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. If you already know the
exact frequency of the station you want to listen to, see
"Tuning Directly to a Station" on page 39. Once you are
tuned to a station you can memorize the frequency for
recall later—see "Memorizing Stations" on page 39 for
more on how to do this.

Channel Step Setting (multi-
voltage model only)
The unit has been factory preset to the channel allocation
value for the area in which it is to be sold. If this value is
set incorrectly, the tunes in frequency may be wrong, or
sound may be distorted, resulting in an inability to
reproduce reception signals at their proper sound quality.
For this reason, be sure to confirm that the values are set
correctly before first using the unit.
FM 100 kHz, AM 10 kHz:
Set to this position for areas with an FM reception step of
100 kHz and AM 10 kHz.
FM 50 kHz, AM 9 kHz:
Set to this position, for areas with an FM reception step
of 50 kHz and AM 9 kHz.
When unsure about the channel allocation for your area,
consult your dealer for correct information.
