Listening to the radio
The tuner can receive FM and AM broadcasts, and lets you save your favourite stations so
you don't have to manually tune in every time you want to listen.
1 Press FM/AM TUNER (remote)
If the system was in standby, the power comes on and the display shows the current band
and frequency. Use the FM/AM TUNER button to switch between the AM and FM bands.
• If you're using the front panel, turn the FUNCTION dial to select either AM or FM
radio.
2 Tune to a station.
There are four tuning modes: preset, step and auto and hi-speed tuning.
Preset: See page 25 for more on how to save and recall station presets.
Step tuning: Use 4 and ¢ to step through the frequency band in either
direction.
Auto tuning: Press and hold 4 or ¢ until the frequency display starts to move
(about 1 second), then release. The tuner will stop on the next station it finds. Repeat to
search for other stations.
Hi-speed tuning: Press and hold 4 or ¢ until the frequency starts to change
at high speed (after about 4 seconds). Keep the button pressed until you reach the
frequency you want, then release. Use step tuning to fine-tune the station.

Improving stereo FM sound
If you're listening to an FM station in stereo but the reception is weak, you can improve
the sound quality by switching to mono. Press MONO (remote only) to switch between
mono and auto stereo (if the broadcast is stereo, you'll hear it in stereo). The mono
indicator ( )lights when listening in mono.
Listening to a connected component
If you connected another component, such as an MD player or turntable, to the
AUX IN jacks on the rear panel, just switch to auxiliary and start playback of your
connected component. Press AUX (remote) or turn the FUNCTION dial (front panel) to
select auxiliary. (The AUX button (remote) will switch this unit on if it was in standby,
but you'll have to take care of the connected component!)
