Listening to the Radio
The tuner can receive both FM and AM broadcasts, and lets you memorize your
favourite stations so you don't have to manually tune in every time you want to listen.
Here we run through the basic tuner controls, including switching between AM and
FM, and tuning to a station. Full instructions for all the tuner's other features can be
found on pages 27 to 32.
1 Press TUNER to switch to tuner mode.
Press repeatedly to switch between:
FM - AM - STATION
For now, choose either FM or AM — the STATION option is covered on page
27.
2 Tune to a station.
There are three tuning modes—step, auto, and high-speed:
Step tuning: Press the
$ or › button repeatedly to step through
the frequency band in either direction
Auto tuning: Press and hold the
$ or › button until the frequency
display starts to move, then release. The tuner will stop on the next station it
finds. Repeat to search for other stations.
High-speed tuning: Press and hold the
$ or › button until the
frequency display starts to move rapidly. Keep the button held down until you
reach the frequency you want. If necessary, fine tune the frequency using the
step tuning method.
When you're tuned into a station, the tuned indicator lights in the display.
If the station is FM stereo, the stereo indicator lights.
Improving poor FM reception
If you're listening to an FM station in stereo but the reception is weak, you can
improve the sound quality by switching to mono:
