Using the tuner
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 55 for more on how to do this.
1 Press the TUNER button to select the
tuner.
2 Use the BAND button 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 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 stereo sound
If the
TUNED
or
STEREO
indicators don't light
when tuning to an FM station because the
signal is weak, press the
MPX
button to
switch the receiver into mono reception
mode. This should improve the sound quality
and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.
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 the TUNER button to select the
tuner.
2 Use the BAND button to change the
band (FM or AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM
and AM.
