If preset tuning does not work

Press the –mor M+ button to search for the station (automatic tuning).

Scanning stops when the unit receives a station. Repeat until the desired station is received.

Tips

•If automatic tuning stops too frequently, turn on the Local Seek to limit seek to stations with stronger signals (see “Changing the sound and display settings” on page 21).

•If you know the frequency of the station you want to listen to, press and hold the –mor M+ button to locate the approximate frequency, then press the

–mor M+ button repeatedly to fine adjust to the desired frequency (manual tuning).

If FM stereo reception is poor

Select monaural reception mode

(see “Changing the sound and display settings” on page 21).

The sound improves, but becomes monaural (“ST” disappears).

Note

If interference occurs, this unit will automatically narrow the reception frequency to eliminate noise (IF Auto function). In such cases, some FM stereo broadcasts may become monaural while in the stereo reception mode.

Tips

•To always hear FM stereo broadcasts in stereo, you can change the IF Auto setting and widen the frequency signal reception (see “Changing the sound and display settings” on page 21). Note that some interference may occur in this setting.

•If FM broadcasts are difficult to hear, set DSO to off (page 22).
