Using the tuner

Listening to the radio

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 Saving station presets below for more on
how to do this.

Press and hold TUNE / for high speed
tuning. Release the button at the frequency

Improving FM stereo sound

If the TUNE or ST indicators don't light when
tuning to an FM station because the signal is
weak, press the BAND button to select FM
MONO and set the receiver to the mono
reception mode. This should improve the
sound quality and allow you to enjoy the
broadcast.

VOLUME
If you often listen to a particular radio station,
it's convenient to have the receiver store the
frequency for easy recall whenever you want to
listen to that station. This saves the effort of
manually tuning in each time. This unit can
memorize up to 30 stations. When saving an
FM frequency.
