Howdy all,

I've email Boston Accoustics with these questions twice, but have yet to get
a response, so I thought I'd go to the experts...

I was hoping someone could help me out. I have one of their Receptor HD
digital radios.

I know how to get into the "hidden" service menu on it to adjust the tone /
bass as well as the brightness and such, but it doesn't save these settings
once I turn the radio off and then back on.

For example, I turn the bass control all the way down from 15 to 0 before I
set the sleep time at night for 60 minutes all is good. But when the radio
turns itself off until my wake to music alarm in the morning the bass has
gone back to its default setting. Any suggestion on how to save these from
one session to the next.

Does anyone have a users guide / faq / website link to the service menus? It
seems to have a lot of neat options (like turning SPLIT ON and OFF as well
as BASS BOOST ON and OFF ect... but I have no clue what they do. I've
googled it a variety of way, but haven't seen any discussions about it other
than links to the BA website where you can download the standard basic
manual that came with the radio.

Lastly, and this is going to sound crazy, but when I have the radio on the
bedside table at night, a Vol Setting of 1 is too loud and Vol setting of 0
is completely off. Anyway to adjust the volume range or steps between the
numbers and defaults similar to be being able to adjust the brightness?

Unfortunely, when the radio is only a few feet away from your head Even VOL
1 is loud enough to keep the wife awake.

Thanks for any advice!

If you go to www.rffun.com you should be able to find a selection of
receivers that aren't saddled with the HD technology.

It'll fail commercially but it definitely helps reception in some

It requires externally mounted dipole antennas - the general public is
not going to bother with this joke of a technology.

The three I have work fine in the LA basin. In fact, our AM, which is
unlistenable inside our building in analog, produces a clean HD signal at
the same location.

There is NO clean HD signal, it is all QRM.

Run along now, and shill elsewhere.

If my memory serves; the bass is adjustable from 0 to minus 6.

Please explain to me how you are seeing SPLIT ON/OFF & BASS BOOST ON/OFF?

My VOL setting varies from Zero (0) to One-Hundred (100). How you can say
that the volume setting of one (1) is too loud is a mystery to me.

Your entire post is a mystery.

Hi, OP here.

I only called the service menu "hidden" because its not documented in the
manual. There are quite a few adjustments that can be made in this menu, my
only question is how I can save them once I make the changes so it lasts
more than one session.

If you haven't found it on your own, turn the radio on. Press and hold the
CLOCK button for about 3 seconds and then you get the menu. Its easiest to
navigate with the remote, (especially the graphic equalizers) but you can
use the knobs as well. To exit, press and hold the CLOCK button again when
you are at the maine menu.

Now if you can figure out how to save these settings once you turn the
machine off and back on, I'd appreciate you posting how here as I'm too
stupid to figure that out.

-thanks!

Hold down the CLOCK button until the menu appears.

The rest of his posting will make sense once you see the contents.

One would think the term BASS BOOST is self-explanatory in a radio that
uses heavy equalization to get bass out of tiny speakers.

SPLIT mode re-routes the audio so that the HD comes out of one speaker and
the analog from the other.
