To Change the FM Reception Mode
When you are tuned into an FM stereo broadcast, the “ST.” indicator lights up and you can hear stereo effects.
If an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy, you can select Monaural mode. Reception improves, but you lose stereo effect.
FM AUTO mode is also useful to suppress static noise be- tween stations.
To enter Monaural mode while receiving an FM broadcast, press the FM/PLAY MODE button on the Re- mote Control until “FM MONO” appears on the display. Then, the “MONO” indicator lights up.
Each time you press the FM/PLAY MODE button, the display alternates between “FM AUTO” and “FM MONO”.
