DIRECT ACCESS TUNING
When you know the frequency of the desired station, the frequency
can be input directly using the STATION CALL (number) buttons in the
following way:
1. Select TUNER with the input selector buttons.
2. Select either FM or AM using the BAND FM/AM button.
3. Press the DIRECT ACCESS button.
4. Input the desired station frequency using the STATION CALL
buttons.
Example: To receive FM 106.00 MHz
(STATION CALL
buttons)
Once the station frequency has been input, the receiver tunes in that
frequency. If the input frequency falls below the lower or higher limit
of the receiver's receivable frequency range "LOWER" or "UPPER" is
displayed, indicating that the frequency which has been input cannot
be tuned in.
5. Adjust the sound volume and tone as desired.
To cancel frequency input
Direct access is canceled when the DIRECT ACCESS button is pressed
again.
Under the following conditions direct access is canceled and the unit
returns to the condition in effect before direct access was selected:
® If there is no key input for about five seconds after the DIRECT
ACCESS button was pressed.
(5) If more than about eight seconds elapse between number input.
Notes regarding direct access tuning
• There is no need to input the last digit "0" of the desired station
frequency.
On the multi-voltage model, it is necessary to input the last digit of
the desired station frequency when the channel step switch is set
at the 50 kHz/9 kHz position.
AUTO TUNING (FM only)
Auto tuning is convenient when you do not remember the frequency
of a desired station, or when you wish to find stations that you do not
normally listen to.
1. Use the BAND FM/AM button to choose FM.
2. Press TUNING or " + " button until the frequency starts to
change, then release it.
• The AUTO TUNING irxiicator lights, and the receiver automatically
searches for a broadcasting station, and stops when one is found,
at which time the TUNED indicator lights. Press again to search
for another station.
• To interrupt auto tuning, press TUNiNG button again.
3. Adjust the sound volume and tone as desired.
NOTE:
• When Auto Tuning is used, correct reception may not be possible
for very distant stations or stations with very weak signals. In this
event. Manual Tuning is recommended.
• The TUNED indicator may not light with broadcasts received over
long distances, or when the broadcast signals are extremely weak.
