Using the Radio

Not only does the digital tuner help you tune in radio
stations more easily, it also lets you preset as many as
five AM and five FM radio stations for easy access.
Tuning In Radio Stations
After you choose the radio feature by turning the Function
Control knob to RADIO, you can do the following:
Press the BAND button to change the radio band to AM
or FM.
Press the TUNING buttons to change the radio station.
Press and quickly release the SEEK/SCAN button to turn
on the Seek feature, which locates the next station.
Press and momentarily hold the SEEK/SCAN button
before releasing it to turn on the Scan feature which
searches for stations. When a station is found, the Scan
feature allows you to listen for about 3 seconds, and
then moves to the next station. When you find a station
you like, press the SEEK/SCAN button again to choose
that station.
Press the FM/MONO button to listen to FM stations in
either mono or stereo (STEREO appears in the display
when listening to FM stereo).
Note that AM stations are broadcast in mono only, and
that the FM radio station must be transmitting in stereo
for you to receive it in stereo.

Playing Hide and Seek
Sometimes the Seek and Scan features
might not locate an available station
because the it's signal is not strong
enough. So, if you know the frequency
of the station your looking for, you
might want to use the TUNING
buttons instead.
Weak Reception?
If the reception of an FM station
transmitting in stereo is weak, the
STEREO indicator might fade in and
out. Adjusting the FM whip antenna
can help. If not, changing from FM
Stereo to FM Mono might improve
reception, just remember that you'll
no longer be listening in stereo.
