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.

Tips

•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 change to monaural (MONO). You will not be able to enjoy the stereo effect, but the sound will be less distorted. To return to stereo mode, press FM MODE again.

The tuning scale differs depending on the area code as shown in the following table. For details on area codes, see page 4.
