Basic Operation
Tuning the Radio
Your receiver has four types of electronic tuning — manual, automatic,
direct access, and memory.
Manual and Automatic Tuning
Follow these steps to manually or automatically tune to stations.
Note: If none of the tuning buttons on the remote control operate, press
TUNER
first.
1. Press
FM/AM
on the front panel (or repeatedly press
FUNC
on the
remote control so the band name and frequency appears on the
display) to select the tuner.
2. Press
FM/AM
again (
BAND
on the remote control) to select the desired
band. The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency last
selected in that band.
If
A, B, or C and a single digit number appear to the left of the sta-
tion frequency, press
TUNING SELECT
(
BAND
on the remote control) so
the band name (
AM or FM) appears.
3. To manually select the next lower or higher frequency, press
TUNING
once to manually select the next lower or higher fre-
quency. Or, hold down the button to rapidly change frequencies,
and release it.
To automatically search for the next lower or higher station, hold
down
TUNING
until the display starts to change, then release
it. The receiver searches down or up the band to the next strong
station.
Notes:
•
TUNED appears when you receive a strong signal.
• If you press
TUNING
at the top of the frequency range or
TUNING
at the bottom of the frequency range, the display
returns to the other end of the range.
Direct Access Tuning (Remote Control Only)
Follow these steps to directly enter a frequency.
1. Press
TUNER
to select the tuner. Then press
BAND
to select the
desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency
last selected in that band.
2. Press
DIRECT ACCESS
. __ __ __ __ appears on the display
with the first
__ flashing.
3. Enter the desired frequency using the number buttons.
Notes:
• If you enter an invalid frequency (for example, entering 828), the
receiver tunes to the closest valid frequency (830 kHz).
• If you do not press a key within 5 seconds, the receiver exits direct
access tuning. Start over at Step 2.
Notes:
• A class is a group of up to 10 station
frequencies.
• For weak signals, we recommend
manual tuning.
