RT-1082 DAB/AM/FM Stereo Tuner

Direct Access Tuning

If you know the exact frequency of the de-
sired station, you may tune it directly using
the FREQUENCY DIRECT button and the
NUMERIC buttons.
1. 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 bars, representing the
digits of a station frequency, with the first bar
blinking.
2. Enter the first digit of the station frequency
using the NUMERIC buttons. The digit will
appear in the frequency display and the next
bar will flash. Enter the remaining digits of the
frequency. When all of the digits have been
entered, the tuner will automatically tune to
the displayed station frequency.
NOTE: On the USA version only, pressing
1 in the FM mode will enter 10 as the digit
in the frequency display. On the European
version, it is necessary to press 1 and then
0 to enter 10. For US FM stations, press
only one digit following the decimal point as
shown in the first example following. For
European FM stations, press two digits after
the decimal point as shown in the second
example.
EXAMPLES:
• (USA FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5
• (Europe FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5>0
• (USA AM) 1610kHz Press 1>6>1
• (Europe AM) 1611kHz Press 1>6>1>1
If no frequency is entered within 5 seconds,
the tuner will cancel FREQUENCY DIRECT
tuning mode and revert to the last previously
tuned station.

Auto Tuning Button

L
r
The AUTO TUNING button toggles between
the frequency search tuning feature and
manual frequency tuning. When using the
TUNING controls on the front panel or remote
in AUTO TUNING mode, the tuner will begin
automatically scanning up or down through the
frequencies until the next receivable broadcast
signal is detected. If this is not the desired sta-
tion, use the TUNING controls again to find
the next station. Weak stations will be skipped
during auto tuning. If no receivable signal is
detected, the tuner will revert to the previously
tuned station. To toggle between FREQUENCY
TUNING mode and AUTO TUNING mode,
press the AUTO TUNING button. An AUTO
indicator will appear in the display.
NOTE: AUTO TUNING mode is disen-
gaged when the TUNE/PRESET button is set
to PRESET tuning mode. See the following
section.

TUNE/PRESET Button

The TUNE/PRESET button toggles between
FREQUENCY TUNING mode (the TUNING
controls advance to the next station frequency)
and PRESET TUNING mode (the TUNING
controls advance to the next memorized station
preset). To toggle between the two modes, press
the TUNE/PRESET button. A PRESET indicator
in the front panel DISPLAY will light when the
PRESET mode is active.
NOTE: AUTO TUNING mode is disen-
gaged when the TUNE/PRESET button is set
to PRESET tuning mode.

PRESET SCAN Button

H
w
This button activates a preset scanning feature.
When you press the button, the tuner will
automatically scan through all memorized
station presets, playing each for five seconds
before moving to the desired station preset,
press the button again.
NOTE: If a PRESET station is currently
tuned when the PRESET SCAN button is
pressed, scanning will start with the next
higher preset number and continue through
all preset stations, stopping on the initial
preset. If a PRESET station is not currently
tuned when the button is pressed, scanning
will start from PRESET 1 and continue to
PRESET 30.

FM MONO

The FM 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. A stereo indicator
e
will light in the front panel display. In mono
mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the
station is broadcasting a stereo signal.
NOTE: 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.
