Note

If interference occurs, this unit will automatically narrow the reception frequency to eliminate noise (IF Auto function). In such cases, some FM stereo broadcasts may become monaural while in the stereo reception mode.

Tips

•To always hear FM stereo broadcasts in stereo, you can change the IF Auto setting and widen the frequency signal reception (see “Changing the sound and display settings” on page 25). Note that some interference may occur in this setting.

•If FM broadcasts are difficult to hear, set “DSO” to “OFF” (page 26).
