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. Once you are tuned to a station you
can memorize the frequency for recall later—see Saving
station presets below for more on how to do this.
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 (stereo or mono)
and AM.
3
Tune to a station.
There are three 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 TUNE or ST indicators don’t light when tuning to an FM
station because the signal is weak, set the receiver to the
mono reception mode.
Press BAND to select FM MONO.
This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy
the broadcast.
Saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it’s convenient
to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall
whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the
effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit can
memorize up to 30 stations.
1
Tune to a station you want to memorize.
See Listening to the radio on page 31 for more on this.

preset.

station.
Note
• If the receiver is left disconnected from the AC power
outlet for over a month, the station memories will be lost
and will have to be reprogrammed.
• Stations are stored in stereo. When the station is stored
in the FM MONO mode, it shows as ST when recalled.
Listening to station presets
You will need to have some presets stored to do this. See
Saving station presets above if you haven’t done this already.
Press PRESET
/

want.
• You can also use the number buttons on the remote
control to recall the station preset.

stations.

display.

• The name is stored when ENTER is pressed.
Tip
• To erase a station name, follow steps 1 and 2, and press
ENTER while the display is blank. Press TUNER EDIT
while the display is blank, to keep the previous name.
• Once you have named a station preset, Press DISP to
show the name. When you want to return to the frequency
