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. 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 (stereo or
mono) 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
TUNE
or
ST
indicators don’t light when tuning to an FM
station because the signal is weak, set the receiver to the
mono reception mode.
Press
BAND
to select FM MONO.
This should improve the sound quality and allow you to
enjoy the broadcast.
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 unit can memorize
up to 30 stations.
