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. Once you are tuned to a station you
can memorize the frequency for recall later—
see Saving station presets on page 53 for more
on how to do this.

Improving FM stereo sound

If the / TUNED or
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.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station,
it's convenient to have the receiver store the
frequency for easy recall whenever you want to
listen to that station. This saves the effort of
manually tuning in each time. This unit can
memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three
banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations
each. When saving an FM frequency, the MPX
setting (see Improving FM stereo sound above)
is also stored. Use the front panel controls to
store station presets.
