B&K Ref 30 radio preset question (1 Viewer)

[Andrew P]

How do you set radio stations using this pre/amp? I cant seem to figure this out. Im pretty sure there are 40 presets, but...

This is probably one of the dumbest questions ive ever had to ask, but I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Andy

I have the 307 so if you find out let me know too! I've seen this posted on numerous sites with no answers. That's the one big complaint I have w/ B&K is the horrible manual you get with it.

Thanks,

Yeah, me too on the FM presets. Also, how do you adjust the volume on the Zone 2 output? I push the Z button and zone 2 lights of a second and then nothing???

Don't use Zone 2.

But I can give you my answer for the 40 radio presets - I think you have to save each one as one of your 'favorites' or whatever they call saving ALL your settings as a preset. I think that's totally lame, but that is the only way I've found you can do it. Ref manual totally skips the question.

The 'better' way I found was to program a macro page on my Pronto remote - that way I can create Icons for each radio station. Just push the button, radio is selected as input, and the station is keyed in. I have one page for AM and one for FM. Works great. however, I rarely listen to radio, oh well.

good luck,

John

I use Zone 2 and to adjust the volume (I'm going to another amp, not using the internal amp mod) with the remote:

Zone, 2, then QUICKLY adjust the volume. You only get a second or 2 before it swithes back to Zone 1 control.

My house is in a valley and I get 0 radio stations right now so the presets haven't been a concern. I'm either moving soon or putting an antenea on the roof.

I'll have to try messing around w/ the presets/favorites.
