Adjusting the volume
1Adjust the volume using » VOLUME « (on the right side of the
device).
Adjusting the tone
1 Adjust the tone using »
TONE LOW HIGH« (on the right side of the
device).
Listening with earphones
1 Insert the earphone plug (ø 3.5 mm, stereo) into the » 0« jack on the
left of the device.
– This automatically switches off the loudspeakers.
Switching between stereo and mono reception
FM stereo reception is only available with earphones.
1 Connect the earphones and select an FM station.
2 Set the » MONO/STEREO « switch (on the left of the device) to stereo.
– Display: » «.
3 If the reception of the station is weak in FM stereo, move the
»MONO/STEREO « switch (on the left of the device) to mono.
– Display: » « disappears from the display.
Setting the reception sensitivity
1 Set the » DX./LO. « switch (on the left of the device) to » DX.«.
– The sensitivity is set to high, in other words, long-range reception.
2 If the signal is too strong, and is causing distortion, move the » DX./
LO. « switch to » LO.« (low sensitivity).
Special features of SW reception
Short wave reception
Your radio can receive signals in a number of frequency bands. It is easy\
 to
get used to tuning to stations in the FM, MW and LW bands, since they are
always on the same frequencies. 
Unfortunately, this is not always the case with short wave stations. Due to
atmospheric conditions, short wave stations must frequently broadcast on
different wavelengths. Most short wave bands are available all over the
world and can be used by international broadcasters. At present these are
the only wavelengths which provide listeners with direct reception over \
long
distances. For this reason, short wave frequencies are not only used by
radio stations, but also by other users such as amateur radio enthusiast\
s,
shipping, aircraft and radio navigation systems.

If you want to listen to a particular SW station, you need to know the precise
frequency and wavelength. Many short wave stations will send you broad-
casting schedules which give you the information you need. You can also
download the information from the Internet.
Connecting the external SW antenna
To improve short wave reception, you can connect the external SW antenna
supplied.
1Insert the plug of the antenna cable into the » SW EXT. ANT.« socket
on the left of the device.
Note:
Unroll and align the antenna to achieve the best reception. If there is
interference, you can move the » DX./LO.« switch to » LO.«.
SSB reception (for example for radio hams and 
shipping)
Some short wave stations broadcast Morse code for shipping using conti-
nuous waves (CW). Voice signals, for example amateur radio, is normally
broadcast on the single side band (SSB).
1 Select the SW waveband using » BAND«.
2 Select the frequency band, for example » 75m«, using » SW SELECT «.
3 Set the » SSB ON OFF « switch (on the right of the device) to » ON«.
– The » TUNE/SSB 
•« LED lights up red and then goes out.
4 Slowly turn the » SSB FINE TUNING « dial on the right of the device
until you achieve a clear reception.
– If an SSB station is received, the » TUNE/SSB 
•« LED lights up
orange.
Notes:
For fine tuning, you can also press in the » TUNING FINE« dial. 
The range for SSB fine tuning is around ± 1.5 kHz.
