Use the manual tuning method if the tuning search does not stop at the desired station because the signal is weak.

When tuned in to a station, the “TUNED” indicator lights up and the frequency of the received station is shown on the front panel display. If an RDS station that offers the PS data service is being received, the station name is shown instead of the frequency on the front panel display.

If the signal from the station you want to select is weak, you must tune in to it manually.
