Your radio will play stereo FM broadcasts in stereo provided that the received signal is of adequate 

strength. However, as a stereo signal becomes weaker the audio signal will become poorer. It may be 

preferable to force the radio to play the station in mono in order to reduce the level of background hiss.
1  To reduce the hiss press and release the 

Mono / Stereo 

button until the stereo indicator is 

removed from the display. To return to stereo mode press and release the
