Listening to the Radio
With the built-in tuner, you can enjoy AM and FM radio
stations.
■
AM Frequency Step Setup (not North America)
You must specify the AM frequency step used in your
area. Note that when this setting is changed, all radio
presets are deleted.
Tuning into AM/FM Radio Stations
■ Auto Tuning Mode
■ Manual Tuning Mode
The American model changes FM frequency in 0.2 MHz
steps, 10 kHz steps for AM. For other models it’s
0.05 MHz steps for FM and 9 kHz (or 10 kHz) steps for
AM.
When tuned into a station, the TUNED indicator
appears. When tuned into a stereo FM station, the FM
STEREO indicator also appears.
Tuning into Weak FM Stereo Stations
If the signal from a stereo FM station is weak, it may be
impossible to get good reception. In this case, switch to
Manual Tuning mode and listen to the station in mono.
Note:
• You can also use the remote controller’s Up and Down
[ ]/[ ] buttons to tune the radio.
