MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS
In addition to standard tuning methods
described previously, use the following
controls for special operations.
This switch adjusts the receiver's sensitivity.
When you listen to a strong station and the
signal is slightly distorted, set the switch to
the LOCAL position for best reception. For
normal or weak stations, set the switch to
the DX position for maximum sensitivity.
To reduce interference from adjacent
stations, set this switch to the NARROW
position and the interference will be
suppressed. For maximum selectivity, leave
the switch in the WIDE position.
AM SENSITIVITY: DISTANCE/
LOCAL SELECTTIVITY SWITCH
AM: NARROW/WIDE
SELECTIVITY SWITCH
While not a control, you may consider using
HEADPHONES to obtain the best audio
clarity when listening to SW. Since many
SW stations broadcast only marginal
signals, using HEADPHONES will enable
you to distinguish between the signal and
the noise usually encountered at night. Be
sure that the HEADPHONES terminate in
a 1/8 inch plug, which is inserted into the
HEADPHONE jack located on the left side
of the radio, marked with the symbol .
When the HEADPHONES are plugged in,
the speaker is muted.
Because the radio is capable of receiving
FM multiplex stereo, the HEADPHONES
should be stereo capable so that your
listening enjoyment will be enhanced. When
listening to stereo FM, be sure that the
FM: STEREO/MONO switch is set to the
STEREO position. This switch is located on
the lift-hand side of the radio, just above
the HEADPHONE jack.
