Finding a Station

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the exact frequency of the station you want to listen to, see “Tuning Directly to a Station” on page 39. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the frequency for recall later—see “Memorizing Stations” on page 39 for more on how to do this.

Manual tuning

To change the frequency one step at a time, press the TUNE + or TUNE – buttons.

High speed tuning

Press and hold the TUNE + or TUNE − buttons for high speed tuning, releasing the button once the desired frequency is reached.

MPX mode

If there is interference or noise during a FM radio broadcast, or the radio reception is weak, press the MPX button to switch the receiver into mono reception mode. This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.

Channel Step Setting (multi- voltage model only)

The unit has been factory preset to the channel allocation value for the area in which it is to be sold. If this value is set incorrectly, the tunes in frequency may be wrong, or sound may be distorted, resulting in an inability to reproduce reception signals at their proper sound quality. For this reason, be sure to confirm that the values are set correctly before first using the unit.

FM 100 kHz, AM 10 kHz:

Set to this position for areas with an FM reception step of 100 kHz and AM 10 kHz.

FM 50 kHz, AM 9 kHz:

Set to this position, for areas with an FM reception step of 50 kHz and AM 9 kHz.

When unsure about the channel allocation for your area, consult your dealer for correct information.

To Change Channel Steps (multi- voltage model only)

With the power turned on, press the FM/AM button and the DVR/VCR button on front panel at the same time for five seconds to change the kHz setting.

•Each time the above operation is performed, the channel tuning step will alternate between 10K STEP, and 9K STEP.
