With the built-in tuner you can enjoy AM and FM radio
stations. You can store your favorite radio stations as pre-
sets for quick selection.
Tuning into Radio Stations
Notes:
• The tuner frequency changes in 0.1 MHz steps for FM
and 10 kHz steps for AM (0.05 MHz and 9 kHz
respectively on some models).
■
Listening to Stereo FM Radio Stations
When the DTR-8.4 is properly tuned to a radio station,
the “ TUNED ” indicators appear on the display.
When the DTR-8.4 is properly tuned to a stereo FM
radio station, the “FM STEREO” indicator appears as
well.
If the signal from a stereo FM station is weak, it may be
impossible to achieve good reception. If this happens,
press the DTR-8.4’s [FM Mode] button to listen to the
station in mono (the “AUTO” and “FM STEREO” indi-
cators go off).
■
Specifying Radio Stations by Frequency
To select a radio station by entering its frequency, press
the remote controller’s [Direct Tuning] button, and then
use the number buttons to enter the frequency.
Presetting Radio Stations
You can store up to 40 AM and FM radio stations as pre-
sets.
Using the Tuner
1
Use the [Tuner] input selector
button to select either AM or FM.
2
Use the DTR-8.4’s Tuning Up/
Down [ ]/[ ] buttons to tune
into a station.
The following illustration shows the
tuner-related indicators on the display.
To locate an FM station automatically,
press and hold the Tuning Up or Down
[ ]/[ ] button for more than 1/2 a
second. The DTR-8.4 scans the FM
band up or down, depending on which
button you pressed, stopping when a
stereo FM station is found.
