Receiving broadcasts
This tuner lets you enter a station’s frequency
directly by using the numeric buttons (Direct

the station you want, see “Receiving broadcasts
by scanning stations (Automatic Tuning)” on

Before you begin, make sure you have
connected an FM/AM antenna to the tuner as
indicated on pages 5 and 6.

Tips
• When you tune in AM (MW and LW) stations,
adjust the direction of the AM loop antenna for

• If you cannot tune in a station and the entered
numbers are flashing, make sure you have entered
the right frequency. If not, press DIRECT and
reenter the frequency you want. If the entered
