ADDING YOUR OWN WORLD CITY You may program 1 world city of your choice into the receiver if it is not among the 42 cities already programmed into the receiver. Push Home/World button. Home display will flash. Using Rotary Knob select correct city/time zone required. Press button 12 (Edit Button)and using Rotary knob and up/down buttons (10) enter the correct city name you desire. When name is completely entered press button(17) ( ) . RADIO OPERATION The selection of radio bands FM/LW/MW/SW is made by selecting buttons (21-24). Button Band Frequency Range Wavelength 24 FM 87.5-108 MHZ VHF/FM 23 LW 153-513 kHz Long wave 22 MW(AM) 520-1710 kHz Medium Wave 21 SW 1711-29999 kHz Short Wave The ATS-909 is a continuously tunable receiver from 153 kHz-29999 Khz. This receiver is capable of receiving and tuning all the short wave bands and any stations in between. 6 TUNING METHODS This receiver offers 5 methods of frequency tuning: AT S - A u t o T u n i n g This system automatically sets your memory presets based upon the signal strength of the received station Frequency of desired station is entered into receiver using key pad on receiver Station is selected by manually using Rotary Knob. Pressing and momentarily holding UP/DOWN will automatically scan frequency band and stop when a station is detected Stations preselected using memory will be selected merely by pressing digital buttons on key pad. Direct Tuning Manual Tuning Scan Tuning Memory Tuning ATS-Automatic Tuning System The ATS-909 features an automatic tuning system that will quickly and automatically set all your memory presets on FM, LW and MW based upon the signal strength of the incoming stations. Among the many conveniences offered by this feature it is especially useful for the traveler who can automatically find all the local stations in any strange city he may travel to with just the push of a button.. To start A press and hold for more then 2 seconds the buttons designated ATS/FM or ATS/LW or TS ATS/MW. The display will flash ATS and the memory presets M1 through M9 are assigned stations selected automatically by the ATS system. The ATS system will automatically store 18 presets on MW and FM and 9 presets on LW. (9 presets on each page. Once the ATS has set the 9 presets on 1 page press the Page button to change pages and repeat the ATS-procedure to select the remaining presets). An audible signal indicates the automatic search has been completed and the presets have been assigned. ATS is not possible on the SW Bands. DIRECT TUNING USING KEY PAD If you know the frequency of the station you are seeking press button(15) FREQ and enter the frequency you desire directly using the numerical key pad. Don't forget to use the decimal point button if the frequency you are entering has a decimal point in its frequency. Press button (17) to enter the frequency. MANUAL TUNING (ROTARY TUNING) Manual Tuning is accomplished using the convenient Rotary Tuning Knob(31). 7 The Step button (5) is used to determine the tuning spread for each step of the Rotary Tuning Knob. Spread may be changing accordingly: BANDS FM STEP Fast Slow 100 KHz 50 KHz 9 KHz 1 KHz 9/10 KHz 5 KHz 1 KHz 1 KHz 1 KHz 40 Hz LW MW SW AM USB/LSB AUTO/MANUAL SCAN TUNING To start Auto Scan Tuning select band to tune and press one of the tuning buttons (10) for more then 1/2 second. Once scan starts release button. The Auto Scan stops as soon as a station of adequate signal strength is located. Repeat operation to start scan again. Scan can be halted by pressing the tuning button (10) momentarily any time during the scanning process. To manually tune to a frequency of your choice hold down one of the tuning buttons (10) until the frequency desired is displayed. MEMORY TUNING It is possible to preset up to 306 stations using memory capability of the A TS-909. Each 9 presets compromise 1 page. The SW band is capable of storing 29 pages or 261 preset stations (29 Pages x 9 Presets/Page): 18 Presets on FM and MW (2 Pages 9 Presets)and 9 presets on LW. To Manually Set Memory on FM/MW/LW Bands: Tune to station you would like to program into memory. Press memo button (16) [M], MEMO will flash in LCD display, select page desired by pressing PAGE button[11].Display will flash and next available position on display will flash if an available. If memory is memory is full no suggested position will flash and LCD will display MEMOFULL when any button is depressed. Press ( ) button to assign new frequency to available flashing open position, If selected button is held for more then 2 seconds, even with MEMOFULL flashing, newly selected station will replace existing station. To Manually Set Memory on SW Bands: Tune to station you would like to program into memory. Press memo button (16)[M], MEMO will flash in LCD display. Select page desired by using UP/DOWN button [10]. Display will flash and next available position on display will flash if an available position is available. Press ( ) button to assign frequency to flashing available position.
