Changing the Local Seek Sensitivity
1.Use button [6] to select a band.
2.Hold down the button © of Bank [11] for
more than 2 seconds, and the display will
show you the current local seek sensitivi-
ty for about 5 seconds.
3.While the local seek sensitivity remains
on the display, press the (P>) side of but-
ton [1] to increase the sensitivity level,
and the ("€) side to decrease the level as
shown below:
FM
: LOC-1 = LOC-2 = LOC-3 = LOC4
MW/LW : LOC-1
= LOC-2
The LOC- setting allows reception of only
the strongest stations, while lower set-
tings let you receive progressively weaker
Stations.
The display of local seek sensitivity
returns to the frequency when about 5
seconds have elapsed after the change of
sensitivity.
Switching between Local and DX (distant)
Press button © Bank [11] to switch between
Local and DX (distant) seek tuning.
When "LOC.S" [17] is shown on the display,
seek tuning is performed with the local seek
sensitivity. Otherwise, seek tuning is per-
formed with the DX seek sensitivity.

About Cassette Tapes
¢ Do not use tapes longer than C-90-type
(90 min.) cassettes. Longer tapes can
interfere with tape transport.
« A loose or warped label on a cassette
tape may interfere with the eject mecha-
nism of the unit or cause the cassette to
become jammed in the unit. Avoid using
such tapes or remove such labels from
the cassette before attempting use.
Manual Tuning
Use manual tuning when stations are too
weak to be picked up by seek tuning.
1.Press both (<@ and (>) sides of button [1]
at the same time to turn "MANU* [18] on.
2.Each press of the (>) side of button [1]
increases the frequency in 50 kHz steps in
the FM band, 9 kHz in the MW band and
1kHz in the LW band. Pressing the (<4)
side of button [1] decreases the frequency.
Holding down either side of button [1]
changes the frequency at high speed.
Switching between FM Stereo and
Mono
Generally, it is best to allow the ARC
(Automatic Reception Control) function to
automatically set the optimum listening
conditions. When stereo broadcasting is re-
ceived, "CD" [15] will appear on the display.
When there is a large amount of noise, you
can press button © of Bank [11] for clearer
mono reception (" MONO" [16] will appear
on the display).
¢ Storing cassettes in areas directly ex-
posed to sunlight or high temperatures
can distort them and subsequently inter-
fere with tape transport. (Fig. 5)

+ Store unused tapes in a tape case where
there is no danger
of them becoming
loose or being exposed to dust.
Cleaning the Head
if the playback head becomes dirty, sound
quality will suffer. Periodically {once or
twice a month) clean the head with a cotton
swab soaked with alcohol. (Fig. 6)

button [8] again.
¢ ff there are fewer than 6 strong stations
(12 stations for FM1 only) in the area,
some of the preset buttons will not be as-
signed frequencies, so they will retain any
frequencies assigned to them previously.
