If the system is forced to go into monaural mode by pressing FM MODE, “MONO” appears in the display.

If “STEREO” does not appear at all when an FM broadcast is received normally, press FM MODE to turn on the “STEREO” indication. If the FM reception is weak, “STEREO” will not light up.

You can preset your favorite FM or AM stations to the receiver. This enables you to tune in the stations directly. Up to 30 FM or AM stations can be preset, and the receiver will scan all of the stations you have preset.
Before tuning in preset stations, be sure to preset them using the steps in “Presetting radio stations”.
