Receiving the stored stations

1
Press (SOURCE) repeatedly to select
the radio.
2
Press (MODE) repeatedly to select the
band.
3
Press the number button ((1) to (6))
on which the desired station is stored.
Tip
Press M or m to receive the stations in the order they
are stored in the memory (Preset Search function).
If preset tuning does not work
Press either side of (SEEK) to search
for the station (automatic tuning).
Scanning stops when the unit receives a
station. Repeat until the desired station is
received.
Tips
• If automatic tuning stops too frequently, turn on the
Local Seek to limit seek to stations with stronger
signals (see "Changing the sound and display
settings" on page 26).
• If you know the frequency of the station you want to
listen to, press and hold either side of (SEEK) to
locate the approximate frequency, then press
(SEEK) repeatedly to fine adjust to the desired
frequency (manual tuning).
If FM stereo reception is poor
Select monaural reception mode
(see "Changing the sound and display
settings" on page 26).
The sound improves, but becomes monaural
("ST" disappears).
Note
If interference occurs, this unit will automatically
narrow the reception frequency to eliminate noise (IF
Auto function). In such cases, some FM stereo
broadcasts may become monaural while in the stereo
reception mode.
Tip
To always hear FM stereo broadcasts in stereo, you
can change the IF Auto setting and widen the
frequency signal reception (see "Changing the sound
and display settings" on page 26). Note that some
interference may occur in this setting.
