Listening to the radio (FM/AM (MW/SW))
1
Press the BAND button repeatedly to select a
band.
You can select FM AUTO, FM (FM mono), MW,
and SW. The selected band appears in the
display (“FM” appears in the display for both FM
AUTO and FM (FM mono) modes).
2
Use the TUNING/SELECT dial to tune to a
station.
Turn clockwise for higher frequencies and
counterclockwise for lower frequencies. The
current frequency appears in the display. When
the peak frequency is reached, the progression
returns to the lowest band frequencies.
3
Release the TUNING/SELECT dial when the
desired frequency has been reached.
The frequency is instantly received.
Notes on FM stereo reception
• Set this unit to FM AUTO to listen to an FM broadcast in
stereo. The STEREO indicator lights in the display when
an FM stereo broadcast is received.
• When FM stereo reception is intermittent, noisy, or when
the signal is weak, pressing the BAND button to select
FM (FM mono) may improve overall reception of the
signal. If another station is tuned while in FM (FM mono)
mode, this unit automatically switches to FM AUTO
mode.
To change the MW channel space mode
When this unit is shipped, the channel space mode is
set to MW–9 kHz (FM-50 kHz).
If the unit is to be used in North or South America,
set it to MW–10 kHz (FM-100 kHz).
When switching to MW-10kHz
While pressing , press the
button to
turn the unit on to switch to MW–10 kHz. “MW–STEP
kHz 10” appears in the display. (This enables 10 kHz
increment steps in MW frequencies and 100 kHz
increment steps in FM frequencies.)
When switching to AM-9kHz
While pressing PRESET–, press the
button to turn
the unit on to switch to MW–9 kHz. “MW–STEP kHz
9” appears in the display. (This enables 9 kHz
increment steps in MW frequencies and 50 kHz
increment steps in FM frequencies.)

Note:
The built-in ferrite core antenna can pick up interference
from television receivers in the area and thereby disturb
AM (MW/SW) reception.
For AM (MW) and AM (lower frequency SW)
stations, the antenna is located within the unit, so it
is necessary to rotate the unit itself to obtain optimal
reception.
Changing the audio presentation of
the broadcast
Use the SOUND button to adjust the quality or
presentation of the sound of radio and WS BAND
broadcasts. Press the SOUND button repeatedly to
select one of the following effects.
BEAT:
Enhances bass and drums for more dynamic
music presentation.
POP:
Enhances the frequencies common in pop
music for better clarity in music presentation.
CLEAR:
Filters the sound to remove unwanted noise
from the broadcast. This mode is suitable when
listening to the news or other spoken word
programming.
FLAT:
Broadcast is received without any effect added.
