In the following locations, poor condition or inability to receive
radio waves may cause the audio to be interrupted or
stopped:
• In reinforced concrete buildings or steel framed or iron-
framed buildings.
Near large metallic furniture.
•
• In a crowd of people or near a building or obstacle.
In a location exposed to the magnetic field, static electricity
•
or radio wave interference from radio communication
equipment using the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as
this unit, such as a 2.4 GHz wireless LAN device
(IEEE802.11b/g) or microwave oven.
• If you live in a heavily populated residential area
(apartment, townhouse, etc.) and if your neighbor's
microwave is placed near your system, you may
experience radio wave interference. If this occurs, move
your unit to a different place. When the microwave is not
in use, there will be no radio wave interference.
Radio wave reflections
The radio waves received by this unit include the radio wave
coming directly from the device equipped with BLUETOOTH
wireless technology (direct wave) and waves coming from
various directions due to reflections by walls, furniture and
building (reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to
obstacles and reflecting objects) further produce a variety of
reflected waves as well as variation in reception condition
depending on locations. If the audio cannot be received
properly due to this phenomenon, try moving the location of
the device equipped with BLUETOOTH wireless technology
a little. Also note that audio may be interrupted due to the
reflected waves when a person crosses or approaches the
space between this unit and the device equipped with
BLUETOOTH wireless technology.

sufficient working space in the surrounding area.
When changing connections of audio or other cables for
products supported by this unit, confirm that you have
sufficient working space in the surrounding area.

Listening to FM Radio

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM radio
broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual (step)
tuning functions. Once you are tuned to a station you can
memorize the frequency for recall later—see
presets below for more on how to do this.

TUNE +/–.
High speed tuning
TUNE +/–
Press and hold for high speed tuning.

Improving FM sound

If the TUNE or ST indicators don't light when tuning to an FM
station because the signal is weak, set the receiver to the
mono reception mode.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient
to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall
whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the
effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit can
memorize up to 30 stations.
