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.
Hint: 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) until the band name and frequency appears on the
display to select the tuner. Then press
FM/AM
(
ENTER
on the remote
control) again 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
on the front panel until the
band name (AM or FM) appears. You do not need to press
TUNING SE-
LECT
if you are tuning with the remote control.
2. To manually select the next lower or higher frequency, press
TUNING
(
–
TUNE +
on the remote control)
once to manually select
the next lower or higher frequency. 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
TUN-
ING
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. Repeatedly press
FUNC
to select the tuner. Then press
ENTER
to
select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the fre-
quency last selected in that band.
2. Press
MENU
. __ __ __ __ 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.
Note:
For weak signals, we recommend
manual tuning.
