Listening to Radio Broadcasts
One of the features of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E that
is most frequently used is its ability to play FM and AM
broadcast radio stations. The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E
provides a number of listening modes perfect for listen-
ing to the radio and getting the most out of your audio
system. Also, by presetting radio stations that you listen
to frequently, you can select them easily by pressing the
CH button on the remote controller.
The tuner frequency changes in 100 kHz (50 kHz)
increments for FM and 10 kHz (or 9 kHz) increments
for AM.
You can press the TUNING or button continu-
ously for more than 0.5 seconds to scan for an FM sta-
tion in the direction of the button you pressed (FM
auto tuning mode). After you release the button and a
station is received in stereo, the scanning stops.
The European model allows you to receive RDS
broadcasts. See pages 48 and 49 for more information
regarding tuning into RDS broadcasts.
Listening to a stereo radio station (FM mode)
When you tune into a radio station,
TUNED
indicator appears in the dis-
play. If you tune into an FM station in ste-
reo, then “FM STEREO” appears. If the
signal is weak, it may be impossible to tune
into the station in stereo. In such a case,
press the FM MODE button
on the front
panel. The AUTO indication disappears
and the radio station is output in the mon-
aural mode. To return to stereo, press the
FM MODE button again. “AUTO” appears.
Some inter-station noise may be heard, but
the sound will not cut in and out as it would
if stereo was selected.
