Using the tuner

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 below for more on how to do this.

High speed tuning

Press and hold TUNE / for high speed tuning. Release the button at the frequency you want.

Improving FM stereo sound

If the TUNE or ST indicators don’t light when tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press the BAND button to select FM MONO and set the receiver to the mono reception mode. This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.

Saving station presets

1Press TUNER to select the tuner.

2Use BAND to change to BAND (FM or AM), if necessary.

Each press switches the band between FM (stereo or mono) and AM.

3Tune to a station.

There are three ways to do this:

Automatic tuning

To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and hold TUNE / for about a second. The receiver will start searching for the next station, stopping when it has found one. Repeat to search for other stations.

Manual tuning

To change the frequency one step at a time, press TUNE /.

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it’s convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit can memorize up to 30 stations.1

Note

1• If the receiver is left disconnected from the AC power outlet for over a month, the station memories will be lost and will have to be reprogrammed.

• Stations are stored in stereo. When the station is stored in the FM MONO mode, it shows as ST when recalled.
