RADIO RECEPTION
To listen to an FM stereo broadcast
FM stereo
Set to this position by pressing the TUNER BAND button when listening
to or recording an FM broadcast. If an FM stereo broadcast is received,
the “STEREO” indicator is lit in the display window, and the FM broadcast
can be heard in stereo.
FM mono
Set to this position by pressing the TUNER BAND button if FM stereo
reception is noisy. The “MONO” indicator is lit and the sound becomes
monaural, but the reception will be improved.
When another station is tuned to in this mode, the “MONO” indicator
goes off and the unit returns to FM stereo automatically.
Note:
AM broadcasts are monaural.
Seek tuning (auto tuning)
Press the 4 or ¢ button for one second or more. The unit enters the
seek tuning mode to tune in the nearest station automatically, so the
broadcast can be heard. In AM operation, the frequency moves
continuously from the MW to the LW band and vice versa.
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.
(Using the main unit)
Press the PRESET TUNING button for more than 2 seconds.
(Using the remote control unit)
Press the AUTO PRESET button.
The frequencies of stations’ broadcasting signals are stored in memory
automatically in the order of increasing frequency. (30 stations in FM
band and 15 stations in AM (MW/LW) band.)
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.
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. Press to move to higher
frequencies.
Operate in the order shown

(When battery power is used, switch on the
button first, then perform
operation):
1 Press the TUNER BAND button.
