Listening to the radio
The tuner can receive both FM and AM broadcasts, and lets
you memorize your favorite stations so you don't have to
manually tune in every time you want to listen. Here we run
through the basic tuner controls, including switching between
AM and FM, and tuning to a station. Full instructions for all
the tuner's other features can be found in chapter 6.
