Using the tuner
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 on page 36 for more on how to do this.
1 Press the TUNER button to select the tuner.
2 Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or
AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
3 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 stereo sound
If the TUNED or STEREO indicators don’t light when
tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press
the
MPX button to switch the receiver into mono
reception mode. This should improve the sound quality
and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.
Using Neural THX
VSX-LX70 only
This feature uses Neural Surround™ technology to
achieve optimal surround sound from FM radio.
• While listening to FM radio, press S.DIRECT for
Neural THX listening.
See About Neural Surround on page 91 for more on this.
The Neural THX mode can be selected also with the
STANDARD button.
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 Press the TUNER button to select the tuner.
2 Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or
AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
3 Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
4 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 30 stations, stored in three
banks, or classes (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When
saving an FM frequency, the
MPX setting (see page 36) is
also stored.
1 Tune to a station you want to memorize.
See Listening to the radio on page 36 for more on this.
