Listening to the
Radio
When you want to play a radio
programme, you can have the tuner
automatically scan the radio frequencies
and tune in the stations with clear signals.
This feature saves you time in searching for
stations with clear signals.
However, stations with weak signals may
be skipped by automatic tuning. Manually
tune in the ones skipped by automatic
tuning.
