To change the AM tuning interval
(except for the European model)
The AM tuning interval is factory-set to 9 kHz
(10 kHz in some areas). To change the AM
tuning interval, press and hold TUNER MEM
on the unit for 4 seconds or more while the
system is turned off. The AM tuning interval is
toggled between 9 kHz and 10 kHz and the
system is automatically turned on. When you
change the interval, all the preset stations are
erased. To reset the interval, repeat the same
procedure.
Tip
The preset stations are retained for half a day even if
you unplug the power cord or if a power failure
occurs.
Listening to the radio
You can listen to a radio station either by
selecting a preset station, or by manually tuning
in the station.
Listening to a preset station

1 Press TUNER (TUNER/BAND on the
remote).
2 Press PRESET (PRESET/CLOCK/TIMER
on the remote) + or – repeatedly to tune
in the desired preset station.
The preset number appears in the display
for a few seconds.

Tips
• To improve AM/FM broadcast reception, adjust the
antennas.
• When an FM stereo program has static noise, press
FM MODE/DIR (FM MODE on the remote)
repeatedly until “MONO MODE” appears. There
will be no stereo effect, but the reception will
improve.
• You can tune in the radio program directly from
other source by pressing TUNER (TUNER/BAND
on the remote) (Automatic Source Selection).
Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
(European model only)
What is the Radio Data System?
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the regular
program signal. This tuner offers convenient
RDS features like station name and program
type display. RDS is available only on FM
stations.*
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are
tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly
or if the signal strength is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they provide the same types of services. If you are
not familiar with the RDS system, check with your
local radio stations for details on RDS services in
your area.
