Finding a station

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 Memorizing station presets on page 46 for
more on how to do this.

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.
• Press MONO on the remote.
The MONO indicator lights when the tuner is
in mono reception mode.
Press again to switch back to auto-stereo
mode (the STEREO indicator lights when
receiving a stereo broadcast).
• To reduce noise while recording an AM
broadcast, see Improving AM tape
recordings on page 50.
