•Tap the Tune/Track arrow button repeatedly to tune one frequency at a time.

About FM Reception

FM signals are like TV signals. One antenna orientation may be best for one station but not for another. The straight wire antenna supplied with your MicroSystem CD is conveniently small. It should be extended to its full length, placed as far away from the power cord as possible, and oriented for best reception. If reception is weak, try changing the position of the wire antenna. Be sure not to run it along the power cord, as this will substantially decrease the signal reception.

If reception is still weak, you can improve it by connecting an external antenna. Your authorized Boston dealer or Boston’s Technical Support Department can suggest solutions. In addition, many Cable TV systems provide an FM feed that can be connected to the MicroSystem CD via its standard Type-F antenna connection. See page 16.

About AM Reception

MicroSystem CD has a built-in AM antenna. If reception is weak, try rotating the system clockwise and counterclockwise to improve signal strength. If this does not solve the problem, you can improve AM reception by connecting an external AM antenna. See page 17.
