DISABLING THE AGC
If the received signal strength is sufficiently high and is
stable, you can disable the AGC. In general, disabling the
AGC function decreases the RF gain; however, this will
facilitate you listening to a weak signal.
Follow the procedure below to disable the AGC for the
main band and sub band independently.
PRECAUTION
◆ Depending on reception conditions, disabling the AGC may cause
the audio to be excessively loud, both through the internal speaker
and a set of headphones.
1 Press [AGC OFF] (M) or [AGC OFF] (S) to disable the
AGC.
The message prompting you to disable the AGC appears.
2 Press [OK] (F4) to disable the AGC.
Pressing [CANCEL] (F7) to abort this operation
