The C 446’s internal AM/FM tuner oers very high quality sound from

radio broadcasts. You can listen to AM and FM stations either in their

native analog format or as a decoded SPDIF digital output. The reception

and sound quality will always be dependent to the type of antenna(s)

used as well as proximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather

conditions.

ABOUT ANTENNAS

Connect the supplied wire “dipole” FM antenna to the FM antenna terminal

using the supplied “balun” adapter. It will usually work best when mounted

on a vertical surface such as a wall, with arms fully outstretched forming a

horizontal “T” perpendicular to the origin point of the signal.

In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve

performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, consider

consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system.

The supplied AM “loop” antenna will usually provide adequate reception.

However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception.

Consult an antenna professional for more information.

ASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA

1 Rotate the outer frame of the antenna.

2 Insert the bottom edge of the outer frame into the groove on the stand.

3 Extend the antenna cord.

TUNING AM/FM STATIONS

Rotate the front panel [CONTROL/ENTER] or use TNR 2’s [A/S] to tune for

stations.

1 Press [A/S] momentarily to step up or down between AM or FM

frequencies.

2 Press and hold [A/S] for more than 2 seconds to search up or down

- the C 446’s tuner will stop at the next suciently strong signal it

encounters.

3 Pressing the [A/S] during the search process will stop the search.

DIRECT TUNING

If you know your desired station’s frequency allocation, you can tune

directly to the station.

1 Toggle [ENTER] button to switch between “Preset” and “Tune” mode (see

second line of the VFD). Select “Tune” mode.

2 Using the numeric keys of the remote control, key-in the frequency

allocation of the station. For example, to enter 104.50MHz, press “1”, “0”,

“4”, “5” and “0”.

STORING PRESETS (AM/FM/DAB)

The C 446 can store a mix of your 40 favorite AM, FM and DAB radio stations

for immediate recall.

1 To store a desired AM/FM station to a preset, rst tune to the desired

frequency (see above), then press TNR 2’s [MEM] button. The VFD will

show the next available Preset number – for example, “Preset 04 Free”.

If there is no more vacant Preset number, you can overwrite an existing

Preset number by pressing the [D/F] buttons to select the Preset

number you want to overwrite.

2 Press the [MEM] button again to store the desired frequency on the

Preset number shown. Your desired frequency is now stored in the

assigned preset.

DIRECT RECALL OF A PRESET NUMBER

You can directly recall a desired Preset number.

1 Toggle [ENTER] button to switch between “Preset” and “Tune” mode (see

second line of the VFD). Select “Preset” mode.

2 Using the numeric keys of the remote control, directly key-in your

desired Preset number. For example, to enter Preset 5, press “5”.

DELETING A STORED PRESET AM/FM/DAB

You can empty a preset by deleting the stored information.

1 Select the preset number to be deleted. For example, “P04”.

2 Press and hold [DEL] button until the current Preset number shown in

the VFD is extinguished (“P04 becomes “P--”.).

CHOOSING THE TUNER MODE

The TNR 2’s [FM MUTE] key is a dual-purpose control. Toggle [FM MUTE] to

switch between “FM Mute Stereo” and “Tuned”. In the normal position, “FM

Mute Stereo”, only the stations with strong signal can be listened to and the

noise between stations is muted.

Pressing the [FM MUTE] button again (“Tuned”) allows distant and

potentially noisy stations to be received. Noise is reduced if the FM

station signal level is less than the FM Stereo threshold (since mono FM is

inherently less noise-prone) though at the sacrice of the stereo eect.

ABOUT USER NAMES

A particular Preset number can be assigned a twelve-character “User

Name”. The assigned “User Name” will be shown in the VFD whenever the

associated Preset number is recalled.

ENTERING USER NAMES

To assign a Preset number with the user name “NEWS”, follow the procedure

as below.

1 Recall the desired Preset number to be assigned a “User Name”.

2 Then, press the [MEM] button once and within ve (5) seconds, press

the [INFO] button - the readout shows a blinking box.

3 Use the [D/F] buttons to select the rst character of the name (“N”

from the alphabetical list).

4 Press [S] button to select the character and correspondingly move

forward to the next position. (Press [A] to go back to the previous

character). Repeat this process for each character in sequence.

5 Press the [MEM] key again to store the User Name and exit the text-

entry mode.
