[. . . ] Owner's Manual RX-975 AM/FM Stereo Receiver RX-975 AM/FM Stereo Receiver 2 WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to moisture or water. If the unit is exposed to moisture, or a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately disconnect the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified service person for inspection and necessary repairs. [. . . ] A corresponding indicator will light at the left portion of the front panel display to confirm your choice and the currently tuned station frequency will be shown. TUNING Button This rocker switch (or pair of buttons labeled CH UP/DOWN on the remote control) provides two different tuning functions, depending on the mode of operation. In the normal FREQUENCY TUNING mode, press a TUNING button and release to manually jump to the next station frequency, regardless of whether or not a station is broadcasting on that frequency. For auto scan tuning, press and hold the TUNING button for approximately one second. An AUTO indicator will appear in the front panel display and the tuner will begin automatically scanning up or down through the frequencies until the next available station is detected. If this is not the desired station, repeat the automatic tuning procedure to find the next station. In the PRESET TUNING mode, press a TUNING button and release to jump to the next memorized station preset. Switch between FREQUENCY and PRESET tuning modes by pressing the SHIFT button and then the BAND/TV button on the remote control. A PRESET indicator appears in the display when PRESET TUNING is activated. EXAMPLES: (USA FM) 87. 50MHz Press 8>7>5 (Europe FM) 87. 50MHz Press 8>7>5>0 (all AM) 1610kHz Press 1>6>1>0 MONO Button The MONO button changes the FM mode from stereo reception to mono reception. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal and there is sufficient signal strength. In mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal. The NUMERIC buttons can also be used for direct access tuning (see below). FREQUENCY DIRECT Button If you know the frequency of the desired station, you may tune it directly using the FREQUENCY DIRECT button and the NUMERIC buttons. Press the FREQUENCY DIRECT button to change the NUMERIC buttons from station preset to Direct Access mode. The station frequency in the front panel display will change to a series of four bars, representing the digits of a station frequency, with the first bar flashing. Switching to mono mode can be a useful way to improve the reception of weak or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required for clean mono reception than for stereo reception. NOTE: Several indicators in the front panel display assist tuning. A large display shows the tuned frequency and increases or decreases during tuning. A TUNED indicator lights when a sufficiently strong signal is received. A ST indicator lights when a stereo FM signal is received. NOTE: 11 English TUNE/PRESET Button [SHIFT] TV/BAND The TUNE/PRESET button toggles between FREQUENCY TUNING mode (the CH TUNING buttons advance to the next station frequency) and PRESET TUNING mode (the CH TUNING Buttons advance to the next memorized station preset). A PRESET indicator in the front panel DISPLAY will light when the PRESET mode is active. RR-949 Remote Control The RX-975 includes a handheld remote control that does far more than operate the RX-975. The RR-949 is a full-function programmable remote control that can operate up to 8 audio/video components. A separate manual, included with the remote, gives detailed information on programming and using the RR-949 to replace all of the remote controls in your system. This section is intended to provide only that information which pertains to the use of the RR-949 to operate the RX-975. 2. Use the NUMERIC buttons to enter the 3-digit code (001) for the RX-975 ­ press 0, then 0, then 1. Store the code number by pressing the corresponding AUDIO button again. [. . . ] Turn the collars clockwise to clamp the wire in place. The preamp outputs are connected to power amplifier inputs with metal jumpers in a standard PRE OUT/MAIN IN configuration. To disable the built-in power amplifiers and use external amplifiers, it will be necessary to remove these jumpers. Save them for future use. NOTE: FM Wire Antenna The RX-975 includes a wire antenna to receive FM signals. In many countries (including the USA), this antenna is a T-shaped twinconductor 300 ohm antenna. [. . . ]
