AM/FM Stereo With Integral Cassette (ULO)

AM/FM STEREO WITH INTEGRAL CASSETTE (ULO) OR COMPACT DISC (UNO)
To Operate the Radio
The ignition lock cylinder must be in the ACCESSORY or RUN position to operate the radio. Push the PWR knob to turn the radio on.

Volume (VOL)
Rotate the volume control to increase or decrease the volume. The faster the VOL knob is rotated, the quicker the radio goes to maximum volume. The knob is capable of rotating continuously.

Speed Control Volume (SCV)
These radios feature Speed Control Volume (SCV). The volume level automatically adjusts to compensate for road and wind noise as you drive. Adjust the volume to the listening level you want at any time. As you drive, the volume will change to match the noise present at any particular speed. The volume should always sound the same level to you as you drive.

Each detent on the SCV allows a little more compensation at a faster rate.

Band Switching (AM/FM)
Press the AM/FM push-button to toggle between AM, FM1, and FM2. The display indicates the current band.

Recall (RECALL)
Press the RECALL push-button to display the station when the radio is on and in the clock mode. When the ignition is off, press the RECALL push-button to recall the time of day. RECALL toggles between station and time of day.

Tuning
Press lightly on the TUNE control to release it from its recessed position. Rotate the TUNE knob to the right to increase frequency and to the left to decrease frequency. Push the control back in to store it while not tuning.

Seek (SEEK)
Press SEEK up or down to seek the next higher or lower station of sufficient strength and stop. Audio is muted during SEEK operation.

Scan (SCAN)
Press and hold SEEK for two (2) seconds. SCAN will appear on the display. Use SCAN to listen to stations for a few seconds. Press SEEK again to stop scanning.

Automatic Tone Control (ATC)
The Automatic Tone Control (ATC) feature tailors the equalization to the type of broadcast being received. Press AUTO TONE to step through the five preset equalization settings of CLASSIC, NEWS, ROCK, POP, or JAZZ. Note the graph and words in the display for each press of the push-button. One or more presses of the AUTO TONE push-button will bring up manual (MAN) and return the control of tone back to the TREB and BASS controls. Any time that a BASS or TREBLE control is rotated, tone is automatically set to MAN.

Bass
Depress the BASS control to remove it from its recessed position. Rotate the BASS control to the right to increase bass response. If less bass is desired, rotate the BASS control to the left. This control has a center detent position. Push the button back in to store it when not in use. Operation of this control will switch the radio's AUTO TONE feature to MAN.

Treble
Depress the TREB control to remove it from its recessed position; then pull it out to the fully extended position for TREB adjustments. Rotate the TREB control to the right to increase the treble response. If less treble is desired, rotate the TREB control to the left. This control has a center detent position. Push the button back in to store it when not in use. Operation of this control will switch the radio's AUTO TONE feature to MAN.

Station Presets
Six pushbuttons store stations in preset memory. You can set the pushbuttons for up to 18 stations (six AM, six FM1, and six FM2). To store a station in preset memory:
1. Tune in the desired station, using the TUNE knob or SEEK.
2. Press TONE to select the graph that best suits the type of station selected.
3. Press and hold one of the six pushbuttons until audio returns (approximately 2 seconds).

Whenever you press that push-button, the preset station will return. The AUTO TONE that you selected will also be automatically selected for that push-button.

Preset Scan (PSCAN)
Any stations already stored in preset memory can be sampled by the PSCAN mode. Press the PSCAN push-button. It will scan each of the presets and stop for a few seconds. The AUTO TONE setting stored for that station will be automatically chosen. The tuner will pause momentarily, then continue scanning until PSCAN or one of the preset pushbuttons is pressed again. PSCAN will appear in the display whenever the tuner is in the PSCAN mode. The channel number (P1-P6) will appear momentarily just before the frequency is displayed.

Balance (BAL)
Depress the BAL control to remove it from its recessed position. Rotate the balance to adjust the sound between the right and left speakers. This control features a center detent. Push the button back in to store it when not in use.

Fade (FADE)
Depress the FADE control to remove it from its recessed position. Rotate it to adjust the sound between the front and back speakers. This control features a center detent. Push the button back in to store it when not in use.

Clock
To set the clock, press and hold the HR or MIN push-button until it begins to change. There will be an initial two-second delay before the clock goes into the time-set mode. Release the push-button when the correct time is displayed. The clock may be set with the vehicle turned off.
