FM STEREO

The HT-R510 searches the FM band in 0.1 MHz intervals.

If you selected the AM band:

The frequency stops changing when you release the TUN- ING button. The HT-R510 doesn’t automatically search for AM stations. You must use the TUNING [] [ ] buttons. Press repeatedly to change the frequency one interval at a time, or press and hold to quickly change the frequency. When you’re tuned into a station, the TUNED indicator appears.

The HT-R510 steps through the AM band in 10 kHz inter- vals.

	TUNING [ ] [ ] buttons.

TUNING

If you’ve selected the FM band, be careful that you don’t press either button for more than half a second, otherwise the HT-R510 will start searching for the next station.

Tuning into weak FM stations

If the signal strength of the station you are trying to tune into is poor, you may not be able to tune into that station, or recep- tion may be noisy. In this case, press the [FM MODE] button to select mono mode and disable auto-tuning (the AUTO and FM STEREO indicators will go off), and try tuning manu- ally.
