Radio
Showing the "old" setting first allows
for reconsideration of the decision
to store. If it is desirable to leave the
"old" frequency in memory rather
than exchanging it with the "new"
one, quickly release the button. The
"old" frequency will remain in
memory.
Any AM station can be stored
similarly on any button marked
EZ3.

Stereo reception
The stereo indicator symbol
lights up if a stereo program is
received.
The radio is equipped with an auto­
matic stereo/mono switch that elec­
tronically switches to mono for clear
reception if a weak signal is
received. A special circuit provides
for a smooth change-over rather
than a hard sudden switching,
thereby reducing noise and inter­
ference.
The stereo indicator will remain lit
even if the receiver has changed to
the mono mode and will turn off at
an antenna signal considered insuf­
ficient to provide acceptable recep­
tion quality.
Tape Cassette playback
It is recommended to use only good
quality cassettes with a playback
time of not more than 60 to 90
minutes (C 60) or (C 90).
To start playback, insert a cassette
through the cassette door. Push the
cassette in until it is locked in its
playing position.
