Receiver Operations

If an FM stereo program is distorted

The STEREO indicator flashes. Press FM MODE to change to monaural (MONO). You will not have the stereo effect but the distortion will be reduced. To return to the auto stereo mode, press this button again.

If you cannot tune in a station and the entered numbers are flashing

Make sure you’ve entered the right frequency. If not, press DIRECT and reenter the frequency you want. If the entered numbers still flash, the frequency is not used in your area.

To watch FM simulcast TV programs

Make sure that you tune in the simulcast program on both the TV (or VCR) and the receiver.

If you enter a frequency not covered by the tuning interval

The entered value is automatically rounded up or down to the closest covered value.

Tuning intervals for direct tuning are: FM: 50 kHz intervals

AM: 10 kHz intervals (to change to 9 kHz intervals, see page 23)

Receiving broadcasts by scanning stations (automatic tuning)

If you don’t know the frequency of the radio station you want, you can have the receiver scan all the receivable stations to locate the one you want.

1Press TUNER.

The last received station is tuned in.

2Press DISPLAY so that the frequency appears in the display.

3Press FM/AM to select FM or AM.

4Press TUNING/INDEX SELECT + or –.

Press the + button for a higher station number; press the – button for a lower one. When you tune past either end of the band, the receiver automatically jumps to the opposite end and continues scanning in the same direction. Every time a station is received, the receiver stops scanning. To continue scanning, press the button again.

If scanning stops too frequently (for FM band only)

Skip the stations with weak signals. Press LEVEL. “HIGH” appears in the display and the receiver scans only stations with strong signals.

Presetting Radio Stations

You’ll most likely want to preset the receiver with the radio stations you listen to often so that you don’t have to tune in the station every time. The receiver can store a total of 30 FM or AM stations. You can store the stations on preset numbers combining 3 characters (A, B and C) and numbers (0-9). For example, you can store a station as preset number A1, B6, or C9.
