3. Tuner Test Mode (TEST 2)
1. Outline of tuner (radio) test mode
The tuner test mode is intended to store the adjustment and measurement frequencies in the preset memory CH. When
adjusting the tuner section in the production line, adjusting personnel are not required to set frequency.
2. Details of tuner test mode
Press the "REW/PRESET DOWN" and "CD PLAY" buttons in POWER OFF state and turn on the power by the use of "ON/
STAND-BY" button to preset and store frequency for adjustment and measurement of destination specified by the AREA
terminal in the preset memory CH. However, Ordinary 1 and Ordinary 2 are stored in the destinations (selected by SPAN
switching operation) when the test mode is obtained.
("FF " + "MEMORY/SET" KEY SPAN CHANGE)
(As for frequencies to be preset and stored for each destination, refer to item 3.)
The tuner test mode is started from preset No.1.
The operations of test mode are identical with the ordinary operations of TUNER function. FUNCTION switching is invalid.
It is necessary to discard the content of preset memory when the tuner test mode is ended; be sure to write "0000" or "1111"
bits in the memory to be checked for judging memory error at initial setting and to initialize memory.
When the tuner test mode is obtained, the following display lights for one second.
• The TUNER TEST2 mode is obtained with >> + MEMORY + ON/STAND-BY. ->Turn off AC in the TEST2 mode to restore
the initial state.
Turn off POWER to protect the memory of TEST2 mode.
TurnoffPOWERagaintoobtaintheordinaryoperationwhilethedataisstoredinthememory(besides
TUNER).
If AC OFF state is maintained in this state for about 1/2 day, start is executed in the initial state.
• To clear the whole memory, insert the AC cord, pressing MEMORY + CD PLAY.
3. Preset frequencies for various destinations (random preset memory)
• The slant line sections of the table store no memory.

NOTES ON SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
•Resistor:
To differentiate the units of resistors, such symbol as K and
M are used: the symbol K means 1000 ohm and the symbol
M means 1000 kohm and the resistor without any symbol is
ohm-type resistor. Besides, the one with “Fusible” is a fuse
type.
•Capacitor:
To indicate the unit of capacitor, a symbol P is used: this
symbol P means micro-micro-farad and the unit of the
capacitor without such a symbol is microfarad. As to
electrolyticcapacitor,theexpression“capacitance/withstand
voltage” is used.
(CH), (TH), (RH), (UJ): Temperature compensation
(ML): Mylar type
