Using The Tuner; Finding A Station - RCA STAV-3860 Owner's Manual

USING THE TUNER

FINDING A STATION

Follow steps below 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 the following page. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the
frequency for recall later—see "Memorizing Stations" on page 24 for more on how to do this.
The receiver and the remote control must both be set to tuner mode for AM/FM station listening.
