Improving poor FM reception

If you’re listening to an FM station in stereo but the reception is weak, you can improve the sound quality by switching to mono.

Select Auto in step 3 to switch back to auto- stereo mode (the stereo indicator lights when receiving a stereo broadcast).

Memorizing stations

You can save up to 30 station presets so that you always have easy access to your favorite stations without having to tune in manually each time.

1Tune to an AM or FM radio station. For the FM band, select mono or auto-stereo reception as necessary. This setting is saved along with the preset.

2Press SYSTEM SETUP (SHIFT + HOME MENU).

3 Use the (cursor left/right) buttons to choose ‘St. Memory?’ then press ENTER.

4 Use the (cursor up/down) buttons to select the station preset you want.

There are 30 preset locations; each can store one station preset.

5Press ENTER to save the station preset.

•If the system is unplugged from the power supply completely, saved stations will remain for several days, after which you’ll have to save them again.
