■ Tuning methods
Auto tuning
When the TUNING key is pressed, broadcast frequencies
are scanned automatically in the upward or downward
direction until a station is located and tuned in. The
stereo/monaural FM reception mode is set automatically
according to the station,
1. Press the AUTO key so that the AUTO indicator lights,
2. Press the UP {[A) or DOWN ([Vl) segment of the
TUNING key.
• Pressing the UP ([7\]) segment scans broadcast fre­
quencies by varying the displayed frequencies in the
upward direction, and pressing the DOWN ([V])
segment scans by varying the frequencies in the
downward direction,
• When a broadcasting station is received, the fre­
quency display freezes and indicates the frequency of
the received station.
3. If the received station is not the desired station, press
the same segment of the TUNING key again.
• Repeat this until the desired station is received.
Manual tuning
Stations with weak signal strength cannot be received by
auto tuning. In such cases, tune in the desired station by
manual tuning. The station will be received in monaural
mode (monaural mode is resistant to noise),

frequency varies by one step in the direction indi­
cated by the pressed segment.
• Holding the TUNING key depressed varies the dis­
played frequency continuously.
3. When the frequency of the desired station is tuned in,
release the TUNING key,
• Noise may be heard if the tuned frequency is not
precisely the same as the frequency of the station. In
such cases, press the UP ([A]) or DOWN ([V} seg­
ment of the TUNING key to adjust the tuning pre­
cisely.
