Using the tuner
Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and
AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and
manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the
frequency of the station you want, see
Tuning directly to a
station
below. Once you are tuned to a station you can
memorize the frequency for recall later—see
Saving
station presets
on page 42 for more on how to do this.
1
Press TUNER to select the tuner.
2
Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM), if
necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
3
Tune to a station.
There are three ways to do this:
Automatic tuning
– To search for stations in the
currently selected band, press and hold
TUNE
/
for about a second. The receiver will start searching
for the next station, stopping when it has found one.
Repeat to search for other stations.
Manual tuning
– To change the frequency one step
at a time, press
TUNE
/
.
High speed tuning
– Press and hold
TUNE
/
for
high speed tuning. Release the button at the
frequency you want.
Improving FM sound
If the
TUNED
or
STEREO
indicators don’t light when
tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press
MPX
to switch the receiver into mono reception mode.
This should improve the sound quality and allow you to
enjoy the broadcast.
Using the noise cut mode
The two noise cut modes can be used when receiving AM
broadcasts. Press
MPX
to select the noise cut mode (1 to
2).
Using Neural THX
This feature uses Neural Surround™, THX
®
technologies
to achieve optimal surround sound from FM radio.
• While listening to FM radio, press
AUTO/DIRECT
for
Neural THX listening.
See
About Neural – THX Surround
on page 126 for more
on this.
The
Neural THX
mode can be selected also with
STANDARD

Tuning directly to a station
Sometimes, you’ll already know the frequency of the
station you want to listen to. In this case, you can simply
enter the frequency directly using the number buttons on
the remote control.

2
Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM), if
necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
3
Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
4
Use the number buttons to enter the frequency of
the radio station.
