Basic Operation
Tuning the Radio
Your receiver has four types of electronic tuning — manual, automatic,
direct access, and memory.
Manual and Automatic Tuning
Follow these steps to manually or automatically tune to stations.
Hint: If none of the tuning buttons on the remote control operate, press
TUNER
first.
1. Press
FM/AM
on the front panel (or repeatedly press
FUNC
on the
remote control) until the band name and frequency appears on the
display to select the tuner. Then press
FM/AM
(
ENTER
on the remote
control) again to select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and
displays the frequency last selected in that band.
If
A
,
B

and a single digit number appear to the left of the sta-
tion frequency, press
TUNING SELECT
on the front panel until the
band name (
AM
or

TUNING SE-
LECT
if you are tuning with the remote control.
2. To manually select the next lower or higher frequency, press
TUNING
(

once to manually select
the next lower or higher frequency. Or, hold down the button to
rapidly change frequencies, and release it.
To automatically search for the next lower or higher station, hold

the band to the next strong station.

If you press

at the top of the frequency range or

returns to the other end of the range.

Notes:
• If you enter an invalid frequency (for example, entering 828), the
receiver tunes to the closest valid frequency (830 kHz).
• If you do not press a key within 5 seconds, the receiver exits direct
access tuning. Start over at Step 2.
Note: For weak signals, we recommend
manual tuning.
