CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
(D
® METER SWITCH
Switch positions and functions are as follows:
BUTTON DEPRESSED- The DEVIATION/MULTIPATH Meter acts
as a MULTIPATH Meter.
BUTTON RELEASED - The DEVIATION/MULTIPATH Meter acts
as a DEVIATION Meter.
® SELECTOR SWITCH
FM MONO — For FM monaural reception.
FM AUTO — For reception of both FM monaural and stereo. The
tuner will automatically identify and separate FM stereophonic broad­
casts. When an FM stereo broadcast is tuned in the STEREO indica­
tion lights up.
MPX FILTER — Unlike FM monaural reception, high frequency noise
may sometimes be encountered when receiving FM stereophonic broad­
casts. The MPX FILTER in this tuner effectively cuts such disturb­
ances. This switch has nothing to do with monaural reception.
AM — For AM reception.
® DEVIATION/MULTIPATH METER
DEVIATION — Functions as a meter which indicates a peak value of
the modulation degree for FM broadcast. This meter makes it possible
to monitor the maximum modulation degree for the received FM
broadcast signal. If used in combination with the VU meter of the
tape deck, an optimum recording level can be obtained.
MULTIPATH — Functions as a multipath detection meter. Recep­
tion with a minimal distortion is possible by depressing this switch and
positioning the antenna in a direction where this meter gives a mini­
mum deflection.
® SIGNAL/TUNING METER
SIGNAL METER — This meter indicates incoming signal strength at
the antenna with correct linearity from the weakest to the strongest
signals.
TUNING METER — This meter is used for precise tuning to the center
of the FM channel. Turn the tuning knob until meter pointer is at the
center of the heavy black area of the meter scale. Center tuning
provides maximum separation and minimum distortion.
