A radio station can be tuned either by auto tuning or manual tuning according to the current
reception condition.
(1) Press the SET/TUNING MODE key on the main unit (or the REPEAT/AUTO/MANU. key
on the remote) to select AUTO or MANUAL tuning mode.
When “AUTO” is lit : Indicates the auto mode (stereo reception) which is suitable
when the receiving condition is good.
When “AUTO” is not lit : Indicates the manual mode (monaural reception) which is suit-
able when the receiving condition is poor.
÷ Usually leave “AUTO lit (auto tuning mode, stereo reception).
(2) “AUTO” or “MANUAL” is displayed when you press SET/TUNING MODE key, then
press the 4/TUNINGfi or %TUNING/¢ key on the main unit to receive the de-
sired station.
Pressing the 1 TUNINGfi or ¡ TUNING% key on the remote will enable you to
select the desired station.
Auto tuning : Each press of the key tunes the next station automatically.
Manual tuning : Press and hold the key until the next station is tuned.
÷ When the unit is in STANDBY mode (page 63), simply pressing the TUNER FM/AM key (or the FM/
AM key on the remote) switches the power ON and radio reception starts automatically. (One-
touch operation)
÷ During tuning, pressing and holding the 4/TUNINGfi or %TUNING/¢ key on the main unit (or
the 1 TUNINGfi or ¡ TUNING% key on the remote) makes it possible to skip undesired
stations that may be received before the target station.
