3 Getting Started
Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM radio broadcasts using the
automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning functions. Once you are tuned to a
station you can memorize the frequency for recall later—see Saving station presets on
page 30 for more on how to do this.
1 Press TUN.
Alternatively, press FUNCTION on the front panel to select Tuner.
2 Press BAND to select the FM or AM band.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
3 Tune to a station.
There are three ways to do this:
• Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and hold either the FQ+ or
FQ – button for about a second. The system will start searching for the next station,
stopping when it has found one. Repeat this step to search for other stations.
• Manual tuning
To change the frequency one step at a time, press the FQ+ / FQ– buttons.
• High speed tuning
Press and hold the FQ+ or FQ– button for high speed tuning, releasing the button
once you reach the frequency you want.
Improving FM stereo sound
If you’re listening to a stereo FM broadcast, but find that there is a lot of noise because
of a weak signal, try switching to mono.
• Press MONO to switch between mono and stereo.
When listening in mono, the indicator lights in the display.
