RADIO OPERATION  

The following procedures can also be accomplished by using the remote control. Check the remote control 

diagram for the corresponding buttons. 

1.  Press the STANDBY button (#5) located at the front of the main unit to turn on the system. 
2.  Press the MODE button (#17) repeatedly to select RADIO mode. 
3.  Press the AM/FM button (#10) to select AM or FM band. 
4.  Repeatedly press the  (#4) button or TUNING - (#3) button to manually tune to a desired 

station. 

5.  

To automatically search for stations with strong signals, press and hold either the

  (#4) or 

TUNING - (#3) buttons 

until the frequency read out on display begins to scan then release the 

button. The tuner will stop on the first strong station signal it finds.

 

6.  Adjust the sound level by pressing the /- buttons (#8 or #9). 
7.  Press the TIME ADJ (#6) to show the current time on display. The time will revert back to the station 

frequency after about 6 second. 

Notes: 
• 

Manual tune to select weaker stations that might be bypassed during automatic tuning. 

• 

If the automatic tuning does not stop on the exact frequency of the station, for example, it stops on 

100.9 MHz instead of 100.8 MHz, use the manual tuning method to "fine tune" to the exact frequency of 
the desired station. 

• 

If a station is broadcasting in Stereo, the unit will automatically receive the stereo broadcast.

 

 

TIPS FOR BEST RECEPTION  
AM  -  The  AM  antenna  is  located  inside  the  cabinet  of  the  main  unit.  If  AM  reception  is  weak, 
change the position of cabinet until the internal antenna picks up the strongest signal,  
FM - During FM  reception, always keep the FM Wire Antenna fully extended.  If FM  reception is 
weak try repositioning the FM Wire Antenna until you find the strongest signal.  

 
Setting the Radio Station Presets 

The unit allows you to store up to 

20 

FM stations and 20 AM stations for easy recall at any time. 

1.) In the FM or AM mode, tune to the radio station you want to store in memory by using 

 (#4) 

or TUNING - (#3) buttons. 

2.) Press 

MEM (#16) 

button. The preset channel number "P01" will be flashing on display. 

3.) To change the preset channel number location, press the  (#21) or PRESET – (#19)

 

buttons to step through the preset locations (P01 – P20)

4.) To confirm the preset location, press the 

MEM 

button. 

5.) To store up to 20 FM and 20AM station presets, repeat steps 1 to 4 above. 

Hints 

This unit features an AUTO SEARCH function that will automatically save the first 20 strong stations 
found. To use this feature, make sure the unit is in Radio mode, select the FM or AM band, press the 
SCAN (#14) button, and the unit will scan from the lowest frequency to the highest frequency within the 
selected frequency band. The first strong radio stations found will be stored in the preset locations 
starting from P01. 

 
Note

1. There is a 5 seconds delay when programming, after 5 seconds, the unit will automatically switch back 

to normal tuner mode. 

2. You can overwrite a present station by saving the new frequency in its place. 
 

Recall Preset Radio Stations 

1.) Set the unit to Radio FM or AM mode. 
2.) Press the  (#21) or PRESET – (#19)

 buttons
