Tuner
The FM reception is poor.
• Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied)
to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM
antenna (aerial) as shown below. If you
connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna
(aerial), ground it against lightning. To
prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the
ground wire to a gas pipe.
Radio stations cannot be tuned in.
• Check that the antennas (aerials) are
connected securely. Adjust the antennas
(aerials) and connect an external antenna
(aerial), if necessary.
• The signal strength of the stations is too
weak (when tuning in with automatic
tuning). Use direct tuning.
• Make sure you set the tuning interval
correctly (when tuning in AM stations
with direct tuning).
• No stations have been preset or the preset
stations have been cleared (when tuning by
scanning preset stations). Preset the
stations (page 54).
• Press DISPLAY repeatedly on the receiver
so that the frequency appears on the
display.
RDS does not work.*
• Make sure that you are tuned to an FM
RDS station.
• Select a stronger FM station.
The RDS information that you want
does not appear.*
• Contact the radio station and find out
whether they actually provide the service
in question. If so, the service may be
temporarily out of order.
* Models of area code CEL, CEK only.

new ones, if they are weak.
• Make sure you select the correct input on
the remote.
• The VIDEO 3 button on the remote is not
available for receiver operation.
