Explanation:

The tuner can be switched to any of four different receptionmodes:

NarrowbandSTEREO

MODE NAR

MODE ATTEN

MODE MONO

 

 

 

 

The tuner’s default setting is narrowband STEREO

('MODE NAR'). In this reception mode interference from adjacent transmitters is effectively suppressed, an d outstandingreproductionqualityisachievedevenu nder difficultreceptionconditions.
