The L 54’s internal AM/FM tuner oers very high quality sound from radio broadcasts. The reception
and sound quality will always be dependent to a degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as
well as proximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.
ABOUT ANTENNAS
The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel FM-antenna input using
the included ‘balun’ adapter and should be fully extended to form a “T”. This folded-dipole antenna
will usually work best when oriented vertically, with the arms of its “T” fully outstretched and arranged
perpendicular to the origin of the desired broadcast. There are no ‘rules,’ however, and experimenting
freely with antenna placement and orientation may yield the clearest sound and lowest background
noise.
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.
SELECTING THE RADIO
To select the L 54’s tuner mode, press “INPUT SELECT” button on the front panel repeatedly until AM/
FM mode or the HTR 4’s numeric ‘+10’ while at AMP or TUNER device selector page.
Press TUNE / on the front panel momentarily to step up or down between AM or FM
frequencies.
Press and hold TUNE / for more than 2 seconds to search up or down - the L 54’s tuner will
stop at the next suciently strong signal it encounters. Pressing the TUNE / during the search
process will stop the search.
SETTING RADIO PRESET
The L 54 can store as many as 60 (30 FM and 30 AM stations) of your favorite radio stations for
immediate recall. To store a radio preset, rst tune the desired frequency (see above), then press the
front panel “SETUP/MEMORY” button. The VFD will show a blinking “PROG” icon and a vacant Preset
number.
Press “SETUP MEMORY” button again to store the desired frequency on the Preset number shown or
use the / keys to select another available Preset number. Then, press “SETUP/MEMORY” key
button again.
The Radio Presets must be stored from the front panel. This setup function is not accessible from the
HTR 4 remote control.
Use the PRESET / keys on the front panel to step up or down between presets. Press and hold
PRESET / to “scroll” continuously up or down. The HTR 4 remote’s ‘PRESET’ keys work similarly.
Empty presets will be skipped during preset tuning.
