LISTENING TO RADIO BROADCASTS

Auto tuning

1. Select the desired band.

Each time this button is pressed, the band changes as follows :

FM STEREO FM MONO AM XM

When FM stereo broadcasts are poor because of weak broadcast signals, select the FM mono mode ("STEREO" goes off) to reduce the noise, then FM broadcasts are reproduced in monaural sound.

To listen to XM Satellite Radio, select XM mode. (For details, refer to "XM Satellite Radio (only for North America)" on page 42.)

2. Press the TUNING UP(+)/DOWN(-) buttons for more than 0.5 second.

The tuner will now search until a station of sufficient strength has been found. The display shows the tuned frequency and "TUNED".

If the station found is not the desired one, simply repeat this operation.

Weak stations are skipped during auto tuning.

Manual tuning

Manual tuning is useful when you already know the frequency of the desired station.

After selecting the desired band, press the TUNING UP(+)/DOWN(-) buttons repeatedly until the right frequency has been reached.

Auto presetting

Auto presetting function automatically searches for FM stations only and store them in the memory.

While listening to FM or AM radio broadcasts, press and hold down the MEMORY/ENTER button for more than 2 seconds.

• Then "AUTO MEMORY" flickers and this receiver starts auto presetting.

Up to 30 FM stations can be stored.

Notes:

FM stations of weak strength cannot be memorized.

To memorize AM stations or weak stations, preform "Manual presetting" procedure with using "Manual tuning" operation.
