BAND Buttons

-I
Press the BAND button to toggle between AM and FM reception.
An indicator in the front-panel display confirms your choice and the
currently tuned station frequency is shown.

TUNING Buttons

=P
The TUNING buttons (labeled CH UP/DOWN on the remote control)
provide three different tuning functions, depending on the mode of
operation.
In the normal FREQUENCY tuning mode, press a TUNING button
(CH UP/DOWN on the remote) and release to manually jump to the next
station frequency, regardless of whether or not a station is broadcasting
on that frequency. For auto frequency search tuning, press and hold the
TUNING button for approximately one second. An AUTO indicator will
appear in the front-panel display and the tuner will begin scanning up or
down through the frequencies until the next available signal is detected.
If this is not the desired station, repeat the automatic tuning procedure to
find the next station. Weak stations will be skipped during auto tuning.
Note: Select the FREQUENCY tuning mode by pressing the TUNE
button on the remote or toggle between FREQUENCY and PRESET
modes by pressing the P-TUN button.
In the PRESET tuning mode, press a TUNING button (CH UP/DOWN
on the remote) and release to jump to the next memorized station preset.
Note: Select the PRESET tuning mode by pressing the PRESET
button on the remote or toggle between FREQUENCY and PRESET
modes by pressing the P-TUN button. A PRESET indicator appears
in the display when PRESET TUNING is activated.
In the RDS PTY search mode, press a TUNING button (CH UP/
DOWN on the remote) to select the desired program type from the
scrolling list in the display. See the section on RDS tuning for more
details.
Note: Several indicators in the front-panel display assist tuning. A
large display shows the tuned frequency. A TUNED indicator lights
when a sufficiently strong signal is received. A ST indicator lights
when a stereo FM signal is received.

MEMORY Button

0B
The MEMORY button (labeled MEM and "X" on the remote is used with
the NUMERIC buttons to store memorized station presets. See the next
section for detailed instructions.

NUMERIC Buttons: Station Presets

The receiver can store up to 30 station presets for recall at any time using
the NUMERIC buttons on the front panel. To memorize a station:
1. Tune to the desired station, AM or FM.
2. Press the MEMORY button on the front-panel or remote. A MEMORY
indicator will flash for five seconds in the front-panel display.
3. While the MEMORY indicator is flashing, press the number of the
preset where you wish to store the station frequency. For example,
to memorize the station as preset 3, press the 3 button. To memorize
preset 15, press the 1 button followed by the 5 button.

4. A previously stored frequency is erased from memory when a new
frequency is memorized for the same preset number.
To tune to a previously memorized station, just press the preset number
on the NUMERIC buttons. For example, to tune to preset 3, press the
3 button. To tune to preset 15, press the 1 button and then press the 5
button.
Note: If the TUNER is not already the selected input, pressing a
NUMERIC button on the front-panel activates the TUNER. If using
the NUMERIC buttons on the remote, first manually select the tuner
input, if not already active.
The NUMERIC buttons can also be used for direct access tuning (see next
section).

DIRECT Button

FRQ DIRECT Button

D
If you know the frequency of the desired station, you may tune it directly
using the DIRECT button and the NUMERIC buttons.
1. Press the DIRECT button on the front panel or the FRQ DIRECT button
on the remote to change the NUMERIC buttons from station preset to
Direct Access mode. The station frequency in the front-panel display
will change to a series of four bars, representing the digits of a
station frequency, with the first bar flashing.
2. Enter the first digit of the station frequency using the NUMERIC
buttons. The digit will appear in the frequency display and the second
bar will flash. Enter the remaining digits of the frequency. When all
of the necessary digits have been entered, the receiver will tune to the
displayed station frequency. Note that entering a station frequency is
slightly different for the USA and Europe:
In the USA:
FM87.50MHz Press: 8>7>5
FM101.90MHz Press: 1>1>9
AM1410kHz Press: 1>4>1
In Europe:
FM87.50MHz Press: 8>7>5>0
FM101.90MHz Press: 1>1>9>0
AM1413kHz Press: 1>4>1>3

MONO Button

9

FM MONO Button

H
The MONO button on the front panel or the FM MONO button on the
remote change the FM mode from stereo reception to mono reception. In
stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the station is broadcasting
a stereo signal and there is sufficient signal strength. An ST indicator will
light in the front-panel display. In mono mode, a mono signal will be
heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal.
Note: Switching to mono mode can improve the reception of
weak or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required for
clean mono reception than for stereo reception.
