Basic Operation

Tuning the Radio

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.

When you select the AM or FM radio band, the receiver tunes to and dis- plays the frequency last selected in that band.

2.Press SELECT so FREQ appears on the JOG MODE display.

3.To manually tune the station, turn the multi-jog control or repeatedly press TUNING + or on the remote control to tune the desired station.

To automatically tune to the next higher or lower station, set AUDIO/VCR on the remote control to AUDIO. Then press and hold TUNING + or on the remote control until the stations start to change. Then release the but- ton.

Notes:

TUNED appears on the display when you tune to a strong station.

STEREO appears on the display when FM broadcasts are received in stereo and the receiver is not set to FM mono.

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 in the receiver’s memory.

Follow these steps to store a station in a memory location.

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 appears for 5 seconds.

4.While MEMORY is on the display, turn the multi-jog control to select the memory number you want, then press ENTER to store the frequency in memory.

The frequency and memory number flash, then light steadily.

To tune to a stored frequency, press SELECT so ST appears on the JOG MODE display, then turn the multi-jog control. You can use STATION –/+on the remote control to move to the next lower or higher memory. See “Using the Remote Control” on Page 22.
