Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to
FM and AM radio broadcasts using the auto-
matic (search) and manual (step) tuning func-
tions. If you already know the frequency of the
station you want, see Tuning directly to a sta-
tion below. Once you are tuned to a station you
can memorize the frequency for recall later-see
Saving station presets on page 41 for more on
how to do this.
1 SC-LX85 only: Set the remote control
operation selector switch to SOURCE.
2 Press TUNER to select the tuner.
3 Use BAND to change the band (FM or
AM), if necessary.
4 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
i/j for about a second. The
receiver will start searching for the next
station, stopping when it has found one.
Repeat to search for other stations.
! Manual tuning – To change the frequency
one step at a time, press TUNE i/j.
! High speed tuning – Press and hold TUNE
i/j for high speed tuning. Release the
button at the frequency you want.
Improving FM sound
If the TUNED or STEREO indicator doesn’t
light when tuning to an FM station because the
signal is weak, press MPX to switch the receiver
into mono reception mode. This should improve
the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the
broadcast.
Using the noise cut mode
The two noise cut modes can be used when
receiving AM broadcasts. Press MPX to select
the noise cut mode (1 to 2).
Using Neural Surround
This feature uses Neural Surround TM technolo-
gies to achieve optimal surround sound from
FM radio.
! While listening to FM radio, press
AUTO/ALC/DIRECT for Neural Surround.
! The Neural Surround mode can be selected
also with STANDARD.
Tuning directly to a station
1 SC-LX85 only: Set the remote control
operation selector switch to SOURCE.
2 Press TUNER to select the tuner.
3 Use BAND to change the band (FM or
AM), if necessary.
4 Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
5 Use the number buttons to enter the
frequency of the radio station.
For example, to tune to 106.00 (FM), press 1, 0,
6, 0, 0.
If you make a mistake halfway through, press
D.ACCESS twice to cancel the frequency and
start over.
Saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station,
it’s convenient to have the receiver store the
frequency for easy recall whenever you want
to listen to that station. This saves the effort of
manually tuning in each time. This receiver can
memorize up to 63 stations, stored in seven
banks, or classes (A to G) of 9 stations each.
