Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to
FM and AM radio broadcasts using the
automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning
functions. If you already know the frequency of
the station you want, see Tuning directly to a
station below. Once you are tuned to a station
you can memorize the frequency for recall
later—see Saving station presets on page 51
for more on how to do this.
1Press
TUNER
to select the tuner.
2
Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM),
if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and
AM.
3 Tune to a station.
There are thr ee ways to do this:
Automatic tuning – To search for stations
in the currently selected band, press and
hold TUNE / for about a second. The
receiver will start searching for the next
station, stopping when it has found one.
Repeat to search for other stations.
Manual tuning – To change the frequency
one step at a time, press TUNE /.
High speed tuning – Press and hold
TUNE / for high speed tuning. Release
the button at the frequency you want.
Improving FM sound
If the TUNED or STEREO indicator doesn’t light
when tuning to an FM station because the
signal is weak, press MPX to switch the
receiver into mono reception mode. This
should improve the sound quality and allow
you to enjoy the broadcast.
Using Neural THX
This feature uses Neural Surround™, THX
®
technologies to achieve optimal surround
sound from FM radio.
• While listening to FM radio, press AUTO/
ALC/DIRECT for Neural THX listening.
See About Neural – THX Surround on page 113
for more on this.
The Neural THX mode can be selected also
with STANDARD.
Tuning directly to a station
Sometimes, you’ll already know the frequency of
the station you want to listen to. In this case, you
can simply enter the frequency directly using
the number buttons on the remote control.
1 Press
TUNER
to select the tuner.
2
Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM),
if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and
AM.
3 Press
D.ACCESS
(Direct Access).
4 Use the number buttons to enter the
frequency of the radio station.
For example, to tune to 106.00 (FM), press 1, 0,
6, 0, 0.
If you make a mistake halfway through, press
D.ACCESS twice to cancel the frequency and
start over.
