@8) DIRECT ACCESS TUNING switch
When this switch is pressed, the STATION CALL switches function as
ten-key number switches for direct input of the desired reception
frequency.
If the input station falls outside of the receiver's tuning range, the display
section will display a message: ''UPPER"' if the frequency is too high
and ''LOWER'"' if it is too low.
FM MODE AUTO/MONO selector switch
Use to select the auto stereo mode or monaural mode when listening
to FM broadcasts. The monaural mode has been selected when the FM
MONDO indicator in the display section is lit.
Auto stereo mode:
Normally, leave in this mode for reception. When a stereo FM broadcast
is received, it will be automatically reproduced in stereo.
Monaural mode:
When receiving distant stations or stations with weak broadcast signals,
the input signal may be weak, thus resulting in increased noise during
FM stereo broadcasts. In this event, setting the receiver to the monaural
mode will reduce the noise. In this case, however, FM stereo broadcasts
will be reproduced in monaural sound.
NOTE:
This switch has no effect on reception of AM broadcasts.
@) STATION CALL RANDOM 30 CH switches
® These switches are used to preset and recall desired broadcasting
stations, "AUTO STEREO"'/"'"MONO" switch setting, and ACOUSTIC
MEMORY mode.
Station call operation example:
If you press the [*2] key:
© One time — station 2 is selected.
* Two times — station 12 is selected.
* Three times — station 22 is selected.
NOTE:
Pressing the STATION CALL switches when a component other than
TUNER is selected causes the INPUT SELECTOR setting to switch to
TUNER.
© They are also used when performing direct access tuning.
