To change the AM tuning interval (except for the European model)

The AM tuning interval is factory-set to 9 kHz (10 kHz in some areas). To change the AM tuning interval, press and hold TUNER MEM on the unit for 4 seconds or more while the system is turned off. The AM tuning interval is toggled between 9 kHz and 10 kHz and the system is automatically turned on. When you change the interval, all the preset stations are erased. To reset the interval, repeat the same procedure.

Tip

The preset stations are retained for half a day even if you unplug the power cord or if a power failure occurs.

You can listen to a radio station either by selecting a preset station, or by manually tuning in the station.

Using the Radio Data

System (RDS)

(European model only)
What is the Radio Data System?

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. This tuner offers convenient RDS features like station name and program type display. RDS is available only on FM stations.*

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

*Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same types of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS system, check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.
