1.1.3
Operating concept
The
front-panel
controls
are arranged in two
distinct
groups.
The
most frequently
used
keys are located in the upper section of the
front
panel.
The less frequently used controls
such
as the
programming
buttons,
manual
tuning buttons,
etc. are
located in the lower
section of
the front
panel
which
can be
cov-
ered
with
an acrylic
glass
panel.
The
8261 tuner
can be
switched
on by
press-
ing
any
button
in
the
upper
front-panel
sec-
tion.
lf the tuner
is switched
on
with
POWER
ON
t1l,
the
last station
tuned
with the station
selector
keys
will automatically
be
reactivat-
ed.
This
can
be
prevented
by switching
on
the
tuner
with selector
key of the desired
station.
The tuner
features
an
electrically
isolated
REMOTE
POWER ON
socket
through
which
the tuner
can be switched
on
by a
REVOX
8710 cassette
recorder
that operates under
the control
of
its
timer.
1.1.4
How
to use
these operating instruc-
tions
Because
of
its functional operating concept,
the 8261 tuner
is relatively easy
to use despite
is
exceptional
versatility. Long explanations
are, therefore, unnecessary
in
this
handbook.
At
the beginning of
these operating instruc-
tions, a fold-out index
sheet
has
been
provid-
ed on
which
all controls
refered
to in the text
with a number
between
brackets
can be
read-
ily identified. Keep
this
index
sheet unfolded
while
studying this
handbook.
The
frequencies
orthe
names
of
stations
men-
tioned in these
operating
instructions
should
be
regarded as fictional examples. The corre-
sponding
procedure
also applies to any other
locally receivable
station
or frequency.
The
technically
interested reader
can
find ad-
ditional
information concerning reception
conditions,
noise
and antennas
in
Section 4
of
this
manual
(FM
reception
hints).
