Radio Reception

Auto Tuning

1. Press the TUNER input selector.
2. Select AM or FM by pressing the BAND selector button.
3. Press the MODE button to select the normal TUNING
mode.
This button is used to select normal Tuning or Preset
Channel Scan modes. For normal tuning, the PRESET CH
indicator light should be off.
4. Press and hold the UP or DOWN TUNING button
(between 1/2 to 2 seconds). The next station
broadcasting at a frequency higher or lower than
that of the current station is automatically detected and
tuned in.
• By pressing and holding the TUNING button for longer
than 2 seconds, it will continue to scan (three times
faster than normal speed).
FM MODE Button
Pressing this button alternates between Stereo mode
and Mono mode.
– Stereo
FM stereo broadcasts are received in stereo and the
STEREO indicator lights in the display.
Monophonic broadcasts are received in mono.
If FM broadcasts with weak signal strength are
received, the FM muting (-20dB) function works auto-
matically to cut the signals, eliminating loud noise.
– Mono
To compensate for weak FM stereo reception, select
this mode. Reception will now be received in monaur-
al, reducing unwanted noise.
TUNED Indicator
"TUNED" appears in the display when a broadcast is
correctly tuned in.

casting a signal that is too weak to be received by Auto
Tuning.

mode.
