TUNING THE RADIO

automatic, direct, and memory.
Note: To listen to stations with weak signals, we recommend manual
tuning.

Manual and Automatic Tuning

To automatically search for the next higher or lower frequency with a
strong signal, briefly hold down
receiver searches up or down the band, stopping on the next
frequency with a strong signal.
Notes:
• TUNED appears when the received signal is strong.
• STEREO appears when the received FM broadcasts are in
stereo.
• If you press
TUNING UP
at the bottom of the frequency range, the
TUNING DOWN

Memory Tuning

Memory tuning lets you instantly tune to a stored frequency. You can
store up to 30 AM and 30 FM frequencies in the receiver's memory.
The receiver automatically stores the first 30 stations found in the
selected band into the memory. You can also manually store a station
into memory.
