Automatic and Manual Tuning
The following steps show you how to tune in FM and AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual
(step) tuning functions. If you already know the exact frequency of the station you want, see “Direct Access Tuning”
on the following page.
1 Press the TUNER button.
On the remote, this selects the tuner function on the
receiver and sets the remote to the tuner operation mode.
2 Press the BAND button to select the
band (FM or AM).
Each press switches the band: FM AM
3 Tune in the station.
For Automatic Tuning
Press and hold TUNING –/+ for about one second, then
release.
The tuner starts searching the selected band and stop
automatically at the first station it locates. Repeat to
locate other stations.
For Manual Tuning
• To change frequencies one step at a time, press TUN-
ING –/+ repeatedly.
• To change frequencies quickly, hold down TUNING –/+
and release when you reach the frequency you want.
MPX Mode
If the TUNED or STEREO indicators do not light when tuning
an FM station, because the station is too far away or the
broadcast signal is weak, press MPX on the remote control to
switch to MONO reception. This should improve reception
enough for you to enjoy the broadcast.
RF ATT Mode (European model only)
If the radio signal is too strong and/or the sound is distorting
press the RF ATT button to attenuate (lower) the radio signal
input and reduce the distortion (for FM stations only).
When on, RF ATT lights in the display.
