presetting radio stations that you listen to frequently, you can use
the PRESET buttons on the front panel to go to them

such a case, press the FM Mode button under the cover on the
front panel. "Mono" appears for a few seconds under the
frequency in the front display. To return to stereo, press the
FM Mode button again. "Auto" appears for a few seconds and
then " " appears to the right of the frequency. Some inter-

• When FM is selected, you can use the auto-search feature
by pressing and holding down one of the TUNING
buttons. The tuner frequency will search in the direction of
