Tuning the Radio

Note: For weak signals, we recommend manual tuning.

Your receiver offers three types of electronic tuning— manual, automatic, and memory.

Manual and Automatic Tuning

Follow these steps to manually or automatically tune to the stations.

1.Press TUNER. Then press FM/AM to select the desired band.

The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency last selected in that band.

2.Press TUNING Tuning the Radio or Manual and Automatic Tuning once to move to the next higher or lower frequency. Or, press and hold down TUNING Memory Tuning or Manual background to rapidly change frequencies. Release the button to stop.

To search for the next higher or lower FM station, release TUNING Manual background or Manual background as soon as the frequency starts to change. The receiver searches up or down the FM band until it finds a strong station.

Notes:

STEREO appears on the display when FM broadcasts are received in stereo and the receiver is not set to FM mono.TUNED appears on the display when you tune to a strong station. To find a weak FM station, press FM MONO until MONO appears. See “Using FM Mono” on Page 15.

If you press TUNING Manual background at the top of the frequency range or TUNING Manual background at the bottom of the frequency range, the display returns to the other end of the range.

Notes:

If you store a frequency in a memory that already contains a frequency, you replace the previous frequency.

If your receiver is disconnected from AC power for several days, it loses all the stored frequencies.

Memory Tuning

Memory tuning lets you instantly tune to a stored frequency. You can store up to 30 AM or FM frequencies (10 frequencies in each of three classes) in the receiver’s memory.

Follow these steps to store a station.

1.Press TUNER. Then press FM/AM to select the desired band.

2.Using either manual or automatic tuning, select the frequency you want to store.

If desired, press FM MONO for FM monaural sound (see “Using FM Mono” on Page 16). This setting is stored in the memory.

3.Press MEMORY. MEMORY appears for 5 seconds.

4.While MEMORY is on the display, press CLASS until the class number you want (1-3) appears on the display. Then press STATION Manual background or Manual background until the station number you want appears on the display.

Repeat these steps to store additional frequencies. Do not enter a frequency while the display flashes.

To tune to a stored frequency, press CLASS so the desired class number appears on the display, then press STATION Manual background / Manual background to select the station.
