Listening to the radio
The tuner can receive both FM and AM broadcasts, and
lets you memorize your favorite stations so you don't have
to manually tune in every time you want to listen.

If the system isn't already on, press
STANDBY/ON to switch on.
2
Press FM/AM to switch to the tuner, then press
repeatedly to select the AM or FM band.
The display shows the tuner band and frequency.

frequency display starts to move, then release. The
tuner will stop on the next station it finds. Repeat to
search for other stations.
• High-speed tuning: Press and hold TUNE +/– until
the frequency display starts to move rapidly. Keep the
button held down until you reach the frequency you
want. If necessary, fine tune the frequency using the
manual tuning method.
Note
• If you find that you can't accurately tune in to radio
stations, the frequency step setting may not be right
for your country or region. See Frequency step setting
on page 121 for how to change it.
Improving poor FM reception
If you're listening to an FM station in stereo but the
reception is weak, you can improve the sound quality by
switching to mono.

(cursor left/right) buttons to
choose 'FM Mode?' then press ENTER.

'FM Mono?' then press ENTER.
The mono indicator (MONO) lights when the tuner is in
mono reception mode.
Select FM Auto above to switch back to auto-stereo
mode (the stereo indicator (ST) lights when receiving a

Improving poor AM sound
The simplest way to improve the sound quality of AM
radio is to make sure that the TV in the room is switched
off. Also try changing the position and direction of the
AM loop antenna.
Changing the noise cut mode
If you find that the sound quality is bad even after trying
the above, you may be able to improve it using a different
noise cut mode. Just choose the one that sounds best.
