If the remote control is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent possible
damage through leaking batteries.
USING THE REMOTE CONTROLLER CORRECTLY
Point the remote controller at the Remote Sensor (7).
The functions of the buttons on the remote control are the same as the corresponding controls
on the main unit.
When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared Remote Sensor
may be degraded, causing unreliable operation.
The maximum effective distance for remote control operation is about 5 metres (16.5 feet).

Select ON with the Main Power Switch (31) on the rear of the unit.
Press the STANDBY Button on the unit (5) or the remote control (1) to turn the unit on.
Select the TUNER function with the Function Button on the unit (20) or on the remote
control (13).
Select the desired frequency band using the Band button on the unit (14) or on the remote
control (15).
There are a number of ways that you can tune to radio stations. Follow the instructions
in the sections below.
Adjust the VOLUME to the desired level using the VOLUME-/+ (16) Knob or the VOLUME
-/+ Buttons (14,3) on the remote control .
To turn off the radio, press the STANDBY Button again.
Select the desired frequency band using the Band button.
Press the TUNING up or down Buttons to change the frequency.
Repeatedly press the TUNING up or down buttons until the precise frequency is reached.
Select the desired frequency band using the Band button on the unit (14) or on the remote
control (15).
Press and hold the TUNING up or down Buttons for about a second. The radio will start
automatically scanning for strong radio signals. The TUNER Display shows the frequency
in MHz for FM, or kHz for MW .
The tuner will stop scanning when it finds a strong signal.
Repeat this process until the desired station is found.
Notes: As automatic tuning depends on the signal strength of the transmitters, weak
transmitters are sometimes skipped. In such a case, tune manually to find the
weaker transmitters.
On the other hand, with a very strong signal, the tuner may stop before it reaches
the optimum setting. Tune manually for the best reception.
First tune into the station you want to store using one of the methods above.
