1. Circuit Check Mode
Set to the reception frequency that the circuit can STEREO RDS stations. (Set the input level to above 70 dB.)
This enables circuit check to be performed in any of the reception modes-FM, AM (MW, LW). Set to a desired band before setting the test
mode.
1. Turn OFF the power.
2. While pressing ENTER and BAND together, turn ON the power.
· The items in the following table will be checked automatically in order every 2 seconds.

6. Each time the key is pressed, the key number will be counted down.
Each key will be counted only once, at the first time.
7. When all keys have been pressed, the process will end.
NOTE : As contents of the Factory Preset will be written into memory after completing this check mode, delete contents of memory
according to 4. Forced RESET.
3. Entering the Factory Preset (In case perform just to write memory of the Factory Preset.)
1. Turn OFF the power.
2. While pressing ENTER and MEMORY together, turn ON the power.

Precautions in Repairing
If the front end unit fails, it is difficult to repair the inner circuits, so
replace the entire front end unit.

How to switch IF BAND : WIDE/NARROW and ANT ATT :
ON/OFF
Method:
1. Press the power button to turn the power on and set to FM.
2. Press the MENU button and press the TUNING/SELECT ­, +
button to indicate "Reception" on the fluorescent display tube,
then press the ENTER button.
3. Press the TUNING/SELECT ­, + button to indicate "ATT/IF
Band", and press the ENTER button.
4. "ANT ATT: OFF" is indicated on the fluorescent display tube
and press the TUNING/SELECT ­, + button to indicate "ON"
or "OFF", then press the ENTER button.
When the ANT ATT is set, "ANT ATT" is indicated on the fluo-
rescent display tube.
5. "IF: Wide" is indicated on the fluorescent display tube, and press
the TUNING/SELECT ­, + button to indicate "Wide" or "Nar-
row", then press the ENTER button.
When the "IF: Narrow" is set, "NARROW" is indicated on the
fluorescent display tube.
6. Set WIDE after the operation.
