In-Dash AM/FM Stereo Cassette with Auto-Stop (120-2009) Operation Faxback Doc. # 32346 BASIC OPERATION ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS When you listen to your stereo, you can adjust the following controls to suit your listening preferences. Turning the Stereo On or Off - Turn ON/VOL clockwise until it clicks to turn on the stereo. To turn off the stereo, turn ON/VOL counterclockwise until it clicks. Setting the Volume - Turn On/VOL clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the volume. WARNING: To protect your hearing, do not listen at high volume levels. Slowly increase the volume to a comfortable listening level. Setting the Balance - Slide BALANCE toward LEFT to adjust the balance toward the left speaker, or toward RIGHT to adjust the balance toward the right speaker. Setting the Tone - Slide TONE toward LO to emphasize low sounds, or toward HI to emphasize high sounds. Tuning the Radio - Repeatedly press TUNE DOWN or TUNE UP to tune down or up a selected band (see "Using the Radio", below). Seek Tuning - Press and hold down TUNE DOWN or TUNE UP to automatically tune to the next lower or higher station with a strong signal (see "Using the Radio", below). SETTING THE CLOCK 1. If the stereo is off, turn ON/VOL clockwise until it clicks to turn it on. 2. Press and hold down F/C (frequency/clock), then repeatedly press TUNE DOWN until the display shows the correct hour. To quickly advance the hour, press and hold down TUNE DOWN. NOTE: The display normally shows the clock. 3. Continue holding down F/C, then repeatedly press TUNE UP until the display shows the correct minute. To quickly advance the minute, press and hold down TUNE UP. USING THE RADIO PLAYING THE RADIO 1. If the stereo is off, turn ON/VOL clockwise until it clicks to turn it on. The radio automatically tunes to the last station selected. 2. Press BAND to select the desired band. AM 1 or AM 2 appears on the display when an AM band is selected. FM 1, FM 2, or FM 3 appears when an FM band is selected. 3. Tune to the desired station in one of the following ways. Manual Tuning: Repeatedly press TUNE DOWN or TUNE UP to tune down or up the selected band. Seek Tuning: Press and hold down TUNE DOWN or TUNE UP for about a second to automatically tune to the next lower or higher station with a strong signal. 4. Adjust ON/VOL, BALANCE, and TONE as desired. NOTES: ST appears on the display when an FM broadcast is received in stereo. To improve reception of strong stations, press LOC (local DX). LOC appears on the display. If the stereo does not find a strong station when seeking, it searches the band again and stops on weaker stations. To temporarily display the frequency, press F/C (frequency/ clock). The display shows the frequency for 5 seconds, then returns to the time display. MEMORY TUNING You can store up to 12 AM and 18 FM stations in memory. Each memory group (AM 1, AM 2, FM 1, FM 2, and FM 3) holds up to six stations. You can let the stereo search for the next six strong stations in a band and automatically store these into a memory group, or you can manually store stations into a memory group. Automatically Storing Stations 1. If the stereo is off, turn ON/VOL clockwise until it clicks to turn it on. 2. Press BAND until the stereo displays the band and memory group where you want to store a group of stations. For example, to store the first group of AM stations into AM 1, Press BAND until AM 1 appears. 3. Use either of the tuning methods described in "Playing the Radio", above, to tune to the frequency just before the first station you want to store. 4. Press and hold down AMS (automatic memory scan) for about 3 seconds. The stereo scans the selected band. Then the stereo automatically stores the first six stations it finds. The band number, frequency, and memory location number appear on the display when the station is stored. NOTES: The stereo beeps as it stores each station. If the stereo cannot find six strong stations, it searches the band again for weaker stations and stores them into any remaining memory locations. 5. Briefly press AMS when the stereo has stored all the stations you want, or when you want to stop searching for stations. NOTE: If you do not press AMS, the stereo continues to scan the band, tuning to each stored station for about 5 seconds. Manually Storing Stations 1. If the stereo is off, turn ON/VOL clockwise until it clicks to turn it on. 2. Press BAND until the stereo displays the band and memory group where you want to store a station. For example, to store AM stations into AM 1, press BAND until AM 1 appears. 3. Use either of the tuning methods described in Step 3 of "Playing the Radio", above, to tune to the station you want to store. 4. Press and hold down the desired memory location button until the stereo beeps once. The station is now stored in that memory location. The band number, the frequency, and the memory location number appear on the display when the stereo stores the station. NOTE: The volume briefly mutes while the stereo stores the station, but returns to normal after the station is stored. Selecting a Stored Station To select a stored station, press BAND to select the correct memory group. Then briefly press the desired memory location button. NOTE: Do not hold down the memory location button. This stores the currently tuned station into that location. Scanning Stored Stations The stereo's automatic memory scan (AMS) feature scans all stored stations in the currently selected band, pausing for 5 seconds at each station. 1. Press BAND until the stereo displays the band you want to scan. 2. To start automatic memory scan, briefly press AMS. As the stereo scans each memory location in the band, the current memory location number flashes on the display. CAUTION: Do not hold down AMS. This causes the stereo to automatically seek and store stations into the selected memory group. 3. To stop scanning when the stereo pauses at a station you want to listen to, briefly press the station's memory location button. NOTE: If you do not press a memory location button, the stereo scans the band repeatedly. USING THE CASSETTE PLAYER PLAYING A CASSETTE CAUTION: Avoid using C-120 cassette tapes. They are very thin and can easily become tangled in the tape-handling parts. Follow these steps to play a cassette tape. 1. Take up any slack by turning the cassette's hub with your finger or a pencil. (Avoid touching the tape.) 2. If the stereo is off, turn ON/VOL clockwise until it clicks to turn it on. 3. Insert the tape into the cassette compartment with its open edge to the right and the side you want to hear facing up. The tape begins to play. 4. Adjust ON/VOL, BALANCE, and TONE as desired. 5. Press (symbol) all the way in to stop the tape and eject it. The radio plays. CAUTION: When a tape reaches the end, the cassette player automatically stops and the radio plays, but the cassette player does not eject the tape. We recommend you press (symbol) as soon as you finish playing a tape or before you leave your vehicle, to release the tape from the tape handling parts. This reduces the possibility of a tape being inadvertently tangled or damaged. To fast-forward the current side, gently press (symbol) about halfway in. The tape quickly winds. To stop fast-forward, gently press (symbol) again. To rewind a tape, simply eject the tape, turn it over, then fast-forward the other side. CONNECTING A CD PLAYER TO THE STEREO You can connect a portable CD player (or other audio component with a line level output) to the stereo. Use a stereo mini-jack cable with a 1/8-inch plug (such as Cat. No. 42-2387). Connect one end of the cable to the stereo's CD IN jack, then connect the other end of the cable to the output jack of the CD player or component. NOTE: When you plug a cable into the stereo's CD IN jack, the radio and cassette player do not operate. Be sure you disconnect the CD player when you are not using it. (BR/EB 4/17/96)
