muting level to be switched between high and low. In the
high position, scanning during automatic tuning will only
stop for stations having a high signal strength. To tune
in weaker stations in the automatic tuning mode, set the
tuning level switch to the low position. For even weaker
stations, set the FM mute/mode switch 14] to the OFF
(MONO} position (in which case even stereo broadcasts
will be heard in mono).
