Listening to a stereo radio station (FM mode)

When you tune into a radio station,
indicator appears in the display. If you tune into
an FM station in stereo, then "FM STEREO"
appears. If the signal is weak, it may be
impossible to tune into the station in stereo. In
such a case, press the FM MODE button on the
front panel. The AUTO indication disappears
and the radio station is output in the monaural
mode. To return to stereo, press the FM MODE
button again. "AUTO" appears. Some inter-
station noise may be heard, but the sound will
not cut in and out as it would if stereo was
selected.
