Memory

Preservation

This

unit

does

not

require

memory

preservation

batteries.

A

built-

in

memory

power

back-up

system

preserves

the

contents

of

the

memory

during

power

failures

and

even

when

the

unit

is

unplugged.

The

unit

must

be

plugged

in

and

the

power

switch

turned

on

and

off

once

in

order

to

charge

the

back-up

system.

Note

that

since

this

is

NOt

a

permanent

memory,

the

power

switch

must

be

turned

on

and

off

a

few

times

each

month

to

keep

the

back-up

system

operable.

The

period

of

time

during

which

memory

contents

are

preserved

after

power

has

last

been

turned

off

varies

depending

on

climate

and

the

location

and

placement

of

the

unit.

On

the

average,

memory

contents

are

protected

over

a

period

of

3

to

4

weeks

{a

minimum

of

2

weeks)

after

the

last

time

power

has

been

turned

off.

This

period

is

shorter

when

the

unit

is

exposed

to

very

high

humidity

or

used

in

an

area

with

an

extremely

humid

climate.

APR

(Automatic

Precision

Reception)

System

This

unit

is

equipped

with

Onkyo’s

unique

APR

system

that

automatically

controls

the

stereo/mono

reception

modes,

antenna

input

DX/local

setting

(TX-36

and

FM

auto

hi-blend

function

according

to

the

quality

(signai

strength,

distortion,

etc.)

of

the

signal

currently

being

received.

Consequently,

optimum

reception

(the

lowest

distortion

and

highest

S/N

ratio)

is

assured

at

all

times.

The

FM

mute/mode

switch

{!4

should

normally

be

left

in

the

ON(STEREO)

(MB)

position.

Set

to

the

OFF(MONO)

(a:

position

only

to

receive

weak

FM

stations

that

are

suppressed

by

the

muting

circuitry.

In

this

setting,

even

stereo

broadcasts

will

be

received

in

the

monaural

made

(the

stereo

indicator

[21]

will

remain

off)

and

the

APR

stereo/mono

selection

function

will

not

operate.

The

FM

tuning

level

switch

15]

is

also

linked

to

the

APR

system.

Therefore,

the

position

of

this

switch

determines

the

signal

strength

jevel

at

which

APR

will

switch

the

reception

mode

between

stereo

and

{when

is

in

the
