Radio
Showing the "old" setting first
allows for reconsideration of the
decision to store. If it is desirable to
leave the "old" frequency in
memory rather than exchanging it
with the "new" one, quickly release
the button. The "old" frequency will
remain in memory.
Any AM station can be stored
similarly on any button marked

Stereo reception
The stereo indicator symbol ^^=l=t«l
lights up if a stereo program is
received.
The radio is equipped with an
automatic stereo/mono switch that
electronically switches to mono for
clear reception if a weak signal is
received. A special circuit provides
for a smooth change-over rather
than a hard sudden switching,
thereby reducing noise and
interference.
The stereo indicator will remain lit
even if the receiver has changed to
the mono mode and will turn off at
an antenna signal considered
insufficient to provide acceptable
reception quality.
