Tip
If you have tuned in an AM station, adjust the
direction of the AM loop antenna (aerial) for
optimum reception.
If you cannot tune in a station
“– – – .– – MHz” appears and then the display
returns to the current frequency.
Make sure you have entered the right
frequency. If not, repeat step 5. If you still
cannot tune in a station, the frequency is not
used in your area.
This receiver also allows you to use RDS
(Radio Data System), which enables radio
stations to send additional information along
with the regular program signal. You can
display RDS information.
Select a station on the FM band you
want to listen to using Auto Tuning
(page 65) or Direct Tuning.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
