CHANNEL SPACE setting

(Except for the U.S.A., Canada, U.K. Europe and Australia)

The space between radio channels has been set to the one that prevails in the area to which the system is shipped. However, if the current channel space setting does not match the setting in the area where the system is to be used, for instance when you move from area 1 or area 2 shown in the following table or vice versa, proper reception of AM/FM (SW/MW/FM) broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case, change the channel space setting in accordance with your area by referring to the following table.

1Select the TUNER input.

2While holding the SELECT key depressed, turn the SOUND CONTROL jog dial to select the system mode.
