FM/AM preset memory The hk715 allows you to preset up to 8 sta- tions, either FM stations, AM stations or a combination of both. Once registered in the memory, these stations may then be recalled without scanning by depressing the proper FM/AM PRESET MEMORY pushbutton (15). To register a station in the memory, first locate the station, then press the MEMORY pushbutton (12). The MEMORY pushbutton (12) will light for approximately five seconds. During this time, press any of the eight AM/FM PRESET MEMORY pushbuttons (15). The station has been registered when the light on the preset memory button lights. To return to that station at any time simply push that preset memory button. It is not necessary to press the AM or FM pushbuttons (13) (14). Any time any of the AM/FM PRESET MEMORY buttons (15) arc pressed, and the MEMORY button (12) is also depressed, the previously registered station will automatically be cancelled and the new one registered. Whenever the tuner is turned on, it will automatically tune to the last station you listened to, regardless of whether that station was registered in memory or not. Note: If power to the hk715 is cut for any reason all present stations will be cancelled from the memory function. Therefore DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER LINE CORD (9) TO A SWITCHED AC OUTLET ON YOUR AMPLIFIER. Using the POWER switch (11) does not affect the memory. Modes The MODE pushbutton (16) allows you to listen to FM broadcasts in either stereo or mono modes. To listen to a stereo broadcast in the stereo mode, keep the MODE pushbutton (16) in the STEREO position (out). If the signal is weak, pushing the MODE pushbutton (16) to MONO position (in) may improve reception, hut will cancel stereo reception. For best reception of FM programs not broadcast in stereo, keep the MODE pushbutton (16) in the MONO position (in). Hi blend (MPX filter) Occasionally, a weak FM stereo broadcast will introduce high-frequency noise or hiss. Depressing the HI BLEND pushbutton (17) will blend some of the high-frequency program content of the left and right channels. This has the effect of reducing noise, at some sacrifice in stereo separation. Signal strength Stations are precisely tuned by means of the quartz locked circuitry and displayed in digital form on the FREQUENCY DISPLAY (19). The relative signal strength is shown by means of indicator lights in the SIGNAL STRENGTH display (18). The weakest signals register two indicator lights, the strongest register seven. Operation precautions 1 When the POWER switch (11) is turned on, there may be a short delay before sound is heard. This is due to the circuitry stabilizing itself. 2 When power is disconnected for any reason other than ON/OFF switching, all stations on preset memory as well as the last station you listened to are cancelled. When power is returned, the FREQUENCY DISPLAY (18) will show "FM 88.10 MHz." Always use an unswitched AC outlet when powering the hk715 through other components. ""FM 87.50 MHz" on Eropean models. 8
