Listening to the radio
The tuner can receive both FM and AM broadcasts, and
lets you memorize your favorite stations so you don’t have
to manually tune in every time you want to listen.

Switch to the tuner, then press repeatedly to
select the FM or AM band.
The display shows the band and frequency.

speed:
•

repeatedly to
change the displayed frequency.

switching to mono.

Improving poor AM sound
The simplest way to improve the sound quality of AM
radio is to make sure that the TV in the room is switched
off. Also try changing the position and direction of the
