Before receiving broadcasts, make sure you
have connected FM and AM antennas to the
receiver (see page 6).

If you cannot tune in a station and the
entered numbers flash
Make sure you’ve entered the right
frequency. If not, repeat steps 3 and 4.

close to the frequency you want. The receiver
automatically tunes in the station you want. If the
frequency seems to be higher than the entered
value, press TUNING +, and if the frequency seems
to be lower than the entered value, press
TUNING –.
• If “STEREO” flashes in the display and the FM
stereo reception is poor, press FM MODE to
improve the sound. You will not be able to enjoy
the stereo effect, but the sound will be less
distorted.
Note
If “STEREO” does not appear at all when an FM
broadcast is received normally, press FM MODE to
turn on the “STEREO” indication.
