Basic Operation
Tuning the Radio Your receiver offers three types of electronic tuning— manual, automatic, and
memory.
Manual and Automatic Tuning
Follow these steps to manually or automatically tune to the stations.
1. Press TUNER . Then press FM/AM to select the desired band.
The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency last selected in that
band.
2. Press TUNING or once to move to the next higher or lower frequency.
Or, press and hold down TUNING or to rapidly change frequencies.
Release the button to stop.
To search for the next higher or lower FM station, release TUNING or
as soon as the frequency starts to change. The receiver searches up or
down the FM band until it finds a strong station.
Notes:
• STEREO appears on the display when FM broadcasts are received in
stereo and the receiver is not set to FM mono. TUNED appears on the
display when you tune to a strong station. To find a weak FM station,
press
FM MONO until MONO appears. See “Using FM Mono” on
Page 15.
• If you press TUNING at the top of the frequency range or TUNING
at the bottom of the frequency range, the display returns to the other
end of the range.
Memory Tuning
Memory tuning lets you instantly tune to a stored frequency. You can store up to
30 AM or FM frequencies (10 frequencies in each of three classes) in the
receiver’s memory.
Follow these steps to store a station.
1. Press TUNER . Then press FM/AM to select the desired band.
2. Using either manual or automatic tuning, select the frequency you want to
store.
If desired, press FM MONO for FM monaural sound (see “Using FM Mono”
on Page 16). This setting is stored in the memory.
3. Press MEMORY . MEMORY appears for 5 seconds.
4. While MEMORY is on the display, press CLASS until the class number you
want ( 1 - 3 ) appears on the display. Then press STATION or until the
station number you want appears on the display.
Repeat these steps to store additional frequencies. Do not enter a frequency
while the display flashes.
To tune to a stored frequency, press CLASS so the desired class number
appears on the display, then press STATION / to select the station.
Note: For weak signals, we recommend
manual tuning.
Notes:
• If you store a frequency in a memory
that already contains a frequency, you
replace the previous frequency.
• If your receiver is disconnected from
AC power for several days, it loses all
the stored frequencies.
