FM Radio Mode:
On the remote control, use the TUN+ or >>| to scan the FM frequencies up the dial or TUN- or |<< to scan the
FM frequencies down the dial. Use |<< or >>| on the front panel to tune into available FM radio frequencies.
Press any of these buttons for one second to advance the dial one step of 0.05MHz in either direction. Press
any of these buttons for two seconds for the tuner to seek for the next FM signal (in the direction chosen) that
is strong enough to auto detect. Once a solid signal has been found, the tuning will stop seeking and will start
playing the audio that is being broadcast by a station on that frequency.
The AUTO button on the remote control does exactly the same thing as the other buttons described above.
Auto scanning will take place in the direction along the dial that was previous used, depending on which arrow
button was pressed.
Weak FM stations might have improved reception if the Audio Setting is changed from stereo to 'Forced
Mono'. However, some low power FM stations are already broadcasting in mono only. These mono stations
cannot be forced into stereo reception. They will always be mono.
While and FM radio station is playing, the screen will display the frequency, the station ID, and any other RDS
information that might be available.
FM RDS information that is available by pressing INFO:
• RT: Radio Text - This is almost equivalent to DLS in a DAB+ broadcast. If there is no data available, screen
will show 'No Radiotext';
• PTY: Program Type (i.e. Station format or music genre). If there is no data available, screen will show 'No
PTY';
• PS: Program Service = Station ID or Frequency;
• Mode: Stereo or Mono;
• CT: Clock Time - Displayed as 12 hour or 24 hour format (default setting).
• DT: Date - Displayed as Day:Month:Year (default setting).
Note: If the radio station in question has not activated and/or is not broadcasting DLS or RDS data, then the
LCD will show nothing, no scrolling text etc. or it may just show the frequency or an error 'N/A' (Not
Available) message.
