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 page 37. Once you are
tuned to a station you can memorize the frequency for
recall later—see "Memorizing Stations" on page 37 for
more on how to do this.

To search for stations in the currently selected band,
press and hold either the TUNE + or TUNE – buttons
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
TUNE + or TUNE – buttons.
High speed tuning
Press and hold the TUNE + or TUNE − buttons for
high speed tuning, releasing the button once the

MPX mode

If there is interference or noise during a FM radio
broadcast, or the radio reception is weak, 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.

RF ATT mode

If the radio signal is too strong and/or the sound is
distorting press the RF ATT button to attenuate (lower)
the radio signal input and reduce the distortion (for FM
stations only).
