●

Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside

the battery compartment.)

●

Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter is not

used for an extended period of time.

●

If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid

touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with

clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly

before installing new batteries.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

●

Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminal(s) correctly, referring to the following diagram.

●

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are supplied to this unit. In general, these antennas will provide sufficient signal strength.

Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception

quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Connecting the AM loop antenna

* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.

* The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

GND terminal

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the

GND terminal to a good earth ground, which is a metal stake

driven into moist earth.

Notes

●

When connecting the indoor

FM antenna, insert its

connector into the FM ANT

terminal firmly.

●

If you need an outdoor

FM antenna to improve

FM reception quality, either

300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations

troubled by electrical interference, a coaxial cable is

preferable.

Selecting the SPEAKER system

Because one or two speaker systems can be connected to this

unit, the SPEAKERS switches allow you to select speaker

system A or B, or both at once.

Adjusting the BALANCE control

Adjust the balance of the output volume to the left and right

speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by

speaker location or listening room conditions.

Adjusting the BASS and TREBLE

controls

BASS : Turn this clockwise to increase (or counter-

clockwise to decrease) the low frequency

response.

TREBLE : Turn this clockwise to increase (or counter-

clockwise to decrease) the high frequency

response.

Adjusting the continuously variable

LOUDNESS control

This control provides compensation for the human ears’ loss of

sensitivity to high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.

This control is adjustable to retain full tonal range at any

volume level.

1

Set to the “FLAT” position.

2

Set to the loudest listening level

that you would listen in.

3

Turn until the desired volume is

gained.

Using the PURE DIRECT switch

RX-496RDS and RX-496 only

You can enjoy the purest possible sound from your audio

sources by pressing this switch so that the indicator lights up.

By doing so, the audio signal bypasses the BASS, TREBLE,

BALANCE and LOUDNESS controls, eliminating any

alteration to the audio signal.

To cancel this function, press it again so that the indicator goes

off.

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data

from being lost even if this unit is turned into the standby mode

or the power plug is disconnected from the AC outlet or the

power is cut due to temporary power failure. If, however, the

power is cut for more than one week, the memory may be

erased. If so, it can be re-programmed by simply following the

PRESET TUNING steps.

MANUAL PRESET TUNING

This unit can store station frequencies selected by tuning operation. With this function, you can recall any desired station only by

selecting the preset station number where it is stored. Up to 40 stations (8 stations x 5 groups) can be stored.

Notes

●

You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM

station manually by simply following the procedure of the

section “To store stations” on page 18.

●

The automatic preset tuning search will be performed

through all RDS network frequencies until stations are stored

up to E8. If the number of received stations is not enough to

be stored up to E8, the search is finished automatically after

searching all frequencies.

●

With this function, only RDS stations with sufficient signal

strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to

program is weak in signal strength, tune to it in monaural

manually and program it by following the procedure of the

section “To store stations” on page 18.

* There may be a case that this function cannot receive a

station which could be received by the automatic tuning

method. This is because this function receives a large

volume of PI (Program Identification) data along with the

station.

●

If the number of received stations is not enough to be stored

up to E8, the search is finished automatically after searching

all frequencies.

●

With this function, only FM stations with sufficient signal

strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to

program is weak in signal strength, tune to it in monaural

manually and program it by following the procedure of the

section “To store stations” on page 18.
