(1) POWER switch
When this switch is set to the ON position, the POWER in-
dicator lights up, and power is supplied to the tuner's main
circuits. The unit's POWER switch is geared to selecting the
transformer's secondary and so even at the STAND-BY posi-
tion, the unit's circuitry will work as long as the power cord is
connected to power outlet. Disconnect the power cord from
the power outlet when you do not plan to use the unit for a
long period of time.

the frequency of the station currently being
received in digital form. The FM band is indicated by MHz,

4) MANUAL
SEARCH/MUTE-OFF
switch/indicator
This switch is used to select either AUTO or MANUAL tun-
ing. For MANUAL tuning, press the switch; the indicator will
light. The MUTE function is OFF during MANUAL tuning. If
the signal from a station is comparatively weak, or if the sta-
tion is some distance away, reception may not be possible
using AUTO tuning. In such cases, the use of MANUAL tun-
ing is recommended.
MUTING
Muting is incorporated to eliminate FM inter-station noise
that can be heard when a station is not tuned in accurately.
It may not be possible to tune in the desired station when
the muting circuit is activated if the signal is weak or if the
station itself is distant. If so, perform tuning without using
muting. Muting does not function for AM reception.
47) FM WIDE switch/indicator
This switch is used to change the FM reception mode be-
tween WIDE and NARROW.
When pressed, the indicator
lights, and FM reception is set to WIDE.
FM WIDE:
Permits high quality, low distor-
tion FM reception.
FM NARROW:
Use if interference from neighbor-
ing stations is present during FM
reception.

ance itself.
