.
This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This
receiver can memorize up to 63 stations, stored in seven
banks, or classes (A to G) of 9 stations each.
1 Tune to a station you want to memorize.
See Listening to the radio above for more on this.
2 Press T.EDIT (TUNER EDIT).
The display shows PRESET MEMORY, then a blinking
memory class.
3 Press CLASS to select one of the seven classes, then
press PRESET / to select the station preset you
want.
You can also use the number buttons to select a station
preset.
4 Press ENTER.
After pressing ENTER, the preset class and number stop
blinking and the receiver stores the station.
