General Operation
NOTE: While the Remote Control (Fig 3) and the front panel of each tuner (Fig 1) share some common
function controls, a few functions are ONLY available using the Remote Control, namely: DIRECT, RDS,
MUTE, ASM, MO/ST, TUNER/DAB. (ASM doubles as INFO button when the DAB+/FM tuner is active.)
- MUTE button functions with whichever tuner section is active, as determined by pressing the TUNER/
DAB button. When pressed, the word MUTE will flash on the screen.
- The LCD displays of each tuner will show the current frequency or Station ID for which each receiver is
tuned, for whichever band or mode has been selected.
• POWER ON / OFF: The unit has a main POWER switch on the front panel (Fig 1, button 1). When
switched ON the unit will power up both tuner display screens. If a tuner – either A or B – is not required,
simply press the ‘POWER’ button applicable to that tuner. The POWER button on the Remote (See Fig
3, button 1) is the same as the POWER buttons (Fig 1, buttons 3 & 18) on the front panel of each tuner
section.
• SWITCHING BETWEEN THE DUAL TUNERS: On the Remote Control, press the TUNER/DAB button
to toggle between which section (Left or Right) that the remote will control. A blue light on the front panel
will be lit to indicate which tuner is under the remote’s control. The Power / Standby button will work with
whichever section is under the control of the remote handset. The same is true for the MUTE, SLEEP,
BAND buttons. Furthermore, all the red labels on remote control buttons will work when pressed during
DAB section operation.
