							MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS
In addition to standard tuning methods
described previously, use the following
controls for special operations.
This switch adjusts the receivers sensitivity.
When you listen to a strong station and thesignal is slightly distorted, set the switch tothe LOCAL position for best reception. For
normal or weak stations, set the switch tothe DX position for maximum sensitivity.
To  reduce  interference  from  adjacent
stations, set this switch to the NARROWposition  and  the  interference  will  be
suppressed. For maximum selectivity, leave
the switch in the WIDE position.AM  SENSITIVITY:  DISTANCE/
LOCAL SELECTTIVITY SWITCHAM: NARROW/WIDE
SELECTIVITY SWITCHWhile not a control, you may consider using
HEADPHONES to obtain the best audio
clarity when listening to SW. Since many
SW  stations  broadcast  only  marginal
signals, using HEADPHONES will enable
you to distinguish between the signal and
the noise usually encountered at night. Be
sure that the HEADPHONES terminate in
a 1/8 inch plug, which  is inserted into the
HEADPHONE jack located on the left side
of the radio, marked with the symbol    .
When the HEADPHONES are plugged in,
the speaker is muted.
Because the radio is capable of receiving
FM multiplex stereo, the HEADPHONES
should be stereo capable  so  that your
listening enjoyment will be enhanced. When
listening  to  stereo FM, be sure that the
FM: STEREO/MONO switch is set to the
STEREO position. This switch is located on
the lift-hand side of the radio, just above
the HEADPHONE jack.HEADPHONE USE23AM  SENS

							Using  the  LOCK  switch  prevents
unauthorized operation of the radio and will
also prevent the station you are listening to
from being changed. When  the  LOCK
switch  is  moved to its up         position,
the POWER button ant TUNING controls
are completely disabled. If the radio is on
when the LOCK switch is moved to its up
         position, you will not be able to turn it
off. If the radio is off, with the LOCK
switch in its up          position, you will
not be able to turn it on. This will also
prevent it from being turned on by
accident, when packed in a suitcaseor attache case. To release the LOCK
switch, simply move the switch down.To obtain optimum performance from this unit,
especially when listening to SW an externalantenna should be used to the EXTERNAL  AN-TENNA   ADAPTER  and  then  plugged  into
the EXTERNAL  ANTENNA jack located on
the left side of the radio.
Located on the right side of the unit, just
beneath the ROTARY TUNING knob is a
switch marked, MW STEP: 9K/10K. Thisswitch selects the incremental frequencySTEPS for the MW band, depending uponyour geographic location. In the USA, 10KSTEPS are used, so the switch should beset to its lowest position. In other parts ofthe world where they use 9K STEPS, movethe switch to the uppermost position.LOCK SWITCH USEEXTERNAL  ANTENNA USEMW  STEP  SELECTOR  SWITCH24
