OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS UNPACKING AND SETTING UP This manual covers installation and operation of the RS-330 Digital FM/AM Stereo Clock Radio. The optional RS-332 High-Fidelity Clock Radio Stereo Speaker is required for stereo listening (although you can listen through stereo headphones with the RS-330 by itself). After unpacking the RS-330, plug its power cord 30 into an appropriate AC power outlet. 120 volt AC power is standard throughout most of North America. Voltage varies in other parts of the world. The RS-330 may emit a "thump" when first plugged in; this is normal. There is an FM MODE switch 24 next to the control cable jack on the back panel. If you are using the RS-332 High-Fidelity Clock Radio Stereo Speaker, set this switch to STEREO to hear stereo broadcasts. If you are listening to the RS-330 by itself, set this switch to MONO. THE DISPLAY The fluorescent display shows the current time, station frequency, alarm settings, and operational modes. A light sensor at the base of the display automatically adjusts the display' s brightness to compensate for changes in room lighting. You can modify the automatic setting with the recessed knob 32 on the bottom of the RS-330. Turn this knob clockwise to make the display brighter, counter-clockwise to make it dimmer. E 6 RS-330_381B101A.p65 Page 6 2003/6/18, ¤U¤È 02:24 Adobe PageMaker 6.5C/Win E The display shows either the station frequency, or the current time, but not both simultaneously. Whenever you turn on the radio, or select a new station, the display automatically switches to the station frequency. The display will automatically return to the time after seven seconds. To view the station frequency, press the FREQ (frequency) button 10 . BACKUP SYSTEM The RS-330 features a built-in super capacitor backup system to retain alarm settings and station presets for up to one hour when the unit is unplugged or power is lost. The clock also continues to keep time, as accurately as when connected to the power. It will take at least two hours after plugging in, before the backup system is functional. Please note that the backup system retains only the radio and clock settings. It does not supply enough power to illuminate the display or play the radio. POSITIONING THE RS-330 The RS-330 should be placed where it is not exposed to high temperatures or humidity. Although the RS-330 Clock Radio sounds great by itself, when paired with the optional RS-332 High-Fidelity Powered Speaker, it provides brilliant stereo sound. You may want to reposition the RS-330 and the RS-332 for the best sound. They should be about equally distant from your usual listening position. The farther you separate the RS-330 and RS-332, the more spacious the sound becomes. Placing either unit closer to a wall or corner produces more bass. Note: The power cord and extension cable should be located where it cannot be chewed by pets or tripped over. Front-panel control buttons are back-lit for ease of use in a darkened room. RADIO OPERATION Press the POWER ON/OFF switch 1 to turn on the radio. Adjust the VOLUME 19 control to a comfortable level. Press POWER ON/OFF a second time to turn the radio off. The TREBLE 20 and BASS 21 controls can be set to taste, or to make the program material sound better. Turning up the bass when listening at low volume levels gives a richer sound. Turning the controls toward the + mark increases the treble or bass. Turning them toward the _ mark decreases the treble or bass. 7 RS-330_381B101A.p65 Page 7 2003/6/18, ¤U¤È 02:24 Adobe PageMaker 6.5C/Win TUNING The RS-330 receives both FM and AM broadcasts. When the radio is first turned on, the letters FM will appear on the display indicating that the RS-330 is set to receive FM transmissions. To change to the AM band, press the BAND button 13 . The display will change to AM. Press this button a second time to return to the FM band. APS (AUTO PROGRAM STATIONS) When first plugged in to the power, the APS (Auto Program Stations) system will scan from the low frequency to high frequency and store the stations automatically by priority of signal strength when they are found. When APS is completed, the radio will stop at Preset 1 of Page 1 _ the strongest signal station in your tuning area. To restart the APS system, select the required radio band (either FM or AM) by pressing the BAND button 13 . Then press the APS button 23 on the rear panel for more than two seconds _ APS will appear in the display. MANUAL TUNING Press and release TUNE/TIME buttons 11 to move one step up () or down () in frequency. Each press changes the FM frequency by 100 kHz and the AM frequency by 10 kHz. Hold down either button to scan rapidly. SCAN TUNING Press and hold the TUNE/TIME buttons 11 for more than one-half second to scan the selected band and the tuner will stop automatically when it lands on an active station. PRESET TUNING The RS-330 has six PRESET tuning buttons 14 labeled 1 through 6. You may store up to 24 stations (6 stations on Page 1 and 6 stations on Page 2 on each FM/AM band). A.
