@ ACOUSTIC Switch
MEMORY:
Pressing this switch will result in the memorization of the sound quality
{tone control condition). Press again to cancel this mode.
SELECT
This switch has three functions:
Each time you press the switch, the sound quality setting advances in
the order shown below.
[FLAT -» LOUDNESS > A-®B-®C-»D-©E |
(J FLAT: For flat (normal) frequency response.
i
LOUDNESS: Emphasizes the low- and high- frequency ranges.
Produces a fuller sense of sound.
tt_| A—E: Memorized acoustic memory settings.
© To preset the acoustic memories (A—E).
* To recall previously set sound quality settings.
Presetting the acoustic memory
@ Adjust the sound quality as desired using the BASS and TREBLE
control switches. LOUDNESS or FLAT only, can also be chosen.
® Settings are shown by the TONE indicator on the display section.
@ Press the ACOUSTIC MEMORY switch.
™ The TONE indicator on the display section blinks on and off.
@ Press the ACOUSTIC SELECT switch and select the sign to which
you wish to assign the setting (A — E).
® The sound quality setting is memorized approximately two
seconds after you last press the ACOUSTIC SELECT switch.
In this way, the desired tone will be preset in one of the five acoustic
memory positions. To preset four other desired tone settings, perform
the same operations.
To recall the memorized tone settings, press the ACOUSTIC SELECT
switch to select the desired memory position. In this way, five different
tone settings can be preset and recalled in the five positions of the
acoustic memory.
@ BASS control switches
Use to adjust the low-frequency level. Press the + switch to increase
low-frequency level, and the — switch to decrease it.
The TONE indicator appears on the display section.
When both sides (+, —) of the BASS control are pressed
simultaneously, the base response will be set to the flat (normal)
condition.
TREBLE control switches
Use to adjust the high-frequency level. Press the + switch to increase
high-frequency level, and the — switch to decrease it.
The TONE indicator appears on the display section.
When both sides (+, —) of the TREBLE control are pressed
simultaneously, the treble response will be set to the flat (normal)
condition.
@ TUNING switches
[When tuning]
+ : Performs tuning in ascending frequency order.
— : Performs tuning in descending frequency order.
84
{When inputting station names}
+ + Displays the letters in alphabetical order.
= : Displays the alphabet in reverse order.
@ MEMORY SCAN switch
Operates when the INPUT SELECTOR is set to TUNER. Station
frequencies assigned to the STATION CALL switches are tuned in, one
after another, beginning with the current station no., for approximately
5 seconds each, The display section SCAN indicator will light. Press
the switch again and the tuner remains tuned in to the station playing
when the switch was pressed the second time.
Station frequencies not assigned station numbers in the memory are
skipped.
@ HITS (Hyper Intelligent Tuning System) switch
* If the HITS switch is pressed at the currently displayed station
frequency, the receiver searches up and down the frequency for the
next station (The SEARCH indicator in the display section lights at
this time.) and stops at the first one it finds.
© If the HITS switch is pressed during STATION NAME input,
the receiver performs a memory search in order of ascending
station number for memorized stations whose names begin with the
same letter as the station just input.
* If the HITS switch is pressed during input of numbers for DIRECT
ACCESS tuning, the receiver sets the remaining digits which have
not yet been input to "0", searches for the corresponding frequencies,
and stops on the first station it finds.
NOTE:
* The system searches for stations within successive 1MHz ranges for
FM and 100 kHz ranges for AM. During DIRECT ACCESS tuning, it
searches up and down for a station until it reaches the edges of the
band. If no receivable station is found within the band range, the
receiver returns to the state it was in before the HITS switch was
pressed.
© /f the upper (or lower) frequency limit of the receiver is encountered
during HITS operation, the receiver stops searching in that direction
but continues to search in the other.
@) MEMORY switch
When the unit is in the frequency display mode, pressing this switch
will result in the memorization of the current broadcast band, reception
frequency ACOUSTIC MEMORY position, and FM AUTO/MONO mode.
This switch is also used to input station names
@ STATION NAME switch
This switch is used when inputting station names
@ AUTO/MANUAL TUNING selector switch
This switch is used to select the tuning mode. The AUTO tuning mode
has been selected when the TUNING AUTO indicator lights.
AUTO tuning
'When the — or + TUNING switch is pressed, the receiver automatically
scans the broadcast station frequencies. When a broadcast is detected,
the scanning stops at that frequency.
NOTE:
Pressing the TUNING switch (~ or +} while scanning is taking place
causes scanning to stop.
MANUAL tuning
This is the usual tuning method. Each time the ~ or + TUNING switch
is pressed, the reception frequency is changed by one channel step.
When pressed continuously, the receiver scans the bioadcast
frequencies continuously.
@ DIRECT ACCESS TUNING switch
When this switch is pressed, the STATION CALL switches function as
ten-key number switches for direct input of the desired reception
frequency.
If the input station falls outside of the receiver's tuning range, the display
section will display a message: "'UPPER"' if the frequency is too high
and "LOWER" if it is too low.
