To change the AM tuning interval (except for European models)
The AM tuning interval is
9kHz (or 10 kHz for some areas). To change the AM tuning interval, tune in any AM station first, then turn off the system. While holding TUNING +, press ?/1 on the unit. When you change the interval, all the AM preset stations are erased. To reset the interval, repeat the same procedure.
Note
You cannot change the AM tuning interval in Power Saving Mode.
Tips
•The preset stations are retained for about half a day even if you disconnect the mains lead or if a power failure occurs.
•To improve the reception, adjust the supplied antennas or connect an external antenna.
To improve tuner reception

•In Power Saving Mode, switching the CD power on or off using the CD power manage function is not possible.
Listening to the radio
You can listen to a radio station either by selecting a preset station, or by manually tuning in the station.
Listening to a preset station
— Preset Tuning
Preset radio stations in the tuner’s memory first (see “Presetting radio stations” on page 11).
1 Press TUNER/BAND repeatedly to select “FM” or “AM”.
2 Press TUNING MODE repeatedly until “PRESET” appears in the display.
3 Press +/– (or turn TUNING +/– on the unit) repeatedly to select the desired preset station.
Listening to non-preset radio station
— Manual Tuning
1 Press TUNER/BAND repeatedly to select “FM” or “AM”.
2 Press TUNING MODE repeatedly until “AUTO” and “PRESET” disappear from the display.
3 Press +/– (or turn TUNING +/– on the unit) repeatedly to tune in the desired station.
Tips
•To improve broadcast reception, adjust the supplied antennas, or connect a commercially available external antenna.
•When an FM stereo program has static noise, press FM MODE repeatedly until “MONO” appears. There will be no stereo effect, but the reception will improve.
•Press TUNING MODE repeatedly until “AUTO” appears in step 2 above, then press +/– (or turn TUNING +/– on the unit). The frequency indication changes and scanning stops when the system tunes in a station (Automatic Tuning).
•To record the radio programs, use manual recording (pages 16 and 18).
