The unit has a built-in tuner that allows for FM
radio function. The AM loop antenna allows for
AM radio function.

antenna at the back of the unit. Rotate the
AM loop for better reception.
2. Press TUNER.
3. Tune a station by pressing TUNER+/- repeatedly
until the desired station is found. Alternatively,
you can press and hold the same buttons down
for about one second to activate the automatic
search function. In this mode the unit will
automatically tune frequencies until it finds a
station.
4. Repeat step 3 to tune to another radio
station.
5. Press TUNER to toggle between FM and AM.

memory. You can enter every single radio station
yourself or the unit can store all available radio
stations automatically in ascending order.

Manual preset

1. Tune to a radio station (see "Manual tuning"
for details).
2. Press MEMORY. While the Program Preset
number is still flashing, input your desired
preset number using the numeric buttons or
press the CH+/- buttons, then press MEMORY
to store it.

Retrieving preset stations

1. Press TUNER to enter the Tuner mode.
2. Press CH +/- to search up or down for the
preset stations or directly press the numeric
buttons.
Tip:
• When the FM station broadcasts Stereo
sound is found, ST is displayed.
• When you tune at a weak FM station
manually, press AUDIO on remote control
to switch from Stereo to Mono mode. This
will reduce the background noise.
• If there is any interference, change the
antenna's position until ideal sound
reception is obtained. TV and other
electronic devices could be the cause of
interference, so try to position the antenna
away from them.
• A weak signal can affect the "Automatic
preset programming" function's efficiency.
Adjust the antenna for better reception
and a more efficient search.
