Listening to Stereo FM Radio Stations

When the DTR-8.4 is properly tuned to a radio station,

the “ TUNED ” indicators appear on the display. When the DTR-8.4 is properly tuned to a stereo FM radio station, the “FM STEREO” indicator appears as well.

If the signal from a stereo FM station is weak, it may be impossible to achieve good reception. If this happens, press the DTR-8.4’s [FM Mode] button to listen to the station in mono (the “AUTO” and “FM STEREO” indi- cators go off).

Specifying Radio Stations by Frequency

To select a radio station by entering its frequency, press the remote controller’s [Direct Tuning] button, and then use the number buttons to enter the frequency.

To locate an FM station automatically, press and hold the Tuning Up or Down [ ]/[ ] button for more than 1/2 a second. The DTR-8.4 scans the FM band up or down, depending on which button you pressed, stopping when a stereo FM station is found.

Notes:

The tuner frequency changes in 0.1 MHz steps for FM and 10 kHz steps for AM (0.05 MHz and 9 kHz respectively on some models).

Presetting Radio Stations

You can store up to 40 AM and FM radio stations as pre- sets.
