Grundig World Receiver G2000A - Manual (Page 7)

RADIO RECEPTION
AM STEP selector (MW)
The minimum 'frequency distance' (span division) between
adjacent radio stations (measured in kHz) is standardized
all over the world.
However, North and South America use another standard
than the rest of the world.
This means that the radio should use a tuning step
according to the standard concerned in order to obtain
accurate radio tuning.
The AM STEP switch (in the battery compartment) allows
accurate tuning for both standards.
Position 10kHz for the Americas
- MW tuning step 10kHz;
Position 9 kHz for the rest of the
world
- MW tuning step 9 kHz;
Aerials
• For FM reception extends the telescopic aerial fully. To
improve the reception you can incline and rotate the
aerial. If the FM signal received is too strong (in the
direct vicinity of the transmitter) you can retract the
aerial.
• For the medium wave (MW), the set has a built-in aerial,
so the telescopic aerial is not needed. You can direct the
aerial by turning the set itself.
• For short wave reception (SW) extend the telescopic
aerial and position it vertically.

FM MONO/STEREO
- When ' ' appears on the display, you are receiving an
FM stereo transmitter. If you are listening with headphones,

be suppressed by setting MONO/STEREO to MONO.
- The ' ' indication goes out and you will hear the FM
station in mono.
• Press POWER once again to switch the radio off.
