User manual SONY XR-6077

[. . . ] BTM (Best Tuning Memory) function automatically searches and stores the stations with the strongest signals on the preset number buttons in order of frequency (page 7). Additional services are available, if FM RDS stations can be received (page 9). Intro scan function plays the first 10 seconds of each track (page 6). Repeat play function plays back a track repeatedly (page 6). [. . . ] Also, the unit may read long sections of low volume music or quiet sections on a track as blanks between tracks. Blanks longer than eight seconds will be automatically skipped during tape playback. The first 10 seconds of all the tracks are played. When you find the desired track, press the button once more. Release the button when the desired station is received. Press either side of the SEEK/AMS button to search for the station (automatic tuning). When tuning in during driving, use the automatic tuning and the memory preset search function (page 8) instead of the manual tuning. Press either side of the button repeatedly until the desired station is received. When an FM stereo program with a sufficient signal strength is tuned in, This function selects from the currently received band the stations with the strongest signals and memorizes them in order of their frequency. To avoid the automatic tuning from stopping on stations too frequently (local seek mode), press the SENS button momentarily to get the "LCL" indication. Only the stations with relatively strong signals can be tuned in. When you tune in an FM station that transmits RDS data, the station name lights up on the display. Note When there is no alternative station in the area and you don't need to search for an alternative station, turn the AF function off by pressing the AF/TA button until "AF/TA OFF" lights up. Each time you press the AF/TA button, the displayed items change as follows: Z AF ON z TA ON z AF/TA ON* AF/TA OFF Z * Select this to turn on both AF and TA functions. If the station service name starts flashing after you've made the preset selection, it means that no alternative frequency is available and the unit cannot receive the PI (Programme Identification) data of the memorized station. Press the SEEK/AMS button while the station service name is flashing (for about eight seconds) so the unit starts searching for a station with the same PI data, but with another frequency ("PI SEEK" lights up and no sound is heard). If the unit still cannot find an alternative station, "NO PI" lights up and the unit goes back to the original preset station. Note The "*" indication means that an RDS station is being received. Each time you press the D button, the displayed items change as follows: Note "NO NAME" lights up if the station received does not transmit RDS data. The "REG ON" (regional on) function of this unit lets you stay tuned to a regional programme without being switched to another regional station. (Note that you must turn the AF function on. ) The unit is factory preset to "REG ON", but if you want to turn off the function, do the following. [. . . ] If an emergency announcement comes in while you are listening to the radio, the programme will be automatically switched to the announcement. If you are listening to a source other than the radio, the emergency announcements will be heard if you set AF or TA to on. The unit will then automatically switch to these announcement no matter what you are listening to at the time. When you preset the RDS stations, the unit stores each station's data as well as its frequency, so you don't have to turn on the AF or TA function every time you turn in the preset station. [. . . ]
