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 (step) tuning functions. If you already know the
frequency of the station you want, see
Tuning directly to a
station below. Once you are tuned to a station you can
memorize the frequency for recall later—see
Saving
station presets below for more on how to do this.
SC-LX82:
SC-LX72:
1 SC-LX82 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.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
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
/
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
/.
High speed tuning – Press and hold TUNE / 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 THX
This feature uses Neural Surround™, THX ® technologies
to achieve optimal surround sound from FM radio.
• While listening to FM radio, press AUTO/ALC/
DIRECT for Neural THX listening.
See About Neural – THX Surround on page 143 for more
on this.
The Neural THX mode can be selected also with
STANDARD (page 59).
Tuning directly to a station
Sometimes, you’ll already know the frequency of the
station you want to listen to. In this case, you can simply
enter the frequency directly using the number buttons on
the remote control.
1 SC-LX82 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.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
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. When saving
an FM frequency, the
MPX setting (see page 55) is also
stored.
1 Tune to a station you want to memorize.
See Listening to the radio above for more on this.
2 Press T.EDIT (TUNER EDIT).
The display shows PRESET MEMORY, then a blinking
memory class.
3 Press CLASS to select one of the seven classes, then
press PRESET / to select the station preset you
want.
You can also use the number buttons to select a station
preset.
