Listening to the radio
The tuner can receive both FM and AM

favorite stations so you don’t have to manually
tune in every time you want to listen (see

this).

tuner, then press repeatedly to select the AM
or FM band.
The display shows the band and frequency.

There are three tuning modes — manual, auto,
and high-speed:
• Manual tuning: Press TUNE +/–
repeatedly to change the displayed
frequency.
• Auto tuning: Press and hold TUNE +/–
until the frequency display starts to move,
then release. The tuner will stop on the next
station it finds. Repeat to keep searching.
• High-speed tuning: Press and hold
TUNE +/– until the frequency display starts
to move rapidly. Keep the button held down
until you reach the frequency you want. If
