NEDERLANDS SVENSKA РУССКИЙ 8 OPERATION In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, consider consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system. The supplied AM “loop” antenna will usually provide adequate reception. However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception. Consult an antenna professional for more information. ASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA 1 Rotate the outer frame of the antenna. 2 Insert the bottom edge of the outer frame into the groove on the stand. 3 Extend the antenna cord. FRANÇAIS DELETE A PRESET Selected Preset (for example, “P04”) can be deleted using either of the following methods. Using front panel buttons • Press and hold front panel button’s [BLEND] and then [MEMORY] to delete selected Preset – “P04” transforms to “P--“. Using TNR 3 • Press and hold TNR 3’s [DEL] button until “P04” transforms to “P--“. ESPAÑOL ABOUT ANTENNAS Connect the supplied lead-type FM antenna to the FM antenna input. Extend the lead. Experiment freely with your antenna placement and orientation until you get the clearest sound and lowest background noise.

DIRECT RECALL OF A PRESET You can directly recall a desired Preset number. 1 Toggle front panel’s [PRESET/TUNE/SCROLL] control knob to switch between “Presets” and “Tune” mode. Select “Presets” mode. 2 Using the numeric keys of the remote control, key-in directly your desired Preset number. ABOUT RDS The Radio Data System (RDS) permits sending small amounts of digital information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The C 427 supports two RDS modes, program-service name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT mode). Not every FM station incorporates RDS in its broadcast signal. In most areas you will find from one to several RDS-enabled stations, but it is by no means impossible that your favorite stations will not be broadcasting RDS data. ITALIANO When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, the VFD will show its program-service name (PS) text and the station’s radio-text (RT) readout, if any, which might scroll song- or artist-name, or any other text of the station’s choosing. PORTUGUÊS The C 427 offers very high quality sound from radio broadcasts. The reception and sound quality will always be dependent to a degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as well as proximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.
