Chapter 7:

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. 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, press the 

BAND

 button to select 

FM 

MONO

 and set the receiver to the mono 

reception mode. 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.
