1 Set the FUNCTION
switch on the front panel
to FM AUTO.
2 Turn the tuning knob until the tuning indicator
is at the station's frequency.
3 Adjust the tuning knob to give the maximum
reading on the SIGNAL meter, and to bring the
FM TUNING
meter pointer to the exact center
position. This will ensure optimum tuning.
4 When the broadcast
is in stereo, the STEREO
indicator lamp will light, and will automatically
go out when MONO broadcasts are being made.
|_| [rm BLEND POSITION
When you are listening to a weak FM station in
stereo,
there
can
be unpleasant
high frequency
noise
(a kind
of
'hiss').
If this
hiss
noise
is
bothering you, switch to the FM BLEND position,
which
cuts
out
the
noise
very
effectively.
By
switching to the MONO position this kind of noise
can be reduced still further, but of course you will
no longer be able to enjoy stereo reproduction.
In this position, instead of broadcast reception,
the CT-610 output will consist of a 333 Hz signal
` corresponding to 50% modulation.
When
using a
tape deck to record from the CT-610, the OUT-
PUT LEVEL control and tape recorder input level
controls should
be adjusted to give a level of —6
VU
on the tape deck
level meters. This can be
increased to —2 VU depending on the tape deck
and the kind of tape being used. Once you have
determined
the ideal setting for your tape deck,
the REC CAL position enables you to find it again
quickly and conveniently.
So-called
'multipath'
waves,
reflected
-from
nearby hills or tall buildings, can seriously degrade
tonal quality in FM reception.
In addition to the
obvious
deterioration
in
tonal
quality,
the
SIGNAL
meter can also give you an indication of
the existence
of multipath
waves:
it will show
slight fluctuations.
If you
notice this, alter the
orientation of your antenna to give a steady meter
reading.
You
will
enjoy
generally
better
tonal
quality even
if this level is a little lower than the
maximum when indication is fluctuating.
