USING THE RADIO
Not only does the digital tuner help you tune in radio stations more easily, it also lets you preset as many as five AM and five FM radio stations for easy access.
TUNING IN RADIO STATIONS
After you choose the radio feature by pressing RADIO on the Function Control, you can do the following:
•Press the BAND button to change the radio band to AM or FM.
•Press the TUNING buttons to change the radio station.
•To turn on the Seek feature, which locates the next station, press and quickly release the SEEK/SCAN button.
•To turn on the Scan feature which searches for stations, press and momentarily hold the SEEK/SCAN button before releasing it. When a station is found, the Scan feature allows you to listen for a few seconds and then moves to the next station. When you find a station you like, press the SEEK/SCAN button again to choose that station.
•Press the FM/MONO button to listen to FM stations in either mono or stereo (STEREO appears in the display when listening to FM stereo).
Note that AM stations are broadcast in mono only and that the FM radio station must be transmitting in stereo for you to receive it in stereo.

Playing Hide and Seek
Sometimes the Seek and Scan features might not locate an available station because the signal is not strong enough. If you know the frequency of the station you’re looking for, you might want to use the TUNING buttons instead.
STORING RADIO STATIONS IN MEMORY
Preset up to five AM and five FM stations for easy access.
1.Choose the radio band and station.
2.Press M (the Memory Preset button). The PRESET indicator and the station frequency blink in the display.
3.Press one of the five TUNER PRESETS buttons to store the radio station frequency in that preset location.
RECALLING PRESET STATIONS

2.Press the appropriate TUNER PRESETS button (the PRESET number appears in the display).
Weak Reception?
If the reception of an FM station transmitting in stereo is weak, the STEREO indicator might fade in and out. Adjusting the FM whip antenna can help. If not, changing from FM Stereo to FM Mono might improve reception (just remember that you’ll no longer be listening in stereo).
