Listening to the Radio

When tuned to a station, the Tuned (

) indicator 

appears. When receiving a stereo FM signal, the FM ST 
indicator appears as well.

The [MODE] button is used to select Auto mode or 
Mono mode. In Auto mode, the output will be stereo or 
mono depending on the station being received. In Mono 
mode, the output will be mono regardless of the station.

1

Press the [TUNER] button repeatedly to 
select “FM”.

Alternatively, you can use the CD receiver’s 
[INPUT] button.

2

Use the [

e

TUNING]/[TUNING

r

] buttons to 

tune into a station.

Each time you press a TUNING button, the 
frequency changes 0.05 MHz steps for FM.
If you press and hold a TUNING button, the 
frequency will change continuously. Tuning will 
stop automatically when a frequency on which a 
radio station is broadcasting is found. If you want 
to interrupt this process, press the [CLEAR] button.

Tuning into weak stereo FM stations

If the signal from a stereo FM station is weak, it may be 
impossible to get good reception. In this case, press the 
[MODE] button to switch to Mono mode and listen to 
the station in mono.

1

Press the [TUNER] button repeatedly to 
select “DAB”.

Alternatively, you can use the CD receiver’s 
[INPUT] button.

When tuned into a DAB station, the Tuned (

indicator appears and the DAB indicator as well.

Selecting DAB for the Very First Time

The very first time you select DAB, the Auto Tuning 
function automatically scans the DAB Band III 
(5A–13F) for the multiplexes (i.e., stations) available in 
your area.

Once the scanning process is complete, the first station 
that was detected is selected.

Using the Scan Function Manually

If a new DAB station is introduced, or you move to a new 
area, you can run the Auto Tuning function manually.

Note:

• When you rescan for DAB stations, the previously 

memorized stations will be cleared.
