Tips for Better FM Reception
This tuner has two functions designed for better
reception, the FM mode setting and the digital signal
meter. First, try to receive stations with the standard
settings. If the reception is not good, try altering the
reception quality to obtain a clear signal. The tuner
stores the FM mode setting, together with the
frequency when you make a station preset.
Setting the FM mode
Press FM MODE a few times to choose the reception
mode, select either Auto stereo (no indication) or
MONO.
• Auto stereo mode receives stereo broadcasts with
strong signals. Press FM MODE a few times so that
“MONO” disappears.
• “MONO” receives stations with weak signals.
Stations will be received in monaural but with even
less noise.
Checking the signal strength
You can use the digital signal meter to check the signal
strength of FM frequencies. The display range is from
16 to 70 dB (1µV of radio frequency voltage = 0dB). To
obtain a signal to noise ratio sufficient for receiving a
stereo broadcast, we recommend a reading greater
than 50 dB. (You can also change the FM MODE while
using the signal meter to determine the best reception.)
1 Tune in an FM station.
2 Press DISPLAY repeatedly to display the digital
signal meter.
3 Rotate the FM aerial to obtain the strongest signal.
