Front Panel Display

The fluorescent display in the center of the
RT-1080 provides status information used in
operating the AM/FM receiver (such as sta-
tion frequency display, band, preset memory,
RDS information, etc.).

MEMORY Button

The MEMORY button is used to confirm and

the relevant sections that follow.

Setting Country Mode

The RT-1080 has two modes (one for the USA
and one for Europe) that configure the unit
for differences in local markets, including FM
tuning intervals, AM tuning intervals, and
differences in the European RDS and United
States RBDS standards. Your unit has been
factory configured to the correct mode for the
country in which it was purchased.
To switch to the USA mode, press and

and the unit will power up in the European
configuration.

Basic Tuning Controls

The RT-1080 features a digital synthesized
AM/FM tuner with RDS or RBDS capability
and 30 station presets. The unit offers a wide
range of tuning options. Here is an overview
of the tuning options (more detailed infor-
mation is provided in subsequent sections
of this manual):
• Manual frequency tuning tunes up
or down to the next station frequency. Set
the TUNE/PRESET mode to TUNE. Turn
off AUTO TUNING. Use the DOWN/UP
controls to tune up or down.
• Direct frequency tuning lets you enter
the desired station frequency digits. Press
the FREQ DIRECT button on the remote
and enter the digits using the NUMERIC
buttons.
• Automatic frequency search tun-
ing lets you search up or down to find
the next receivable broadcast signal. Set
the TUNE/PRESET mode to TUNE. Turn
on AUTO TUNING. Use the DOWN/UP
controls to search up or down.
• Memory station preset tuning lets
you directly enter the number of a mem-
orized station preset number. Enter the
number of the memorized preset using
the NUMERIC buttons.
• Preset scan tuning scans through the
memorized station presets. Press the PRE-
SET SCAN button to begin scanning.
• RDS (Europe) or RBDS (USA) tun-
ing provides special tuning and search
features based on data codes encoded
with the broadcast signal. See the RDS
section of this manual for detailed infor-
mation.

BAND Button

The BAND button selects whether the tuner
receives AM or FM broadcast signals. Press
the button to toggle between AM and FM.
An indicator will light at the left portion of the
display to confirm your choice. The currently
tuned station frequency will be shown.

TUNING Controls

A pair of buttons, labeled DOWN/UP on
the front panel and < TUN/PRESET > on the
remote, serve as the main tuning controls for
the RT-1080. In the following instructions, we
refer to these as DOWN/UP buttons. You can
use either the front panel or remote buttons;
their function is identical.
These controls provides different tuning functions,
depending on the mode of operation:
In the FREQUENCY TUNING mode with
AUTO TUNING off, press a DOWN/UP
button to manually jump to the next frequen-
cy, regardless of whether or not a station
is broadcasting on that frequency. See the
TUNE/PRESET button and AUTO TUNING
button sections for details on changing the
tuning modes.
In the FREQUENCY TUNING mode with
AUTO TUNING on, press a DOWN/UP
button to start auto tuning. The tuner begins
automatically scanning up or down through
the frequencies until the next receivable sig-
nal is detected. If this is not the desired sta-
tion, repeat the automatic tuning procedure
to find the next station. Weak stations will
be skipped during auto tuning. If no receiv-
able signal is detected, the tuner will revert
to the last previously tuned station. See the
TUNE/PRESET button and AUTO TUNING
button sections for details on changing the
tuning modes.
In the PRESET TUNING mode, press a
DOWN/UP button to advance to the next
memorized station preset. See the TUNE/
PRESET button section for details on chang-
ing the tuning modes.
In the RDS PTY search mode, press a
DOWN/UP button to select the desired pro-
gram type from the scrolling list in the dis-
play. See the RDS PTY button in the section
on RDS tuning for details.
: Several indicators in the display as-
NOTE
sist tuning. A large display shows the tuned
frequency. A signal strength indicator shows
the strength of the incoming signal. A TUNED
indicator lights when a sufficiently strong sig-
nal is received. A ST indicator lights when a
stereo FM signal is received. Indicators show
the currently selected tuning mode.
