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 the following page. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the
frequency for recall later—see Memorizing Stations on page 44 for more on how to do this.
Using the Tuner
1 Press the MULTI CONTROL TUN (TUNER)
button.
On the receiver, press the FM/AM button to select the tuner
mode.
2 Use the BAND button to change the band
(FM or AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM (on the front
panel use the FM/AM button).
3 Tune to a station.
Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and hold
either the FQ
+ or FQ – button 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 FQ
+
/ FQ
–
buttons.
High speed tuning
Press and hold the FQ
+
or FQ
–
button for high speed tuning,
releasing the button once the desired frequency is reached.
MPX mode
If the TUNED or STEREO indicator doesn’t light when tuning to an FM
station because the signal 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.
