You can use two tuning modes to tune into the desired FM/AM station:
Frequency tuning mode (AUTO TUNING/MANUAL TUNING)
You can search or specify the frequency of the desired FM/AM station automatically or manually (see “Basic tuning

Preset tuning mode (PRESET TUNING)
You can preset the desired FM/AM station in advance, and then recall the station by specifying the preset group and
number (see “Using station preset feature” on page 54).
