Tips
• You can switch from another source to the tuner
just by pressing BAND (Automatic Source
Selection).
• To improve broadcast reception, reorient or move
the supplied antennas near a window or outdoors.
If broadcast reception does not improve, we
recommend using an optional outdoor antenna
(see page 79).
• When an FM stereo program is noisy, press
STEREO/MONO (or press MONO/STEREO on
the remote) so that "MONO" appears. There will
be no stereo effect, but the reception will improve.
Press the button again to restore the stereo effect.
