If you cannot tune in a station and the entered numbers flash

Make sure you’ve entered the right frequency. If not, repeat steps 3 and 4.

If the entered numbers still flash, the frequency is not used in your area.

Tip

•If you do not remember the precise frequency, press TUNING + or TUNING – after entering the value close to the frequency you want. The receiver automatically tunes in the station you want. If the frequency seems to be higher than the entered value, press TUNING +, and if the frequency seems to be lower than the entered value, press TUNING –.

•If “STEREO” flashes in the display and the FM stereo reception is poor, press FM MODE to improve the sound. You will not be able to enjoy the stereo effect, but the sound will be less distorted.

Note

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

The tuning scale is: FM: 100 kHz AM: 10 kHz*

* The AM tuning scale can be changed (see page 48).
