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 below. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the frequency for recall later—see Memorizing station presets on page 25 for more on how to do this.

1Press the FM/AM button on the remote control to put it in tuner mode.

2Press BAND (or FM/AM) to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary.

Each press switches the band between FM and AM.

3Tune to a station using the TUNE +/– buttons.

Automatic tuning

To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and hold either the 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.

Manual tuning

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

High speed tuning

Press and hold the 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 stereo FM radio broadcast (the STEREO indicator is lit), or the radio reception is weak, press MPX (remote control only) to switch the receiver into mono reception mode (the MONO indicator lights). This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.

RF attenuator 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).

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.

2Press BAND (or FM/AM) 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 while inputting the frequency, press the D.ACCESS button twice to cancel the frequency and start again.

Memorizing 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. The receiver can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When memorizing FM frequencies, the receiver also stores the
