higher tuning resolution is included in your tuner for both European use and to allow for slight intentional off-tuning, which is sometimes useful in unusual reception situations. (9) SCAN KEY (AUTOMATIC TUNING) This mode will usually be preferred for locating stations. Pressing SCAN initiates an automatic band-scanning mode which pauses for four seconds on stations, then resumes the SCAN.

Holding SCAN for one second results in a FAST-SCAN mode, which, upon key release, reverts to normal-speed SCAN to the next detected station.

During PRESET, SCAN and FAST MANUAL tuning modes, muting is always activated by digital signals from the tuning system. Muting is also commanded by the IRIS remote control system, as explained later. For “DXing”, i.e. searching for extremely distant stations, you may elect to de-activate the AUDIO-MUTING system, for SLOW MANUAL station “searching”.
needed, to cancel the noise deriving from the separation information, carried totally on the subcarrier. In nearly all cases, such progressive channel blending, applied only on weak signals, results in a far more listenable overall situation. The IRIS noise-reduction circuit has no effect on stronger signals, thus we have configured the (13) BLEND OFF switch...
(This “handshake” muting of IRIS Tuner by IRIS Preamplifier, when the Tuner is de-selected, is employed to guarantee that the “on” Tuner cannot “crosstalk” into the audio of your other selected Preamplifier sources--thus allowing you to leave the Tuner powered for maximum remote convenience.) KEY OPERATION All of the KEY functions of the Tuner panel which are...
RECORD SECURITY As explained in the “remote” section of the IRIS Preamplifier Manual, if RECORD SECURITY is in effect (either RECORD switch is in on the IRIS Preamplifier), the Tuner will refuse all IRIS remote commands, including CLR.
