FM/AM tuning
There are 3 tuning methods: automatic, manual and direct frequency. Automatic tuning is effective when station signals are strong and there is no interference. If the signal from the station you want to select is weak, tune into it manually. You can also tune into the desired station by entering the frequency. You can use the automatic and manual preset tuning features to store up to 40 stations (A1 to E8: 8 preset station numbers in each of the 5 preset station groups). Furthermore, you can recall any preset stations and exchange the assignment of two preset stations with each other.
(U.S.A. model only) This unit is equipped with an HD Radio reception feature. The operations of the HD Radio tuning are same as the conventional FM/AM tuning. For details about the specific features of the HD Radio, refer to “Using HD Radio™ features (U.S.A. model only)” on pages 72 to 73.
