Receiving Broadcasts
This receiver lets you enter a station’s frequency
directly by using the numeric buttons (direct tuning). If
you don’t know the frequency of the station you want,
see “Receiving broadcasts by scanning stations
(automatic tuning)”on this page.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
• Connected an FM/AM antenna to the receiver as
indicated on page 5.
• Selected the appropriate speaker system. (For details,
see “Selecting the speaker system” on page 8.)

both the TV (or VCR) and the receiver.
z If you enter a frequency not covered by the tuning
interval
The entered value is automatically rounded up or down
to the closest covered value.
Tuning intervals for direct tuning are:
FM: 50 kHz intervals
AM: 10 kHz intervals (USA and Canadian model only;
to change to 9 kHz intervals, see page 33.)
9 kHz intervals (Australian model only)
9 kHz intervals (models for all other countries; to
change to 10 kHz intervals, see page 33.)

(automatic tuning)
If you don’t know the frequency of the radio station
you want, you can have the receiver scan all the
receivable stations to locate the one you want.

TUNER indicator lights up.

Press the + button for a higher station number;
press the – button for a lower one. When you tune
past either end of the band, the receiver
automatically jumps to the opposite end and
continues scanning in the same direction. Every
time a station is received, the receiver stops
scanning. To continue scanning, press the button
again.
