Basic Operation
Tuning the Radio
Note: For weak signals, we recommned manual tuning.
Your receiver offers three types of electronic tuning — manual, automatic, and memory.
Manual and Automatic Tuning
Follow these steps to manualy 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 or
once to manually select the next higher or lower fre- quency. Or, press and hold down TUNING
or
to rapidly change freqe- uncies. Release the button to stop.
To automatically search for the next higher or lower station, release TUN- ING as soon as the display starts to change. The receiver seaches up or down the band to the next strong station.
Notes:
•STEREO appears on the display for FM stereo broadcasts. 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 16.
•If you press TUNING at the top of the frequency range or TUNING
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 10 AM or FM frequencies in any of the three classes — up to 30 frequencies total.
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 17). This setting is stored in the memory.
3.Press MEMORY. MEMORY lights, and
4.While MEMORY is on the display, press CLASS until the class number you want or
until the station number you want appears on the display. The station number lights steadily, indicating the receiver memorized the frequency.
Repeat these steps to store additional frequencies.
To tune to a stored frequency, press CLASS so the desired class number appears on the display, then press STATION /
to select the station.
