This function lets you set the intermediate frequency
pass band to WIDE
(wide band), or NARROW
(narrow
band).
WIDE :
Normally set the IF BAND
to WIDE.
This
setting allows reception of good quality sound
with minimal distortion.
lf signal reception is poor due to interference
from a neighboring station when the IF BAND
is set to WIDE, change the IF BAND setting to
NARROW.(With

MODE key (auto stereo/HI BLEND/MONO)
Auto stereo :
Normally set this function to auto stereo. The
tuner automatically switches modes according
to the type of broadcast (stereo or monaural).
(When a monaural broadcast is received, the
"MONO* indicator does not light.)
When
receiving a stereo broadcast which
contains much noise, change the setting to HI
BLEND. The broadcast continues to be received
in stereo but the noise level is reduced.
If noise is noticeable even at the HI BLEND
setting, change the setting to MONO.
The
broadcast is received in monaural and the noise
level is further reduced.
Lights when HI BLEND mode is turned on.

distortion easily occurs. By switching the RF ATT switch
from O0dB to -5 ,-15dB the RF reciprocal modulation and
mixed modulation can be minimized.
OdB :
Usually set to "0dB". With the ACTIVE RECEP-
TION switched ON, when receiving channel
broadcasts, if the radio waves are strong, au-
tomatically ATT is switched in 2.5 dB steps
from between 0dB to - 15dB.

When receiving cable broadcasts, when the
radio waves are strong, select a high number.
