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.

High speed tuning

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(/RETURN)
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 TUN button on the remote
control to select the tuner.
You can also use the MULTI JOG/INPUT
SELECTOR dial on the front panel.
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.
