Receiving Broadcasts
Before receiving broadcasts, make sure you have connected FM and AM antennas to the receiver (page 8).

If you cannot tune in a station and the entered numbers flash
Make sure you’ve entered the right frequency. If not, repeat steps 2 and 3. If the entered numbers still flash, the frequency is not used in your area.
4 If you’ve tuned in an AM station, adjust the direction of the AM loop antenna for optimum reception.
5 Repeat steps 1 to 4 to receive another station.
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.
