Listening to FM and AM Broadcasts

Tuning in a Station

The unit automatically tunes in the previously
tuned station (either FM or AM).
• Each time you press the button, the band
alternates between FM and AM.

Press and hold 4 or ¢
for more than 1 second.
The unit starts searching for stations
and stops when a station of sufficient
signal strength is tuned in. If a
program is broadcast in stereo, you
can hear stereo sounds (the STEREO
indicator appears).
To stop during searching, press 4 or ¢.
When you press 4 or ¢ briefly and repeatedly
The frequency changes step by step.
To change the FM reception mode
When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive
or noisy, press FM MODE so that the MONO
indicator appears on the display. Reception
improves.
To restore the stereo effect, press FM MODE again so that
the MONO indicator goes off.
• The stereo effect is also restored when you tune in another
station.

Presetting Stations

You can preset 10 FM and 10 AM stations.
In some cases, test frequencies have been already memorized
for the tuner since the factory examined the tuner preset
function before shipment. This is not a malfunction. You can
preset the stations you want into memory by following the
presetting method.
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the
setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 2
again.

Tune in the station you want to preset.
