Manual tuning
Each time the 4 or ¢ button is pressed, the unit steps through the
current frequency band. Tuning is done in steps of 50 kHz for FM and
9 kHz for AM (MW/LW). In AM operation, the tuned frequency moves
continuously from the MW (522-1,629 kHz) to the LW (144-288 kHz) band
and vice versa.
Press to move to lower
frequencies.
Notes:
÷ When seek tuning to the required station is not possible because the
broadcast signal is too weak, press the 4 or ¢ button momentarily
to perform manual tuning.
÷ When the power is set to STANDBY, or another mode (TAPE or CD) is
selected, the last tuned frequency is stored in memory. When the power
is switched on again and TUNER BAND button is pressed, the same
station will be tuned to.
Auto preset tuning
This function scans the current band, detecting frequencies used to
broadcast signals, and stores the first 30 FM frequencies and 15 AM
(MW/LW) frequencies in memory automatically.
