Basic Operation
Tuning the Radio
Note: For weak signals, we recommend manual tuning.
Your receiver has four types of electronic tuning — manual, automatic, direct access, and memory.
Manual and Automatic Tuning
Follow these steps to manually or automatically tune to stations.
Hint: If none of the tuning buttons on the remote control operate, press TUNER first.
1.Press FM/AM on the front panel (or repeatedly press FUNC on the remote control) until the band name and frequency appears on the display to select the tuner. Then press FM/AM (ENTER on the remote control) again to select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency last selected in that band.
If A, B, or C and a single digit number appear to the left of the sta- tion frequency, press TUNING SELECT on the front panel until the band name (AM or FM) appears. You do not need to press TUNING SE- LECT if you are tuning with the remote control.
2.To manually select the next lower or higher frequency, press 
TUNING 
(– TUNE + on the remote control) once to manually select the next lower or higher frequency. Or, hold down the button to rapidly change frequencies, and release it.
To automatically search for the next lower or higher station, hold down 
TUNING 
(– TUNE + on the remote control) until the display starts to change, then release it. The receiver searches down or up the band to the next strong station.
Notes:
•TUNED appears when you receive a strong signal.
•If you press TUNING 
at the top of the frequency range or TUN- ING 
at the bottom of the frequency range, the display returns to the other end of the range.
Direct Access Tuning (Remote Control Only)
Follow these steps to directly enter a frequency.
1.Repeatedly press FUNC to select the tuner. Then press ENTER to select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the fre- quency last selected in that band.
2. Press MENU. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ appears on the display with the first _ _ flashing.
3. Enter the desired frequency using the number buttons.
Notes:
•If you enter an invalid frequency (for example, entering 828), the receiver tunes to the closest valid frequency (830 kHz).
•If you do not press a key within 5 seconds, the receiver exits direct access tuning. Start over at Step 2.
