1. Set the Operation Switch to "ON".
   • The Operation/Battery Check Indicator will light.
2. Press the TUNER Button (FUNCTION).

3. Set the Band Selector to the desired radio band.

4. Tune in your favorite station using the Tuning Control. • The frequency components of the signal being received will be indicated by the Spectrum Analyzer.

5. Set the FM Mode Selector to "STEREO" or "MONO".

6. Set the Equalizer Mode Selector to the desired mode G.EQ; Graphic Equalizer functions. F.D.EQ; Frequency Distribution Equalizer functions. (Refer below for the operation of the Graphic Equalizer and Frequency Distribution Equalizer.)

7. Adjust the Volume, Balance and Graphic Equalizer/Frequency Distribution Equalizer Controls to the desired settings.

8. The radio can be turned off by setting the Operation Switch to "OFF".

Notes:

• If the FM Mode Selector is set to "STEREO" and the desired broadcast is tuned, the FM muting circuit functions in this unit.
• To receive FM stereo broadcasts, set the FM Mode Selector to "STEREO". The FM Stereo Indicator will light during stereo broadcasts.
• If FM stereo reception is poor (excessive noise, FM Stereo Indicator flickers), set the FM Mode Selector to "MONO". This will reduce the noise and provide clear reception; however, the broadcast will not be heard in stereo.
• Once the unit is tuned to receive FM stereo broadcasts, the FM Stereo Indicator will remain lit at all positions of the Function Selector (except when the power circuit is cut off).

■ Spectrum Analyzer and Graphic Equalizer

Set the Equalizer Mode Selector to "G.EQ".

The frequency components of the source signal are displayed, divided into five frequency bands (100 Hz, 330 Hz, 1 kHz, 3.3 kHz, 10 kHz).

In addition, different sound bands [100 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2.5 kHz, 5 kHz, 10 kHz] can be adjusted to suit your taste using the controls of the Graphic Equalizer, while the spectrum of the resulting sound is displayed by the Spectrum Analyzer.

- Positioning the control to the “+” side of the detent (center) will amplify the corresponding frequency band; the “−” side will attenuate it.

■ Frequency Distribution Equalizer

Set the Equalizer Mode Selector to "F.D.EQ".

By dividing the each frequency sound into the right and left Speakers, quasi-stereo sound can be made from the monaural source.

• If setting the Frequency Distribution Equalizer Controls to "0", the monaural sound can be heard from the center position.
• If moving the Frequency Distribution Equalizer Controls to "LEFT" or "RIGHT", the each frequency sound can be heard from the corresponding Speaker. So you can hear the monaural sounds as if it were stereo.

■ Fine Tuning Control

For short-wave broadcasts, tune to the approximate frequency with the Tuning Control, and then use the Fine Tuning Control for more precise tuning.

Note:

When using the Tuning Control, be sure to set the Fine Tuning Control pointer to the center position.

Antennas

FM:

- Pull out the Telescopic Antenna and adjust its length and angle for optimum reception.

LW/MW:

- The sensitive ferrite core antenna inside the set will provide excellent LW/MW reception in most areas. For optimum reception, turn the set in the direction which gives the best results since the ferrite core antenna is directional.

SW:

- Extend the Telescopic Antenna fully, keep it vertical.

Dolby NR

This unit includes Dolby Noise Reduction which reduces tape noise to a remarkable degrees.

Briefly, the system works as follows:

At low sound levels (where tape noise is most noticeable), the high frequency (treble) portion of the sound is recorded at a higher level.

During playback, the same high frequency portion of the sound is played back at a lower level. Since tape noise is introduced during recording and consists mainly of high frequencies, the tape noise is also reduced during playback. In effect, the sound is boosted during recording, then the sound along with the tape noise is reduced during playback. The result is unaltered sound with reduced tape noise.

- Tape 1 Counter and Reset Button

The digits return to "000" when the Reset Button is pressed. The digits advance with the tape to provide a reference to quickly find a desired portion of tape.
