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. If you already know the frequency of the station you want, see Tuning directly to a station below. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the frequency for recall

1Press the TUNER button to select the tuner.
2Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM 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 /.
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 TUNED or STEREO indicators don’t light when tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press the MPX button to switch the receiver into mono reception mode. This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.

Tuning directly to a station
Sometimes, you’ll already know the frequency of the station you want to listen to. In this case, you can simply enter the frequency directly using the number buttons on the remote control.
1Press the TUNER button to select the tuner.
2Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
3Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
4Use the number buttons to enter the frequency of the radio station.
For example, to tune to 106.00 (FM), press 1, 0, 6, 0, 0.
If you make a mistake halfway through, press D.ACCESS twice to cancel the frequency and start over.
Saving station presets
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 receiver can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three banks, or classes (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When saving an FM frequency, the MPX setting (see page 32) is also stored.
