For Australla and N.Z, A total of 30 FM and AM stations can be preset. How is presetting done? The two following methods are available. * Automatic memory presetting Automatic memory presetting allows this unit to automatical- ly search for broadcast stations and then preset them into memory. With this function, searching proceeds from the frequency currently being displayed and continues through higher fre- quency, and broadcast stations are preset In the order In which they are located. With this method, the channels that can be presst Into the memory are set as follows for different bands, For United Kingdom Channel For Australia and N.Z. Channel 1 | 2 | 20/21! 3 + AM > + FM , For example, after presetting the FM band, if the MW (or AM) band is preset, the previous presettings in the sections in the above illustration which overlap will be erased and the subsequent settings will be preset. Therefore, the FM band stations will be kept for channels 1 —20 and the MW (or AM) band stations will be preset to channels 21—30. * Manual memory presetting The desired broadcast stations can be preset Into the desired channels by the user, This can also be used as a method for changing selected broadcast stations that were preset in “Automatic memory presetting”.

However, any broadcasting stations which have been preset into memory will not be erased at this time, Before requesting service for this unit, check the chart below for a possible cause of the problem you are experiencing, Some sim- ple checks or a minor adjustment on your part may eliminate the problem and restore proper operation. If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem, refer to the directory of authorized service centers (enclosed with this unit) to locate a convenient service center, or consult your Technics dealer for instructions. | Problem Probable cause(s) Suggested remedy While listening to FM broadcasts An unusual hissing noise is heard when listening to the broadcast in stereo, but not heard when listening monaurally. A slight noise may be heard because the method used for modulation of FM stereo broadcasts is different than that used for monaural broadcasts. Noise is excessive in both stereo and monaural broad- casts. Poor location and/or direction of the antenna Transmitting station is too far away. * Try reducing the treble sound by using the treble con. trol. * Try changing the location, height and/or direction of the antenna. * If an indoor antenna is being used, change to an outdoor antenna, * Try using an antenna with more elements. The FM stereo indicator or the quariz lock indicator flickers, without completely INuminating. Poor location and/or direction of the antenna Transmitting station is too far away. Excessive distortion In the sound of stereo broad- casts. Nearby building or mountain * Try changing the location, height and/or direction of the antenna, * If an indoor antenna Is being used, change to an outdoor antenna. * Try using an antenna with more elements. While listening to MW/LW (For Australia and N.Z.: AM) broadcasts An unusual “beat” sound Is heard. The unit is being used at the same time as the television set. * Turn off the television set, or use this unit farther away from it. Interference from adjacent broadcast signals * Try reducing the treble sound by using the treble con- trol. A low-pitched “hum” sound is heard when the broadcast is tuned. The AM loop antenna connection wires are too close to the power cord. * Place the antenna connection wires and the power cord farther apart. A strange hissing noise is produced continuousiy or Intermittently, Caused by the "discharge phenomenon” and the “oscillation phenomenon” of electric appliances (such as fluorescent lights, TV, small series-type motors, rectification equipment, etc.). * Try placing this unit farther away from such equip- ment. Problems noted at all times Power will not switch ON. The power cord plug is not completely inserted. * Confirm that the power cord plug is connected completely. No sound Is heard. Both A and B speakers are turnd OFF. The tape monitor function is ON. The muting function is ON. * Press the HELP button. (The display will scroll through the causes of the problem.) Use this display as a guide to remedy the problem. Connections are incomplete or incorrect to the speaker systems, etc. * Check to be sure that all connection wires are correctly connected. The incorrect input selector has been pressed. * Check to be sure that the correct selector is pressed. Sound stops during a performance, or no sound Is heard when the power is switched ON. (The word “OVERLOAD” appears on the display.) The protection circuitry has functioned because the positive and negative speaker connection wires are “shorted”. Speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of this unit are used or under severe use, such as loud volume, excessive power and in an excessively hot environment. e Switch off the power, and after determining and correcting the cause, switch ON the power once again. * Use a speaker system of the proper Impedance rating. The word “ERROR” appears on the display. When the Dolby Pro Logic system is ON, both A and B speakers are turnd ON. When both A and B speakers are being used simultanecusiy, the Dolby Pro Logic system is turned ON. e Press the HELP button. (The display will scroll through the causes of the pro- blem.)
