Tips:

•When the FM station broadcasts Stereo sound is found, ST is displayed.

•When you manually tune into a weak FM station, press AUDIO on remote control to switch from Stereo to Mono mode. This will reduce the background noise.

•If there is any interference, change the antenna’s position until ideal sound reception is obtained. TV and other electronic devices could be the cause of interference, so try to position the antenna away from them.

•A weak signal can affect the “Automatic preset programming” function’s efficiency. Adjust the antenna for better reception and a more efficient search.
