Direct Access Tuning rL
If you know the exact frequency of the de- sired station, you may tune it directly using the FREQUENCY DIRECT button and the NUMERIC buttons.
1.Press the FREQUENCY DIRECT button to change the NUMERIC buttons from station preset to direct access mode. The station frequency in the front panel display will change to a series of bars, representing the digits of a station frequency, with the first bar blinking.
2.Enter the first digit of the station frequency using the NUMERIC buttons. The digit will appear in the frequency display and the next bar will flash. Enter the remaining digits of the frequency. When all of the digits have been entered, the tuner will automatically tune to the displayed station frequency.
NOTE: On the USA version only, pressing 1 in the FM mode will enter 10 as the digit in the frequency display. On the European version, it is necessary to press 1 and then 0 to enter 10. For US FM stations, press only one digit following the decimal point as shown in the first example following. For European FM stations, press two digits after the decimal point as shown in the second example.
EXAMPLES:
•(USA FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5
•(Europe FM) 87.50MHz Press 8>7>5>0
•(USA AM) 1610kHz Press 1>6>1
•(Europe AM) 1611kHz Press 1>6>1>1
If no frequency is entered within 5 seconds, the tuner will cancel FREQUENCY DIRECT tuning mode and revert to the last previously tuned station.

Auto Tuning Button wH
The AUTO TUNING button toggles between the frequency search tuning feature and manual frequency tuning. When using the TUNING controls on the front panel or remote in AUTO TUNING mode, the tuner will begin automatically scanning up or down through the frequencies until the next receivable broadcast signal is detected. If this is not the desired sta- tion, use the TUNING controls again to find the next station. Weak stations will be skipped during auto tuning. If no receivable signal is detected, the tuner will revert to the previously tuned station. To toggle between FREQUENCY TUNING mode and AUTO TUNING mode, press the AUTO TUNING button. An AUTO indicator will appear in the display.
NOTE: AUTO TUNING mode is disen- gaged when the TUNE/PRESET button is set to PRESET tuning mode. See the following section.
TUNE/PRESET Button e
The TUNE/PRESET button toggles between FREQUENCY TUNING mode (the TUNING controls advance to the next station frequency) and PRESET TUNING mode (the TUNING controls advance to the next memorized station preset). To toggle between the two modes, press the TUNE/PRESET button. A PRESET indicator in the front panel DISPLAY will light when the PRESET mode is active.
NOTE: AUTO TUNING mode is disen- gaged when the TUNE/PRESET button is set to PRESET tuning mode.

PRESET SCAN Button F
This button activates a preset scanning feature. When you press the button, the tuner will automatically scan through all memorized station presets, playing each for five seconds before moving to the desired station preset, press the button again.
NOTE: If a PRESET station is currently tuned when the PRESET SCAN button is pressed, scanning will start with the next higher preset number and continue through all preset stations, stopping on the initial preset. If a PRESET station is not currently tuned when the button is pressed, scanning will start from PRESET 1 and continue to PRESET 30.
FM MONO 4I
The FM MONO button changes the FM mode from stereo reception to mono reception. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal and there is sufficient signal strength. A stereo indicator will light in the front panel display. In mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal.
NOTE: Switching to mono mode can be a useful way to improve the reception of weak or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required for clean mono reception than for stereo reception.
