Other functions to improve FM reception signal quality

MODE button

Normally, press this button so that the “AUTO ST” indicator illuminates. When receiving an FM stereo broadcast in this mode, it is received in stereo automatically.

When receiving a weak FM broadcast, press this button so that the “AUTO ST” indicator goes out. It is received in monaural, however, you can obtain higher signal quality.

MODE

IF MODE button

This button is used to vary the bandpass of the FM intermediate frequency (IF) between WIDE and NARROW.

If the reception signal is strong, press this button so that the “WIDE” indicator illuminates (to obtain distortion-free sound). When the reception signal is weak, or when the desired station is interfered with by adjacent stations, press this button so that the “NARROW” indicator illuminates (to increase the selectivity).

BLEND button

If a noisy FM stereo broadcast is received, press this button so that the “BLEND” indicator illuminates. The left and right channels are blended accordingly to reduce the noise and improve the reception signal quality. When the MODE button is set to the monaural mode (so that the “AUTO ST” indicator does not illuminate), the BLEND function will not operate even if the BLEND indicator illuminates.
