When not using either Rec Out or Zone 2, press that button and then press the Off button to turn off the signal.

Press these buttons to scroll through the listening modes and set a new one for the input source you are currently listening to. For each different input signal, different listening modes are possible. See page 38 for a detailed explanation of the different listening modes.

Use these buttons to change the tuner frequency. The tuner frequency is displayed in the front display and it can be changed in 50 kHz increments for FM and 10 kHz increments for AM. When

When FM is selected, you can hold down one of the tuning buttons and then release it to activate the auto-search feature. It will search for a station in the direction of the button you pressed and stop when it tunes into one.

When AM or FM is selected as the input source, press one of these buttons to jump to a radio station that you preset using the MEMORY button. Pressing the right button moves from the most recently preset station to older ones, and pressing the left button moves in the reverse order.

FM Mode

If you are listening to an FM radio station in stereo and the sound cuts out or there is a great deal of noise, then press this button. The “MONO” display will appear and the output will change to mono. Though you will not hear the audio in stereo, this may stop the sound from cutting out and reduce excess noise.
