Using The Tuner; Finding A Station - RCA Audio/Video Receiver Owner's Manual

USING THE TUNER

FINDING A STATION

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM radio broadcasts using the automatic
(search) and manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the exact frequency of the station you
want to listen to, see Tuning Directly to a Station on the following page. Once you are tuned to a station
you can memorize the frequency for recall later—see Memorizing Stations on the next page for more on
this.

press the MPX button to switch the receiver into MONO reception
mode. This should improve the sound quality and allow you to

enjoy the broadcast.
Press the TUNER button on the remote control.
Make sure the DIRECT FUNCTION is ON (see p, 24).
Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or AM), if
necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM (on the

Tune to a station.
Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and
hold either the FQ. + or FQ. – button for about a second. The
receiver will start searching for the next station, stopping when
it has found one. Repeat this step to search for other stations.
Manual tuning
To change the frequency one step at a time, press the FQ. + /
FQ. – (5∞) buttons.
To change frequency more quickly, press and hold the FQ. + /
FQ. – buttons until the desired frequency is reached, then
release.
High speed tuning
Press and hold the FQ. + or FQ. – button for high speed
tuning, releasing the button once the desired frequency is
reached.
