In this way, the desired tone will be preset in one of the five acoustic
memory positions. To preset four other desired tone settings, perform
the sarne operations.
To recail the memorized tone setttings, press the ACOUSTIC SELECT
switch to select the desired memory position. In this way, five differ-
ent tone settings can be preset and recalled in the five positions of the
acoustic memory.
BASS control switches
Use to adjust the low-frequency level. Press the + switch to increase
low-frequency level, and the — switch to decrease it.
The TONE indicator appears on the display section.
When both sides {+, ~}) of the BASS control are pressed simultane-
ously, the base response will be set to the flat (normal) condition.
8 TREBLE control switches
Use to adjust the high-frequency level. Press the + switch to increase
high-frequency level, and the — switch to decrease it.
The TONE indicator appears on the display section.
When both sides (+, —) of the TREBLE control are pressed simultane-
ously, the.treble response will be set to the flat {normal} condition.
@) TUNING switches
+: Performs tuning from the currently dispiayed station frequency in
ascending frequency order.
~: Performs tuning in order to descending frequncies.
@®) MEMORY SCAN switch
Operates when the INPUT SELECTOR is set to TUNER. Station frequen-
cies assigned to the STATION CALL switches are tuned in, one after
another beginning with station no. 1, for approximately 5 seconds each.
The display section SCAN indicator will light. Press the switch again
and the tuner remains tuned in to the station playing when the switch
was pressed the second time.
Station frequencies not assigned station numbers in the memory are
skipped.
@ HITS (Hyper Intelligent Tuning System) switch
« If the HITS switch is pressed at the currently displayed station fre-
quency, the receiver searches up and down the frequency for the next
station (The SEARCH indicator in the display section lights at this
time.) and stops at the first one it finds.
* If the HITS switch is pressed during STATION NAME input (see page
25), the receiver performs a memory search in order of ascending
station number for memorized stations whose names begin with the
same letter as the station just input.
* If the HITS switch is pressed during input of numbers for DIRECT
ACCESS tuning, the receiver sets the remaining digits which have not
yet been input to 0", searches for the corresponding frequencies,
and stops on the first station it finds.
NOTE:
© The system searches within successive 1MHz ranges for stations
which can be tuned in. During DIRECT ACCESS tuning, it searches
up and down for a station until it reaches the edges of the band. if
no receivable siation is found within the band range, the receiver
returns to the state it was in before the HITS switch was pressed.
* /f the upper lor lower) frequency limit of the receiver is encountered
during HITS operation, the receiver stops searching in that direction
but continues to search in the other.
@) MEMORY switch
When the unit is in the frequency display mode, pressing this switch
will resuit in the memorization of the current broadcast band, recep-
tion frequency, ACOUSTIC MEMORY position, and FM AUTO/MONO
mode.
This switch is aiso used to input station names (see page 25).
@ STATION NAME switch
This switch is used when inputting station names {see page 25}.

AUTO/MANUAL TUNING selector switch
This switched is used to select the tuning made. The AUTO tuning mode
has been selected when the TUNING AUTO indicator iights.
AUTO tuning
When the — of + TUNING switch is pressed, the receiver automati-
cally scans the broadcast station frequencies. When a broadcast is de-
tected, the scanning stops at that frequency.
NOTE:
Pressing the TUNING switch {~ or +) while scanning is taking place
causes scanning to stop.
MANUAL tuning
This is the usual tuning method. Each time the ~ or + TUNING switch
is pressed, the reception frequency is changed by one tuning step. When
pressed continuously, the receiver scans the broadcast frequencies con-
tinuously.
@ 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 fre-
quency.
if the input station falls outside of the receiver's tuning range, the dis-
play section will display a message: ''UPPER” if the frequency is toa
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 listenig
to FM broadcasts. The monaural mode has been selected when the FM
MONO indicator in the display section is lit,
Auto stereo mode:
Normally, leave in this mode for reception. When a stereo FM broad-
cast is received, it will be automatically reproduced in stereo,
Monaural mode:
When receiving distant stations or stations with weak broadcast sig-
nals, 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 switched has no effect an reception of AM broadcasts.
@ STATION CALL RANDOM 30 CH switches
* These switches are used to preset and recall desired broadcasting
stations, FM AUTO/MONO mode and ACOUSTIC MEMORY made.
Station call operation example:
Hf 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.
