Repeat Steps 3, 4 and 5.
If the STEREO indicator remains off
Press FM MODE even when an FM stereo broadcast is received.

If you cannot tune in a station and the entered numbers are flashing
Make sure you’ve entered the right frequency. If not, reenter the frequency you want.
If the entered numbers still flash, the frequency is not used in your area.
To watch FM simulcast TV programs
Make sure that you tune in the simulcast program on both the TV (or VCR) and the receiver.
If you enter a frequency not covered by the tuning interval
The entered value is automatically rounded up or down to the closest covered value.
Tuning intervals for direct tuning are: FM: 50 kHz intervals
AM: 10 kHz intervals (to change to 9 kHz intervals, see page 27)

Presetting Radio Stations
You’ll most likely want to preset the receiver with the radio stations you listen to often so that you don’t have to tune in the station every time. The receiver can store a total of 30 FM or AM stations. You can store the stations on preset numbers combining 3 characters (A, B and C) and numbers
