Tips
• If you do not remember the precise frequency, press
TUNING + or TUNING – after entering the value
close to the frequency you want. The receiver
automatically tunes in the station you want. If the
frequency seems to be higher than the entered value,
press TUNING +, and if the frequency seems to be
lower than the entered value, press TUNING –.
• If "STEREO" flashes in the display and the FM
stereo reception is poor, press FM MODE to change
to monaural (MONO). You will not be able to enjoy
the stereo effect, but the sound will be less distorted.
To return to stereo mode, press FM MODE again.
The tuning scale is:
FM: 50 kHz
AM: 9 kHz
