Receiving Broadcasts
You can tune in a radio station directly or you can have the receiver scan all the stations until it finds the one
you want. Once you preset stations on the receiver, you do not have to tune in the station every time.
Direct Tuning
Use direct tuning if you know the frequency of the station
you want. For example, to tune in FM 102.50 MHz, press
"1", “0", "2", "5" and "0".
If you enter a frequency not covered by the tuning interval,
the entered value is automatically rounded up or down to
the closest covered value.
Tuning intervals for direct tuning are set as follows:
FM: 50 kHz interval
AM: 10 kHz interval (changeable to the 9 kHz interval)
(See page 43)

Rotate the FUNCTION knob to select TUNER.
The station's frequency number is displayed. If you
create a station index name (page 24), this name is
displayed instead of the frequency number.
Press FM/AM to select FM or AM.
Press DIRECT.
To change the frequency
Repeat steps 3 and 4.
If you enter a non-receivable frequency
The entered digits blink in the frequency display area, and
the station is not tuned in.
If this occurs, enter the correct frequency.
The frequency range of the receiver is as follows:
• U.S.A. and Canadian models
87.50 to 108.0 MHz for FM, and 530 to 1710 kHz (10 kHz
step) or 531 to 1710 kHz (9 kHz step) for AM
• Australian model
87.50 to 108.0 MHz for FM, and 531 to 1602 kHz (9 kHz
step) for AM
If an FM stereo program is distorted
You might want to change it to monaural. Press the FM
MODE button so that "MONO" appears on the display. You
will not have the stereo effect, but the distortion will be
reduced.
To return to the stereo mode, press the button again.
"AUTO STEREO" appears on the display.
