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. 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.
1 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.
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 +/– (or /) 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 +/– (or
/).
High speed tuning
Press and hold
TUNE +/– (or /) for high speed tuning.
Release the button at the frequency you want.
– Lights when a normal broadcast channel.
– Lights when a stereo FM broadcast is being received in
auto stereo mode.
Improving FM sound
If the or indicators don’t light when tuning to an FM
station because the signal is weak, set the receiver to the
mono reception mode.
 Press BAND to select FM MONO.
This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy
the broadcast.
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 unit can
memorize up to 30 stations.
1 Tune to a station you want to memorize.
See Listening to the radio below for more on this.
2 Press TOOLS.
The preset number is blinking.
3 Press PRESET +/– (or /) to select the station preset
you want.
4 Press ENTER.
The preset number stop blinking and the receiver stores the
station.
Note
• If the receiver is left disconnected from the AC power
outlet for over a month, the station memories will be lost
and will have to be reprogrammed.
• Stations are stored in stereo. When the station is stored
in the FM MONO mode, it shows as when recalled.
Listening to station presets
You will need to have some presets stored to do this. See
Saving station presets above if you haven’t done this already.
 Press PRESET +/– (or /) to select the station preset
you want.
Naming preset stations
For easier identification, you can name all of your preset
stations.
1 Choose the station preset you want to name.
See Listening to station presets above for how to do this.
2 Press TOOLS twice.
The cursor at the first character position is blinking on the
display.
3 Input the name you want.
Choose a name up to eight characters long.
• Use PRESET +/– (or /) to select character position.
• Use TUNE +/– (or /) to select characters.
• The name is stored when ENTER is pressed.
Tip
• To erase a station name, follow steps 1 and 2, and press
ENTER while the display is blank. Press TOOLS while the
display is blank, to keep the previous name.
• Once you have named a station preset, Press DISP to
show the name. When you want to return to the frequency
display, press
DISP several times to show the frequency.
