TUNING THE RADIO

Your receiver has four types of electronic tuning — manual, 
automatic, direct, and memory.

Note:

 To listen to stations with weak signals, we recommend manual 

tuning.

Manual and Automatic Tuning

1. Press 

FM

 or 

AM

 on the front panel (or on the remote control) to 

select the desired band. The receiver tunes to that band and 
displays the frequency last selected.

Note: 

If 

CH

 appears on the right side of the display, press 

TUNING MODE

 to switch from preset to manual-tuning mode. 

MANUAL

 briefly appears.

2.

To manually select the next higher or lower frequency,

 press 

TUNING

 

UP

 or 

DOWN

. Hold down 

UP

 or 

DOWN

 to rapidly 

scan up or down through the frequencies. Release the button to 
stop scanning.

To automatically search for the next higher or lower frequency with a 
strong signal,

 briefly hold down 

TUNING

 

UP

 or 

DOWN

. The 

receiver searches up or down the band, stopping on the next 
frequency with a strong signal.

Notes:

TUNED

 appears when the received signal is strong.

STEREO

 appears when the received FM broadcasts are in 

stereo.

• If you press 

TUNING

 

UP

 at the top of the frequency range or 

TUNING

 

DOWN

 at the bottom of the frequency range, the 

frequency at the opposite end of the range appears.

Direct Tuning (Remote Control Only)

1. Press 

FM

 or 

AM

 on the front panel (or on the remote control) to 

select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the 
frequency last selected in that band.

2. Press 

DIRECT TUNING

 on the remote control. 

DIRECT

 

IN

 

scrolls by, followed by 

AM

 

– – – –

 

kHz

 for AM or 

FM

– – –

.

– –

MHz

 for FM. The first 

 flashes.

3. Enter the desired frequency using the remote control’s number 

buttons.

Notes:

• If you press 

1

 to enter a FM frequency, such as 103.5, 

10

 

automatically appears. If you also press the zero, the 
frequency that appears would be 

100.30

.

• The last zero always appears automatically in both FM and 

AM frequencies.

• If you do not press a key within 5 seconds, the receiver exits 

direct tuning. Start over at Step 2.

Memory Tuning

Memory tuning lets you instantly tune to a stored frequency. You can 
store up to 30 AM and 30 FM frequencies in the receiver’s memory. 
The receiver automatically stores the first 30 stations found in the 
selected band into the memory. You can also manually store a station 
into memory.

1. Press 

FM

 or 

AM

 on the front panel (or on the remote control) to 

select the desired band. The receiver tunes to that band and the 
last selected frequency appears.

2. Hold down 

MEMORY

 for more than 2 seconds. 

MEMORY

 and 

CH

 appear and the receiver scans through the frequencies, 

beginning with the low end (87.5 MHz for FM or 530 kHz for 
AM).

3. When the receiver finds a station, it stores it in the first memory 

channel, the selected 

CH

 number appears, and the receiver looks 

for the next station. When the receiver finds the thirtieth station 
or when it reaches the high end of the frequency range, 

MEMORY

 

disappears and the receiver tunes to the lowest frequency station 
in the band.

Repeat these steps to automatically store stations in the other band.

Follow these steps to manually store a station, or to replace a station 
already stored in memory.

1. Press 

FM

 or 

AM

 on the front panel (or on the remote control) to 

select the desired band. The receiver tunes to and displays the 
frequency last selected in that band.

Note:    

If 

CH

 appears on the right side of the display, press 

TUNING MODE

 to switch to manual-tuning mode. 

MANUAL

 

briefly appears.

2. Tune to the desired station (see “Manual and Automatic Tuning” 

on Page 10).

3. Press 

MEMORY

MEMORY

 flashes on the display.

4. While 

MEMORY

 flashes, press 

TUNING

 

UP

 or 

DOWN

 until the 

desired memory channel number appears.

5. Press 

MEMORY

 again to store the station immediately. Or, wait 

about 5 seconds and the station is automatically stored in the 
selected channel.

Notes:    

• If you store a frequency in a memory channel that already 

contains a frequency, you replace the previous frequency.

• If your receiver is disconnected from AC power for several days, 

it loses all the stored frequencies.
