Scanning broadcast stations

When you press RPT/SCAN while listening to the radio, station scanning starts. Each time a
broadcast is tuned in, scanning stops for about 5 seconds (tuned frequency number flashes
on the display), and you can check what program is now being broadcasted.

If you want to listen to that program, press the same button again to stop scanning.

Selecting FM reception sound

When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive:
Press MO/RND (Mono/Random) while listening to an FM stereo broadcast. The sound you
hear becomes monaural but reception will be improved.

To restore the stereo effect, press the same button again.
