Tuner

To change the AM tuning interval

(except for the European model)

The AM tuning interval is factory-set to 9 kHz
(10 kHz in some areas). To change the AM
tuning interval, tune in any AM station first,
then turn off the system. While holding
REPEAT/FM MODE, turn the system back on.
When you change the interval, all the AM
preset stations are erased. To reset the interval,
repeat the same procedure.

Note

You cannot change the AM tuning interval in the
Power Saving Mode.

Tips

• The preset stations are retained for about a day even

if you disconnect the power cord or if a power
failure occurs.

• You can label the preset stations (see page 16).
• To improve broadcast reception, reorient or move

the supplied antennas near a window or outdoors.
