To listen to an FM stereo broadcast

FM stereo

Set to this position by pressing the TUNER BAND button when listening to or recording an FM broadcast. If an FM stereo broadcast is received, the “STEREO” indicator is lit in the display window, and the FM broadcast can be heard in stereo.

FM mono

Set to this position by pressing the TUNER BAND button if FM stereo reception is noisy. The “MONO” indicator is lit and the sound becomes monaural, but the reception will be improved.

When another station is tuned to in this mode, the “MONO” indicator goes off and the unit returns to FM stereo automatically.

Note:

AM broadcasts are monaural.

Seek tuning (auto tuning)

Press the 4or ¢button for one second or more. The unit enters the seek tuning mode to tune in the nearest station automatically, so the broadcast can be heard. In AM operation, the frequency moves continuously from the MW to the LW band and vice versa.

Manual tuning

Each time the 4 or ¢ button is pressed, the unit steps through the current frequency band. Tuning is done in steps of 50 kHz for FM and 9 kHz for AM (MW/LW). In AM operation, the tuned frequency moves continuously from the MW (522-1,629 kHz) to the LW (144-288 kHz) band and vice versa.

Notes:

ÖWhen seek tuning to the required station is not possible because the broadcast signal is too weak, press the 4or ¢button momentarily to perform manual tuning.

ÖWhen the power is set to STANDBY, or another mode (TAPE or CD) is selected, the last tuned frequency is stored in memory. When the power is switched on again and TUNER BAND button is pressed, the same station will be tuned to.

Auto preset tuning

This function scans the current band, detecting frequencies used to broadcast signals, and stores the first 30 FM frequencies and 15 AM (MW/LW) frequencies in memory automatically.

(Using the main unit)

Press the PRESET TUNING button for more than 2 seconds.

(Using the remote control unit) Press the AUTO PRESET button.

The frequencies of stations’ broadcasting signals are stored in memory automatically in the order of increasing frequency. (30 stations in FM band and 15 stations in AM (MW/LW) band.)
