SPECIAL TUNING

CONTROLS

STEREO/MONO-FM

You can receive FM stereo by con- necting stereo headphones to the

jack and setting STEREO/ MONO-FM on the right side of the receiver to STE- REO.

To improve reception for weak FM ste- reo stations, set STEREO/MONO-FMto MONO-FM. The sound is no longer in stereo, but the reception should im- prove.

WIDE/NARR.-AM

A strong station that broadcasts close to a frequency you tuned might inter- fere with that frequency. To reduce in- terference from adjacent stations in the SW, MW, or LW bands, set WIDE/ NARR.-AMon the right side of the re- ceiver to NARR.-AM. Or, if there is no interference, set it to WIDE for better sound.
