Important

Listening to the radio
The tuner can receive both FM and AM broadcasts, and
lets you memorize your favorite stations so you don’t have
to manually tune in every time you want to listen.
1 Press FM/AM to switch to the tuner, then press
repeatedly to select the FM or AM band.
The display shows the band and frequency.
2 Tune to a frequency.
There are three tuning modes—manual, auto, and high-
speed:
• Manual tuning: Press TUNE +/– repeatedly to
change the displayed frequency.
• Auto tuning: Press and hold TUNE +/– until the
frequency display starts to move, then release. The
tuner will stop on the next station it finds. Repeat to
keep searching.
• High-speed tuning: Press and hold TUNE +/– until
the frequency display starts to move rapidly. Keep the
button held down until you reach the frequency you
want. If necessary, fine tune the frequency using the
manual tuning method.

reception is weak, you can improve the sound quality by

mode (the stereo indicator ( ) lights when receiving a

Improving poor AM sound
The simplest way to improve the sound quality of AM
radio is to make sure that the TV in the room is switched
off. Also try changing the position and direction of the
AM loop antenna.

If you find that the sound quality is bad even after trying
the above, you may be able to improve it using a different
noise cut mode. Just choose the one that sounds best.
