Tips

To enjoy FM stereo reception, plug the stereo headphones.

Set ST • MONO to ST or MONO to select stereo or monaural reception as necessary.

When listening to news, set TONE to NEWS for optimum results. Vocal output will be sharper and clearer. When listening to music, set to MUSIC for optimum results.

During MW reception at nighttime when radio wave intensity is dramatically stronger, or when interference is prevalent, scanning may tend to tune in to almost every null broadcast. Set SENS to LOCAL so that the null broadcast of weaker radio wave intensity is skipped.

Under normal conditions, set to DX.

Note

When reception does not improve, connect an external antenna (see page 20).
