Tuning to a Radio Station

You can tune to a station using the man- ual, search, direct access, preset, or scan tuning methods.

Up-Down Manual

To manually tune to a frequency, repeatedly press < or > until the dis- play shows the desired frequency.

Search

To let the receiver find a station, press and hold < or > for more than 2 seconds. The tuner rapidly scans all frequencies. When you release the button, the receiver automati- cally tunes to the next strong sta- tion.

Note: As the receiver rapidly scans for a station, you will be able to hear the sounds broadcast from the passing frequencies.

Direct Access

To tune directly to a station’s fre- quency, press ENTER. ENTRY flashes for about 10 seconds. While it is flashing, press the number but- tons to select the desired station’s frequency. Then press ENTER again.

Notes:

• Your receiver automatically rounds the entered frequency to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you try to enter a fre- quency of 1453 in AM, your receiver accepts it as 1450. (See “Setting the AM/FM Tuning Incre- ment” on Page 8.)

If you make a mistake in entering a frequency, EEEE flashes on the display. Enter the frequency again.

Preset

To tune directly to a station that is entered into memory, simply press the desired preset number (09).

Note: You must first store the desired stations into memory. (See “Storing Station Frequencies” on Page 12.)

Scan

To scan the preset memory loca- tions, press SCAN. The receiver stops at each station for about 5 seconds. To end scanning, press SCAN again, or press a preset sta- tion memory button.

Note: If no frequency is stored in a memory channel or no signal is received at a memory channel, the receiver stops at the memory chan- nel for 1 second and then moves to the next memory channel.
