GENERATOR bass button
• Select the wave band using the selector FM MW
LW SW (or AM/FM). (SWand LWnot on all versions).
- For FM, pull out the telescopiti aerial. To improve
FM-reception, incline and turn the aerial. Reduce
its length if the FM-signal is too strong (very close
to a transmitter).
- For AM/MW and LW (Medium and Long Wave),
the set is provided with a built-in aerial, so there is
no need to use the telescopic aerial. The aerial can
be directed by turning the whole set.
- For Short Wave (S\A/), the telescopic aerial must
be pulled out and placed in the vertical position. To
improve
SW-reception, vary the length of the
aerial.
• Tune automatically, manually or by means of the
PRESET-buttons V-^to a radio station.
Automatic tuning (not on SW)
• Keep the TUNING button .^or pressed until R
appears on the display; then release the button. The
receiver stops when finding a strong station.
•
If the station found is not the desired one, simply
repeat this operation.
Manual tuning
Manual tuning is useful when you already know the
frequency of the desired station (e.g. from your
programme guide), and if you want to tune to a weak
station.
• Keep the TUNING button or pressed until you
approach the required frequency.
• Then release the button and press the opposite
TUNING button quickly and briefly: then the
displayed frequency stops.
• Then press TUNING or briefly each time. In
this way the frequency is changed step-by-step until
finally the right frequency has been reached. One
step is 0.05 MHz (50 kHz) on FM, 9 or 10 kHz on
MW, 1 kHz on LW and 5 kHz on SW.
•
When the word STEREO appears in the display,
you are receiving a FM-stereo station. A disturbing
noise, due to a weak FM-stereo signal, can be sup­
pressed by pressing the MONO button once. The
word STEREO will then disappear and you will hear
(and record) the FM programme in mono.
• The radio returns to STEREO when pressing
MONO again or when selecting another station.
•
Always switch off the set after use with POWER
button ©.
For each wave band, you can store the frequencies
of up to 6 stations in the memory.

2. Using the TUNING buttons, tune either
automatically or manually to the frequency to be

TIME SET/MEMORY; the PRESET number starts
flashing. D means that the shown frequency has
not yet been stored.

5. Then press TIME SET/MEMORY again; the
frequency is now stored.
