FM/AM tuning

Overview

You can use two tuning modes to tune into the desired FM/AM station:

Frequency tuning mode

You can search or specify the frequency of the desired FM/AM station automatically or manually (see “FM/AM tuning operations” on this page).

Preset tuning mode

You can preset the desired FM/AM station in advance, and then recall the station by specifying the preset group and number (see “Recalling a preset station” on page 50).

Note

Orient the connected FM and AM antennas for the best reception.

Before performing the following operations, set the operation mode selector on the remote control to FSOURCE and then press 3TUNER.
