[. . . ] ⷠUnplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. However, there are certain procedures that may apply to only one of the tuners. Check the model number on the front of your tuner so you`ll know which instructions apply to you. Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up and prolong the life of its components. [. . . ] When the tuner locates a station, it stops automatically, "TUNED" appears in the display, and the signal meter indicates the strength of the broadcast signal. Turn TUNING/SELECT until "Auto-betical" appears in the display and press ENTER. For RDS stations, the tuner first checks for stations broadcasting the same programme, then stores only the one with the clearest signal. The selected RDS stations are sorted alphabetically by their Programme Service name, then assigned a two character preset code. Regular FM stations are assigned two-character preset codes and stored after the RDS stations. If you move to another area, repeat this procedure to store stations in your new area. The ANTENNA, ANT ATT, IF BAND, and FM MODE settings are also stored along with the station. ⷠIf you move the aerial after storing stations using "Autobetical select, " the stored settings may no longer be valid. Z If you cannot tune in the station you want (Manual Tuning) With manual tuning you can search through all stations broadcasting on each band, and tune in stations with extremely weak signals that you might not be able to receive with automatic tuning. Turn the knob to the right for a higher frequency; turn it to the left for a lower frequency. When you reach the highest or lowest frequency of any band, tuning stops. You can use the digital signal meter to check the signal strength of FM frequencies. the display range of the digital meter is from 16 to 70 dB (1µV of radio frequency voltage = 0dB). To obtain a signal to noise ratio sufficient for receiving a stereo broadcast, we recommend a reading greater than 50 dB. (You can also change the FM MODE while using the signal meter to determine the best reception. You can assign a name up to 8 characters long (5 characters for the ST-SA3ES) to each preset station except FM RDS stations. When the station is tuned in, the station name will appear along with the frequency. This tuner's sorting feature lets you arrange your station presets automatically, according to alphabetical order, signal strength, country code, or tuner band. When the character you want appears, press CHARACTER to move the cursor into position for the next character. If you make a mistake Press CHARACTER repeatedly until the character you want to change flashes (every time you press CHARACTER, the next character flashes). Turn TUNING/SELECT until "Sort" appears in the display and press ENTER. if no stations have been stored as presets , "No Preset" appears in the display. [. . . ] The unit enters search mode ("Search" and "Traffic" appear alternately in the display). Press ENTER when the tuner receives the station you desire to listen to that programme. Programme Identification Determine each broadcast's country of origin. To monitor news and/or information programmes 1 Tune to a preset FM RDS station so that the RDS TP or RDS TP EON indicators light in the display. [. . . ]
