Tuner Operations

Manual and Automatic Tuning

This section shows you how to tune in an FM or AM broadcast.

From the front panel

①Press BAND to select the band you desire (FM or AM).

Each press of BAND switches the band between FM and AM.

One touch operation

When the unit is in the STANDBY mode, press BAND to automatically turn the power on and tune in the last station you listened to.

②Press KEY MODE so that "PRESET" does not appear in the display.

After storing stations in the receiver's preset memory (page 25), you can use the preset tuning feature (page 26).

③ Tune in the station you desire.

For manual tuning:

Press > (for higher frequencies) or < (for lower frequencies) repeatedly to locate the frequency of the station you desire. When a station is received, the TUNED indicator lights up.

For automatic tuning:

Hold down > or < until the frequencies start to change, then release.

When a station is tuned in, “TUNED” appears in the display and the frequency stops changing. If you know the frequency of the station you want to receive, keep holding > or < until the amplifier/tuner nears the frequency you desire (this prevents the amplifier/tuner from stopping at other intermediate stations).

When a stereo broadcast is received, the STEREO indicator lights up.

From the remote control:

① Press TUNER to select the band you desire (FM or AM).

In addition to selecting the FM band, this operation also sets the remote control to tuner operation mode. The remote control must be set to the tuner operation mode before proceeding to the following steps, even if the band was previously set to FM using the controls on the front panel.

② Tune in the station you desire.

For manual tuning:

Press Λ (▶) (for higher frequencies) or ∨ (■) (for lower frequencies) repeatedly to locate the frequency of the station you desire. When a station is received, the TUNED indicator lights up.

For automatic tuning:

Hold down \(\Lambda(\blacktriangleright)\) or V(■) until the frequencies start to change, then release. When a station is tuned in, the TUNED indicator lights up and the frequency stops changing. If you know the frequency of the station you want to receive, keep holding \(\Lambda(\blacktriangleright)\) or V(■) until the amplifier/tuner nears the frequency you desire (this prevents the amplifier/tuner from stopping at other intermediate stations).

Stereo and monaural reception

Switching to monaural reception is an effective way to reduce noise when receiving weak FM stereo broadcast.

To switch to monaural reception

Press FM MODE/MUTING on the remote control so that "MONO" appears in the display. This switches the reception mode to mono. In this mode, stereo broadcasts are also received in mono.

To switch to stereo reception

Press FM MODE/MUTING on the remote control again so that "AUTO" appears in the display. This switches the reception mode to auto tuning. When a program is broadcast in stereo the STEREO indicator lights up and you hear the stereo sound. When in monaural, the STEREO indicator goes off and you hear monaural sound.

Normally, it is recommended to use Automatic tuning. If clear reception is not possible with the supplied antenna, connect an external antenna (see page 14).

Presetting Stations

Once stations are preset, they can be called up quickly with preset tuning. You can preset a total of 40 stations, either FM or AM.

Linked Operation of the Other Optional Components (Compu Link)

The EX series components can be controlled under linked operation provided by the JVC's Compu Link remote control system.

What is Compu Link

The world of single components, in which you purchase a cassette deck, CD player, amplifier and other components separately and enjoy your own composition, is an effective means for pursuit of high-quality reproduction. However, in terms of operability, the need of controlling components independently makes their control complicated and their linked operation impossible. Then, isn't it possible to combine single components and control them as simply as an integrated audio system? The Compu Link remote control system is the response to such a requirement.

The components in the JVC EX series are equipped with jacks named COMPU LINK-3 (COMPU LINK jacks). By connecting the COMPU LINK jacks of these components, they can be controlled simply with a systematized, linked operation.

Compu Link connections

Using Compu Link cables, connect the COMPU LINK jacks of EX series components. Connect so that the Compu Link cables can bridge all of the EX series components you have as shown below. The components can be connected in any order.

Compu Link-3 features

The Compu Link-3 system of the EX series components makes the following operations possible.

Shortcut playback

Simply selecting an input source of the amplifier/tuner starts playback of the selected source component (CD player, MD recorder or cassette deck).

Also, even if you do not touch the amplifier/tuner, starting playback of a source component sets the amplifier's input source automatically to the played component.

(See "Shortcut Playback" on page 41.)

A single remote control unit

The remote control unit provided with the units can also be used to control other EX series components.

(See "Remote Control of the Other Optional Components" on page 43.)

Synchronized recording

Recording can be started automatically in synchronism with the start of playback of a source component.

(See "Synchronized Recording" on page 45.)

Timer operation

The timer function built into the amplifier/tuner can be used to start recording or playback of other components at the reserved time of the day or switch the power to the STANDBY mode in the reserved time period.

Shortcut Playback (From the RX-EX70 Amplifier/tuner)

By simply pressing INPUT of the amplifier/tuner (RX-EX70) to select an input source, the selected source component can automatically be turned on and its playback started.

Playing CDs

Press INPUT to select "CD".

The CD player is turned on and playback of the CD with the disc number displayed on the CD player starts. If no CD has been loaded in the CD player, its display shows "NO DISC".

- When another input source is selected by pressing INPUT, the CD player stops automatically in a few seconds.

Playing an MD

Press INPUT to select "MD".

The MD recorder is turned on, and if an MD has been loaded in it, playback of the MD starts. If no MD has been loaded in the MD recorder, its display shows "NO DISC".

- When another input source is selected by pressing INPUT, the MD recorder stops automatically in a few seconds.

Playing a cassette tape

Press INPUT to select "TAPE".

The cassette deck is turned on, and if a tape has been loaded in it, playback of the tape starts.

- When another input source is selected by pressing INPUT, the cassette deck stops automatically in a few seconds.

Shortcut Playback (From a Source Component)

By starting playback of a source component, the amplifier/tuner's input source is automatically switched to that source and playback can be monitored through it.

If playback is started while the amplifier/tuner's power is in the STANDBY mode, it is also switched ON automatically.

CD player operation

Press ▷/■ or CD 1, CD 2, or CD 3.

The amplifier/tuner's input source is set to "CD" and CD playback starts.

If the amplifier/tuner's power is in the STANDBY mode, it is automatically switched ON.

MD recorder operation

Press ▷/■ of the MD recorder or ▶ of the remote control unit provided with the MD recorder.

The amplifier/tuner's input source is set to "MD" and MD playback starts.

If the amplifier/tuner's power is in the STANDBY mode, it is automatically switched ON.

Tape deck operation

Press ◀ or ▷.

The amplifier/tuner's input source is set to "TAPE" and tape playback starts.

If the amplifier/tuner's power is in the STANDBY mode, it is automatically switched ON.

• It takes about 5 seconds after the amplifier/tuner is turned ON until it can start audio reproduction. In this period, the audio cannot be reproduced even when the source component has started playback. As a result, the beginning of playback may not be heard in this case.
• When another source component is played, the source component which has been played stops automatically in a few seconds.

Remote Control of the Other Optional Components

The remote control provided with the units can be used to control other optional components such as the CD player (XL-EX70) and cassette deck.

Operate the remote control by pointing it to the remote sensor of the amplifier/tuner.
