TUNING Controls

A pair of buttons, labeled UP/DOWN on the
front panel and the FREQ UP/DOWN and PRE-
SET UP/DOWN buttons on the remote, serve
as the main tuning controls for the RT-1082.
You can use either the front panel or remote
buttons; their function is identical. These controls
provide different tuning functions, depending
on the mode of operation.
BAND Buttons

The BAND button selects whether the tuner will
receive DAB, AM or FM broadcast signals.
Press the button to toggle back and forth
between DAB, AM and FM. A corresponding
indicator will light at the left portion of the
front panel DISPLAY to confirm your choice.
The currently tuned station frequency will be
shown.
FREQUENCY TUNING Mode
• With AUTO TUNING off, press a TUN-
ING button to manually jump to the next
frequency, regardless of whether or not a
station is broadcasting on that frequency.
[See the TUNE/PRESET button and AUTO
TUNING button sections for details on
changing the tuning modes.]
• With AUTO TUNING on, press a TUN-
ING button to start auto tuning. The tuner
begins automatically scanning up or down
through the frequencies until the next
receivable signal is detected. If this is not
the desired station, repeat the automatic
tuning procedure to find the next station.
Weak stations will be skipped during auto
tuning. If no receivable signal is detected,
the tuner will revert to the last previously
tuned station. (See the TUNE/PRESET but-
ton and AUTO TUNING button sections for
details on changing the tuning modes.)
PRESET TUNING Mode

memorized station preset. [See the TUNE/PRE-
SET button section for details on changing the
tuning modes.]
RDS PTY search mode
Press a TUNING button to select the desired
program type from the scrolling list in the
display. See the section on RDS tuning for
more details. [See the RDS PTY button section
for details.]
NOTE: Several indicators in the front panel
display assist tuning. A large display shows
the tuned frequency and increases or de-
creases during tuning. A signal strength in-
dicator shows the strength of an incoming
signal. A TUNED indicator lights when a
sufficiently strong signal is received. An
“ST” indicator lights when a stereo FM sig-
nal is received. In addition, indicators show
the currently selected tuning mode.

Station Presets
7 E
The RT-1082 can store up to 30 station presets
for recall at any time using the NUMERIC key-
pad. These station presets can be used for any
combination of AM stations and FM stations
as well as 99 station presets for DAB.
The RT-1082 is delivered from the factory
with a set of generic station presets that may
or may not match any available stations in
your area.
To memorize a new station preset:
1. Tune to the desired station, AM or FM.
2. Press the MEMORY button on the front
panel. A MEMORY indicator will flash in
the front panel display.
3. While the MEMORY indicator is flashing,
press the number of the preset where you
wish to store the station frequency. For
example, to memorize the station as preset
3, press the 3 button. To memorize preset
15, press the 1 button followed by the 5
button.
4. A previously stored frequency is erased
from memory when a new frequency is
memorized for the same preset number.
To tune to a previously memorized station
preset, press the preset number using the
NUMERIC buttons. For example, to tune to
preset 3, press the 3 button. To tune to preset
30, press the 3 button and then press the 0
button within 5 seconds.
NOTE: The NUMERIC buttons can also be
used for FREQUENCY DIRECT tuning with
the AM/FM band.
