Note: When a station is broadcasting in
stereo, but has a weak signal level, the
reproduction may not be acceptable. In
this case, select the Auto Off mode, as
monaural reception is less susceptible to
noise in weak reception areas.
Tuner Presets
There are thirty preset positions that may
be used to store your favorite stations in
any order. These may be used to memo-
rize the station's frequency, reception
mode and the station's name. Stations
may be preset automatically or manually,
and then recalled in a variety of ways.
