AM Antenna
The loop antenna is provided for optimum AM reception.
Attach the loop antenna onto the antenna holder On the
rear panel, and connect the lead wires to the antenna screw
terminals
marked
"G"
and "AM".
If an outdoor
antenna
desired for better reception due to difficult reception area,
connect
such
antenna
to the same
screw
terminals
as the
loop antenna. Please note that the loop antenna should be
left
connected
to the
terminals
even
when
the
external
antenna
connected.

MONO : For receptionof monauralor weak FM signal.
STEREO : For reception of FM stereo, When tuned in a
stereo signal, the tuner will automatically select
and demodulate FM stereophonic signals. The

broadcasting.
In the MONO position, interstationnoise generatedwhen
Tuning in a FM station will be not muted.

can preset memory tuning. This is a feature only a synthesized
tuner can offer, letting you recall a stored station frequency
instantly with a single tap of a button.
• One station button can store one AM and or one FM sta-
tion in its memory. With the 10 station buttons, a total of 20
AM and
FM station
can
be stored.
• The RT-845AXL memory stores a total of 20 FM stations,
GNO
and
20 MWILW
stations.
• The power source of unplugged, or if there is a power
failure, the electrical energy accumulated in the capacitor
while the unit was ON will retain the frequencies stored in
the memory circuit for three days. (The memory is retained
as long as the power cord is plugged into an AC outlet,
regardless of the position of the POWER button. ) if you leave
the power cord unplugged for over three days, the stored
frequencies will be lost.
• Before commercing operation, check to make sure all
antenna, amplifier and power connections are properly made.
I. Set the volume control on the amplifier to minimum posi-
tion, and amplifier function switch to TUNER position (or to
AUX position if the tuner is connected to AUX terminal).
2. Turn on the amplifier and press the POWER button on
tuner.
3. Depress FM/AM button of the tuner function selector.
(On RT-845AXL select to the FM/MW/LW button).
4, Tune in to the desired station by means of tuning or
station
buttons.
5. Raise the volume to the desired level,and enjoy listening.
TUNING
The unit is designed to permit three modes of tuning: AUTO
TUNING,
MANUAL
and PRESET
• AUTO
TUNING
Set to Auto Tuning position. Press Tuning button, UP or
DOWN, automatic scanning AM/FM band begins. Scanning
stops when it reaches a point whffe the input signal exceeds
a certain acceptable level. To tune in to another station, press
DOWN or UP button according to the frequency of the desired
station.
• MANUAL
TUNING
Set to Manual Tuning position. A tap of the tuning button,
DOWN or UP, will shift the tuning frequency in specified
increments.
If you keep the button depressed down, the
frequency will change continously.
stop frequency change.
• PRESET
MEMORY
TUNING
Tune
in to the desired
tuning mode
Depress the MEMORY button , then Tap
any station button, 1 through 10 or tap SHIFT button then
select I I through 20,toenterthe frequency into the memory
circuit. Thereafter, you may recall the same frequency any
time simply by depressing the same button.
12
NOTE: Once the MEMORY button is pressed, you must press
the appropriate
station button within several seconds to enter
the station frequency. If more time elapses before you press
the station button, entry cannot be made. In that case start
again, following the above precedures. The above procedures
should also be followed to chang the station preset for a given
station
button.
NOTE: If you have turned off the unit, and turn it on again,
the unit will tune in to the station frequency to which it was
tuned immediately before turn-off.
HUM AND NOISE
Hum often accompanies activation of power supply. If hum
is generated,try repluggingthe power cord into the wall outlet,
reversing the plug this time. Other possible causes of hum
include improper routing of connecting cords (try changing
cord position). or incorrect pin-plug insertion. Check all
connections if hum persists.
If noise is introduced, it is usually caused by improper posi-
tioning of antenna cable or improper antenna installation.
Use a 75-ohm
multipath to obtain optimal signal reception. Note that dur-
ing signal reception the unit may pick up noise from other
household electric appliances (as when switching power on
or off). In that case, check the relative location of the
appliances and keep them away from the unit, or vice versa,
as necessary.
Note I: In a location near a broadcasting station, very strong
signals may cause noise or distortion,depending
of antenna
the antenna
Note 2: Inside a concrete building. FM signals are weaken-
ed and satisfactory reception may be difficult. An outdoor FM
antenna will best remedy such a situation.
