To change the FM reception mode

or noisy, press FM MODE so that the MONO

indicator appears on the display. Reception FM MODE improves.

To restore the stereo effect, press FM MODE again so that the MONO indicator goes off.

•The stereo effect is also restored when you tune in another station.

Presetting Stations

You can preset 10 FM and 10 AM stations.

In some cases, test frequencies have been already memorized for the tuner since the factory examined the tuner preset function before shipment. This is not a malfunction. You can preset the stations you want into memory by following the presetting method.

•There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 2 again.
