There will be no stereo effect, but the reception will
improve. To return to the auto stereo mode, click this
icon again.
If “STEREO” remains off
Click FM MODE, even when an FM stereo broadcast is
received.
If an AM program is noisy
Adjust the direction of the AM loop antenna for

If you cannot tune in a station and the entered
numbers are flashing
Make sure you have entered the right frequency. If not,
reenter the frequency you want.
If the entered numbers still flash, the frequency is not
used in your area.
If you enter a frequency not covered by the tuning
interval
The entered value is automatically rounded up or down
to the closest covered value.
Tuning intervals for Direct Tuning are:
FM: 50 kHz intervals
