MPX mode

If there is interference or noise during a stereo FM radio broadcast (the STEREO indicator is lit), or the radio reception is weak, press MPX on the tuner touch screen menu to switch the receiver into mono reception mode (the MONO indicator lights). This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.

Memorizing station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. The receiver can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When memorizing FM frequencies, the receiver also stores the MPX setting (see MPX mode above).
