2. Tuning in to the frequency.

On the front panel:

Pressing FM/AM TUNING 5 increases the frequency. Pressing FM/AM TUNING decreases the frequency.

On the remote control:

Pressing TUNING UP increases the frequency. Pressing TUNING DOWN decreases the frequency.

Notes:

When a station of sufficient signal strength is tuned in, the TUNED indicator lights up on the unit’s display.

When an FM stereo program is received, the STEREO indicator also lights up on the unit’s display.

When you hold the button (and release it) in step 2, the frequency keeps changing until a station is tuned in.

You can only select the same station of the same band (FM or AM) for both Zone 1 and Zone 2 operations. If you change the station for Zone 2, it also changes for Zone 1 (and vice versa: indications on the unit’s display also change). This also means that if you change the station for Zone 2 while recording a broadcasting program in Zone 1, recording in Zone 1 will be interrupted.
