Using the tuner

Listening to the radio

The following steps show you how to tune in to
FM and AM radio broadcasts using the
automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning
functions. If you already know the frequency of
the station you want, see Tuning directly to a
station below. Once you are tuned to a station
you can memorize the frequency for recall
later—see Saving station presets on the next
page for more on how to do this.

Improving FM stereo sound

If the TUNED or STEREO indicators don't light
when tuning to an FM station because the
signal is weak, press the MPX button to switch
the receiver into mono reception mode. This
should improve the sound quality and allow
you to enjoy the broadcast.

Tuning directly to a station

Sometimes, you'll already know the frequency
of the station you want to listen to. In this case,
you can simply enter the frequency directly
using the number buttons on the remote
control.
1 Press the TUNER button to select the
tuner.
2 Use the BAND button to change the band
(FM or AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and
AM.
3 Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
4 Use the number buttons to enter the
frequency of the radio station.
For example, to tune to 106.00 (FM), press 1, 0,
6, 0, 0.
If you make a mistake halfway through, press
D.ACCESS twice to cancel the frequency and
start over.
