Using the tuner

Listening to the radio

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and
AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and
manual (step) tuning functions.
Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the
frequency for recall later—see Saving station presets
below for more on how to do this.
1 Press the FM/AM button to select the tuner.
The front panel display shows the band (FM or AM) and
the frequency. If you want to change the band, press FM/
AM again.
2 Tune to a station.
There are three ways to do this:
• Manual (step) tuning
To change the frequency one step at a time, press
TUNING +/– .
• Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently selected band,
press and hold TUNING +/– for about a second. The
receiver will start searching for the next station,

other stations.

mono reception mode. This should improve the sound

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's
convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for
easy recall. This saves the effort of manually tuning in
each time.
You can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three
banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When
saving an FM frequency, the MPX setting (see above) is
also stored.
