Using the Tuner

Finding a Station

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 exact frequency of the station you want to listen to, see “Tuning Directly to a Station” on page 34. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the frequency for recall later—see “Memorizing Stations” on page 34 for more on how to do this.

Automatic tuning

To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and hold either the TUNE + or TUNE – buttons for about a second. The receiver will start searching for the next station, stopping when it has found one. Repeat this step to search for other stations.

To change the frequency one step at a time, press the TUNE + or TUNE – buttons.

High speed tuning

Press and hold the TUNE + or TUNE − buttons for high speed tuning, releasing the button once the desired frequency is reached.

MPX mode

If there is interference or noise during a FM radio broadcast, or the radio reception 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.

RF ATT mode

If the radio signal is too strong and/or the sound is distorting press the RF ATT button to attenuate (lower) the radio signal input and reduce the distortion (for FM stations only).
