Listening to the radio

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM

radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual

can memorize the frequency for recall later—see Saving

station presets on page 24 for more on how to do this.

Press TUNER to select the tuner.

2

Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary.

Each press switches the band between FM (stereo or mono)

and AM.

Tune to a station.

There are three ways to do this:

Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently selected band,

press and hold TUNE

when it has found one. Repeat to search for other

stations.
Manual tuning
To change the frequency one step at a time, press
TUNE

/.

High speed tuning
Press and hold TUNE

/ for high speed tuning.

Changing the radio frequency step
