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
below 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
indicator doesn’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 Neural Surround
This feature uses Neural Surround™
technologies to achieve optimal surround
sound from FM radio.
• While listening to FM radio, press
AUTO/
ALC/DIRECT
for Neural Surround
listening.
See
Auto Surround, ALC and Stream Direct with
different input signal formats
on page 121 for
The
NEURAL SURROUND
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.
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
Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
4
Use the number buttons to enter the
frequency of the radio station.
For example, to tune to
106.00
(FM), press
1
,
0
,
6
,
0
,
0
.
If you make a mistake halfway through, press
D.ACCESS
twice to cancel the frequency and
start over.
Saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station,
it’s convenient to have the receiver store the
frequency for easy recall whenever you want to
listen to that station. This saves the effort of
manually tuning in each time. This receiver can
memorize up to 63 stations, stored in seven
banks, or classes (A to G) of 9 stations each.
When saving an FM frequency, the
MPX
setting (see above) is also stored.
1
Tune to a station you want to memorize.
See
Listening to the radio
above for more on
this.
