Using the tuner
Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to
FM and AM radio broadcasts using the
automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning
functions. Once you are tuned to a station you
can memorize the frequency for recall later—
see Saving station presets below for more on
how to do this.
1 Press TUNER to select the tuner.
2 Use BAND to change to BAND (FM or
AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM
(stereo or mono) and AM.
3 Tune to a station.
There are three ways to do this:
Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently
selected band, press and hold TUNE
/
for about a second. The receiver will start
searching for the next station, stopping
when it has found one. Repeat to search for
other stations.
Manual tuning
To change the frequency one step at a
time, press TUNE
/.
High speed tuning
Press and hold TUNE
/ for high speed
tuning. Release the button at the frequency
you want.
Improving FM stereo sound
If the TUNE or ST indicators don’t light when
tuning to an FM station because the signal is
weak, press the BAND button to select FM
MONO and set the receiver to the mono
reception mode. This should improve the
sound quality and allow you to enjoy the
broadcast.
Saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station,
it’s convenient to have the receiver store the
frequency for easy recall whenever you want to
listen to that station. This saves the effort of
manually tuning in each time. This unit can
memorize up to 30 stations. When saving an
FM frequency.
