FINDING A STATION
Follow steps below 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 24 for more on how to do this.
The receiver and the remote control must both be set to tuner mode for AM/FM station listening.

On the receiver, press the FM/AM button to select the tuner
mode.
2 Press the TUNER button on the remote control to put it in tuner
mode.

FM/AM button).
4 Tune to a station.
Automatic Tuning
To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and
hold either the
TUNING. + or TUNING. – 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
TUNING. + / TUNING. – (
5∞) buttons.
To change frequency more quickly, press and hold the
TUNING. + / TUNING. – buttons until the desired frequency is
reached, then release.
Once you've found a station, you can store it in the receiver's
memory for easy recall anytime—see "Recalling Memorized
Stations" on page 25.
MPX Mode
If the TUNED or STEREO indicators don'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.
