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 32 for more on how to do this.
1
Press the
TUNER
button to select the tuner.
2
Use the BAND button 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 stereo sound
If the
TUNED
or
STEREO
indicators don't light when
tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press
the
MPX
button to switch the receiver into mono
reception mode. This should improve the sound quality
and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.
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 the
TUNER
button to select the tuner.
2
Use the BAND button 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 30 stations, stored in three
banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When
saving an FM frequency, the
MPX
setting (see page 32) is
also stored.
1
Tune to a station you want to memorize.
See
Listening to the radio
on page 32 for more on this.

Press T.EDIT (TUNER EDIT).
The display shows
STATION MEMORY
, then a blinking
memory class.
3
Press CLASS to select one of the three classes then
press ST
/
to select the station preset you want.
You can also use the number buttons to select a station
preset.
4
Press
ENTER
.
After pressing
ENTER
, the preset class and number stop
blinking and the receiver stores the station.
