FEATURES
The quartz-locked digital frequency-synthesizer system allows ac-
curate and stabie tuning that is not affected by temperature varia-
tions or long period usage.
Quick and accurate station selection is possible with an electronic
digital readout on the frequency display window. Tuning can be
done either by changing frequency display reading rapidly, or step
by step.
The MEMORY SCAN button allows you to scan automatically the
preset stations only, listening to each one for a few seconds to
check if there is anything you would like to listen to.
FM muting circuit is incorporated to eliminate any interstation
noise. The setting of the S{ERE° switch can also be memorized for
each station, and permits one-touch reception with a suitable
mode/FM muting setting.
A beat-cut filter for eliminating 114 kHz beats is provided prior to
the multiplex circuit to assure better FM stereo reception.
Circuit highlights
Excellent reception characteristics are assured by employing
carefully selected parts: a MOS FET in the RF amp. for high sen-
sitivity and excellent spurious response ratio, three uni-phase
filters and an IC in the IF amplifier for high selectivity, and a phase-
locked loop IC for excellent separation and low-distortion
characteristics.
The memory contents are retained by two memory back-up bat:
teries when the power is turned off. These memory back-up bat-
teries also aliow the last station tuned in to be held in the memory.
With the RM-44 system remote controller, you can remotely control
power on/off and prememorized station selection.

SERVICING NOTES
@ THE CERAMIC CAPACITORS |
This set uses tube-type ceramic capacitors whose
shape is identical with the carbon resistors. Be careful
not to use resistors instead of capacitors in repairing.
Disc-type ceramic capacitors can be used for
replacing those originally used in the set.
Two kinds of drilled holes are provided in some
patterns for mounting the tube-type and disc-type
ceramic capacitors. Use appropriate holes where
applicable.

® Circuit Connections Depending on the Ceramic Filter
(CF101 ~ 103)
This set employs five types of ceramic filter which
have different center frequency. The pattern connec-
tions will be different to match the center frequency
with the intermediate frequency. That is, the pattern
connections will be different depending on the color
mark on the ceramic filter.

ICs
(1C402:

»
PD4011BC)
Generally, the insulation resistance of the oxide
layer in MOS IC structures is very high, and the oxide
layer is very thin. Because of this, it is possible that
the static voltages usually present on clothes and the
human body will be enough to generate a potential
difference across the insulator, high enough to cause
a breakdown of the insulating layer.
The following precautions should be taken while
handling these ICs.
(Particular care should be taken under conditions
of low humidity.)
Precautions in Replacing MOS ICs
1. Store new ICs by inserting them into a urethane-
polyester cushion (which is somewhat conduc-
tive), or wrapping it in aluminum foil, so that
all the pins are at the same potential.
(The ICs should be stored in that manner until
mounted on the circuit board.)

unrethane-polyester

Ic
Fig. B aluminum foil
2. Check the soldering iron for possible power-line
leakage current. Make sure that there is no
leakage path by connecting an ohmmeter to the
tip of the soldering iron and the plug as shown
in Fig. C. If there is a leakage path, use some
other soldering iron.
VOM
(Q x 10,000 range)
3. Equalize any potential difference between the
clothes, the tools in use, the work bench, the
set being worked on, and the packaged IC by
touching them ail in succession with the hands
or a conductive wire or tool.
4. The following are effective methods for handl-
ing ICs that remove the potential difference
across the oxide layer.
@ Use a paper clip modified by soldering in a
wire braid insert.

5, Method of Mounting
Insert the IC while holding it with the modified
clip, and solder all the pins with the clip still
shorting the pins. (Similarly, solder all the pins
while the bare shorting wire is still wound
around them.). Remove the clip or the bare
shorting wire only after all the pins have been
soldered.

@ STEREO switch
This switch serves the dual purpose of a mode and FM muting
switch.
Normally keep this switch engaged (the MUTING indicator il-
luminates) to eliminate FM interstation noise while tuning from sta-
tion to station. The tuner operates in stereo mode for stereo sound
sources and will be automatically switched to mono mode for
monaural sound sources.
When you want to tune in a very weak station, or when an FM pro-
gram is too noisy, press the switch to disengage it. (The MUTING in-
dicator illumination will go out.) This will enable the tuner to receive
weak stations, although the stereo feature is sacrificed. in this
case, keep the amplifier volume down to avoid speaker damage
caused by the interstation noise.

MEMORY PRESET TUNING
This tuner’s electronic tuning system (utilizing a PLL—Phase Lock-
ed Loop— synthesizer) and a memory circuit make tuning very easy.
Once the frequencies of the stations you want to tune in are
memorized, all you have to do is push a button.
TO MEMORIZE STATION FREQUENCIES
Preparation: A total of eight station preset buttons can be preset
for either FM or AM (MW and LW) in any desired sequence. Arrange
the order of stations for each station preset button and note the
band and the frequency of each in advance.
Follow the numbered sequence.
1 2
Tune in the desired station,
following the procedure
described in “MANUAL
TUNING”. Illuminates for a few seconds.
Note that the settings of
the muting Switch for atetis
reception of “ LOCKED
this station are memorized.
STEREO
Repeat these steps for each station preset button.
Replace the station labels to conform to the selected pre-
memorized stations.
Notes
e@The MEMORY indicator will go off automatically after a few
seconds. When the indicator is out, the memory circuit does not
operate to memorize the station.
e@The previous memory will be erased when a new frequency is
committed to the memory of the same button. An erasure cannot
be made without a new input.
TO CHECK A PRE-MEMORIZED FREQUENCY
After the memory procedure is completed, confirm the pre-
memorized frequency. Press the TUNING button and change the
frequency display indication. Press the station preset button to be
checked. The frequency which had been pre-memorized should
then be indicated in the band/frequency-display window.
TO RECEIVE A PRE-MEMORIZED STATION
Turn the POWER switch on and simply press the desired station
preset button.
Memory of the last received station
This tuner includes a memory circuit to remember the station
which had been received for more than one second just
before the power was turned off. This station will be
automatically tuned in when the power is turned on again.
This memory system enables you to make a timer-activated
recording from the tuner.

MEMORY SCANNING
The MEMORY SCAN button allows you to quickly hear what kind of
programs are being broadcast by the pre-memorized stations.
When you press the MEMORY SCAN button, the pre-memorized
stations are automatically received in order from the pre-
memorized station to the immediate right of the station being
received for about 4 seconds each.
Pushing a particular station preset button stops the scanning.
The scanning sequence will be shown by the flickering of the figure
