Listening To The Radio; Improving Poor Fm Reception - Pioneer XV-HTD530 Operating Instructions Manual

04 Getting started

Listening to the radio

The tuner can receive both FM and AM
broadcasts, and lets you memorize your
favorite stations so you don't have to manually
tune in every time you want to listen.
1 If the system isn't already on, press
STANDBY/ON to switch on.
2 Press TUNER to switch to the tuner,
then press repeatedly to select the AM or
FM band.
The display indicates the tuner band and the
frequency.
• If you're using the front panel controls,
the TUNER button switches between FM,
AM and station presets (see page 43).

There are three tuning modes—manual, auto,
and high-speed:
• Manual tuning: Press TUNE +/–
repeatedly to change the displayed
frequency.
• Auto tuning: Press and hold TUNE +/–
until the frequency display starts to move,
then release. The tuner will stop on the
next station it finds. Repeat to search for
other stations.
• High-speed tuning: Press and hold
TUNE +/– until the frequency display
starts to move rapidly. Keep the button
held down until you reach the frequency
you want. If necessary, fine tune the
frequency using the manual tuning
method.
• You can use the
buttons on the front panel instead of the
TUNE +/– buttons.

Improving poor FM reception

If you're listening to an FM station in stereo
but the reception is weak, you can improve
the sound quality by switching to mono.
1 Press SYSTEM SETUP (SHIFT + HOME
MENU).
2 Use the (cursor left/right)
buttons to choose 'FM Mode?', then press
ENTER.
3 Use the (cursor up/down)
buttons to select 'Mono' or 'Auto', then
press ENTER.
Select Auto in step 3 to switch back to auto-
stereo mode (the stereo indicator lights when
receiving a stereo broadcast).
