Listening to the radio (FM/AM (MW/SW))

1Press the BAND button repeatedly to select a band.

You can select FM AUTO, FM (FM mono), MW, and SW. The selected band appears in the display (“FM” appears in the display for both FM AUTO and FM (FM mono) modes).

3Release the TUNING/SELECT dial when the desired frequency has been reached.

The frequency is instantly received.

Notes on FM stereo reception

•Set this unit to FM AUTO to listen to an FM broadcast in stereo. The STEREO indicator lights in the display when an FM stereo broadcast is received.

•When FM stereo reception is intermittent, noisy, or when the signal is weak, pressing the BAND button to select FM (FM mono) may improve overall reception of the signal. If another station is tuned while in FM (FM mono) mode, this unit automatically switches to FM AUTO mode.

To change the MW channel space mode

When this unit is shipped, the channel space mode is set to MW–9 kHz (FM-50 kHz).

If the unit is to be used in North or South America, set it to MW–10 kHz (FM-100 kHz).

When switching to MW-10kHz

While pressing PRESET+, press the button to turn the unit on to switch to MW–10 kHz. “MW–STEP kHz 10” appears in the display. (This enables 10 kHz increment steps in MW frequencies and 100 kHz increment steps in FM frequencies.)

When switching to AM-9kHz

While pressing PRESET–, press the button to turn the unit on to switch to MW–9 kHz. “MW–STEP kHz 9” appears in the display. (This enables 9 kHz increment steps in MW frequencies and 50 kHz increment steps in FM frequencies.)

Improving radio reception

For FM and AM (higher frequency SW) stations, fully extend the telescopic antenna and adjust the direction of the antenna until the station you have tuned can be received clearly.

WORLDSPACE DIGITAL RECEIVER FR - DS100

For AM (MW) and AM (lower frequency SW) stations, the antenna is located within the unit, so it is necessary to rotate the unit itself to obtain optimal reception.

Note:

The built-in ferrite core antenna can pick up interference from television receivers in the area and thereby disturb AM (MW/SW) reception.

Changing the audio presentation of the broadcast

Use the SOUND button to adjust the quality or presentation of the sound of radio and WS BAND broadcasts. Press the SOUND button repeatedly to select one of the following effects.

BEAT: Enhances bass and drums for more dynamic music presentation.

POP: Enhances the frequencies common in pop music for better clarity in music presentation. CLEAR: Filters the sound to remove unwanted noise from the broadcast. This mode is suitable when listening to the news or other spoken word programming.

FLAT: Broadcast is received without any effect added.
