TUNING Controls
A pair of buttons, labeled on the
front panel, and the “FREQ UP/DOWN” and
“PRESET UP/DOWN” buttons on the remote,
serve as the main tuning controls for the RT-
06. You can use either the front panel or re-
mote buttons; their function is identical. These
controls provide different tuning functions de-
pending on the mode of operation.
BAND Button
The BAND button selects whether the tuner
will receive DAB, AM or FM broadcast sig-
nals. 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 re-
ceivable 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

play assist tuning. A large display shows the

during tuning. A signal strength indicator
shows the strength of an incoming signal. A
TUNED indicator lights when a sufficiently
strong signal is received. A ST indicator lights
when a stereo FM signal is received. In ad-
dition, indicators show the currently selected
tuning mode.
