(except for the European model)
The AM tuning interval is factory-preset to 9 kHz
(10 kHz for some areas). To change the AM tuning
interval, tune in any AM station first, then turn off the
system. While holding down FUNCTION on the
system, turn the system back on. When you change
the interval, all the AM preset stations are erased. To
reset the interval, repeat the same procedure.
Tips
• The preset stations are retained for about a day even
if you disconnect the power cord or if a power
failure occurs.
• You can label the preset stations (see page 16).
• To improve the broadcast reception, adjust the
supplied antennas, or connect a commercially
