Listening to the radio

The tuner can receive FM and AM broadcasts, and lets you save your favourite stations so you don't have to manually tune in every time you want to listen.

1Press FM/AM TUNER (remote)

If the system was in standby, the power comes on and the display shows the current band and frequency. Use the FM/AM TUNER button to switch between the AM and FM bands.

If you're using the front panel, turn the FUNCTION dial to select either AM or FM radio.

2Tune to a station.

There are four tuning modes: preset, step and auto and hi-speed tuning.

Preset: See page 25 for more on how to save and recall station presets.

Step tuning: Use 4and ¢to step through the frequency band in either direction.

Auto tuning: Press and hold 4or ¢until the frequency display starts to move (about 1 second), then release. The tuner will stop on the next station it finds. Repeat to search for other stations.

Hi-speed tuning: Press and hold 4or ¢until the frequency starts to change at high speed (after about 4 seconds). Keep the button pressed until you reach the frequency you want, then release. Use step tuning to fine-tune the station.

Improving stereo FM sound

If you're listening to an FM station in stereo but the reception is weak, you can improve the sound quality by switching to mono. Press MONO (remote only) to switch between mono and auto stereo (if the broadcast is stereo, you'll hear it in stereo). The mono indicator ()lights when listening in mono.

Listening to a connected component

If you connected another component, such as an MD player or turntable, to the AUX IN jacks on the rear panel, just switch to auxiliary and start playback of your connected component. Press AUX (remote) or turn the FUNCTION dial (front panel) to select auxiliary. (The AUX button (remote) will switch this unit on if it was in standby, but you'll have to take care of the connected component!)
