Using Preset Tuning
Some countries space AM stations 9 kHz apart, and other countries use 10 kHz spacing. Select the appropriate interval spacing setting to receive the AM broadcasting in your area. 9 kHz interval spacing is the initial setting.
•You can change the AM tuner interval spacing only when the unit is in standby mode.
To select the 10 kHz interval:
Hold down FM/AM TUNING 5 and press STANDBY/ON 
. “10k STEP” appears on the display. Now the 10 kHz interval is selected.
To change back to the 9 kHz interval:
Hold down FM/AM TUNING ∞ and press STANDBY/ON 
. “9k STEP” appears on the display. Now the 9 kHz interval is selected.
Note:
When you change the AM tuner interval spacing, stored preset stations are erased. In this case, restore stations.
