Display Elements - T+A R 1260 R Betriebsanleitung

Display elements

All the display elements of the tuner section are grouped
together in one clearly arranged display area. Only the
essential data is shown at any one time, in order to keep
the display as simple as possible to understand and
operate. If you have tuned in a station broadcasting RDS
information, then the screen shows the station's name in
plain text. Extra information which is only needed occa-
sionally, e.g. an accurate display of the signal field
strength, can be called up and displayed simply by
pressing a button.

a. STEREO 
This symbol glows if the selected transmitter is broad-
casting a STEREO signal. The STEREO LED disappears
if the tuner is picking up a MONO programme, or if the
receiver has been switched manually to MONO using the
 button.

b. WIDE    
The WIDE symbol signals that the tuner is set to receive
the selected station using the wide bandwidth mode. This
mode provides maximum possible reproduction quality
when reception conditions are good, and when there is
no adjacent transmitter which could cause interference. If
you switch to 'NARROW' bandwidth manually, the WIDE
LED goes out.
c. ATTENUATOR 
  
This symbol indicates that the antenna attenuator is
switched on. See   button.

d. Signal field strength 
These bars give an approximate indication of the field
strength of the signal being received, and thus the
reception quality to be expected from the station you
have selected. The significance of the LEDs is as follows:

Note:
This coarse classification is quite adequate to allow you
to judge whether a station is worth tuning in when you
have set up a station search. If you need a more precise
indication of field strength - perhaps you want to position
a rotary antenna accurately - then the screen can provide
an accurate numerical value on the alpha-numeric dis-
play (see the section entitled 'Display Functions').
e. Alpha-numeric display field
This part of the screen shows the frequency of the
selected station while you are tuning. When the tuner
picks up a station whose signal is above the seek thresh-
old, a tuning indicator (TUNING) appears on the left,
adjacent to the reception frequency.
If you select a stored station (PRESET) the preset
number appears on the left of this field.
The station name of an RDS transmitter appears in plain
text shortly after it has been tuned in accurately.
If the station is not tuned in accurately, or if the trans-
mitter does not possess an RDS code, the screen con-
tinues to display the frequency and the tuning indicator.
During certain processes, such as storing station presets,
the alpha-numeric display shows additional information.
