local stations when in the WIDE positon,
NOTE:
In the WIDE position, you may encounter beat and whistle noises due
to adjacent-channel stations in the AM band. This problem maybe par-
ticularly noticeable during nighttime reception. If this occurs, switch to
NORMAL positon.
FM BAND
FM Band radio stations broadcast on assigned frequencies between 88 and 108
Megahertz (MHz), FM broadcasts are higher frequencies and offer less static
and interference from outside sources as well as greater audio fidelity than AM
broadcasts. Range, however, is not as great as AM because very little, if any,
sky-wave reception is involved at FM frequency range.
AFC (Automatic Frequency Control)
Automatic Frequency
Conrol
(AFC)
works to assure drift-free FM reception and
helps to keep the radio locked-in on
the
station to which it is tuned. AFC works
only on FM, it does not affect the AM operation. Tune to the desired FM station
with the AFC SELECT switch in ON position.
Under certain conditions, you may not wish to use the AFC. When the desired
station frequency is adjacent to a stronger station, the Automatic Frequency Con-
trol may tune the set to the stronger station. If this occurs, tune in the desired
station with the AFC switch in OFF position. Should switching to ON cause the
set to detune to the stronger adjacent station, simply leave the AFC SELECT
switch in OFF position.
BASS/TREBLE CONTROLS
The BASS control enable you to increase or decrease the relative volume of the
low-pitched (bass) sounds from the normal (or “flat”) control setting.
The TREBLE control enables you to increase or decrease the relative volume
of the high pitched (Treble) sounds from the normal (or “flat”) control setting.
NOTE: These Tone Controls have a large built-in variation range which will enable
you to emphasize the various tonal sounds and alter the music you are
receiving. You may be able to vary the musical balance of the music

to reset the controls each time.
BUILT-IN AM/FM ANTENNAS
AM
— The BUILT-IN ANTENNA (200 mm Ferrite Rod) is somewhat directional,
and on weak stations it may be
necessaty
to rotate the radio for beat reception.
The FM WHIP antenna is not used for AM reception.
FM — The WHIP ANTENNA maybe positioned anywhere within an 180 degree
arc and is capable of rotating 380 degrees. To use, lift and extend the WHIP to
its fullest length. For distant stations, it may be necessary to adjust the WHIP
antenna’s position for beat reception.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the WHIR always lower its sections one at a time
star-
ting
with the largest diameter. Never lower the WHIP from the tip end
since buckling or bending is possible. Be sure the slot provided in the
base of the
swivel
antenna is positioned properly before lowering the WHIP
into its holder clip.
WHIP ANTENNA REPLACEMENT
The whip antenna has been designed so that it is easily replaced in the event
it is damaged. The antenna’s mounting post goes through a hole in the cabinet
top and is held in place by a single screw through the catinef back. Simply remove
the screw and slide the post out of the cabinet top. To install the replacement,
reverse the procedure.
To order a replacement whip antenna (No. 5-1992) use Accessory Order Form
included in this Guide.
