Using the tuner
Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and
AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and
manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the
frequency of the station you want, see
Tuning directly to a
station
below. Once you are tuned to a station you can
memorize the frequency for recall later—see
Saving
station presets
on page 35 for more on how to do this.
1
Press the TUNER button to select the tuner.
2
Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or
AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
3
Tune to a station.
There are three ways to do this:
Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently selected band,
press and hold
TUNE
/
for about a second. The
receiver will start searching for the next station,
stopping when it has found one. Repeat to search for
other stations.
Manual tuning
To change the frequency one step at a time, press
TUNE
/
.
High speed tuning
Press and hold
TUNE
/
for high speed tuning.
Release the button at the frequency you want.
Improving FM stereo sound
If the
TUNED
or
STEREO
indicators don’t light when
tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press
the
MPX
button to switch the receiver into mono
reception mode. This should improve the sound quality
and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.
Using Neural THX
This feature uses Neural Surround™ technology to
achieve optimal surround sound from FM radio.
• While listening to FM radio, press
S.DIRECT
for
Neural THX listening.
See
About Neural Surround
on page 92 for more on this.
The
Neural THX
mode can be selected also with the
STANDARD
button.
Tuning directly to a station
Sometimes, you’ll already know the frequency of the
station you want to listen to. In this case, you can simply
enter the frequency directly using the number buttons on
the remote control.
1
Press the TUNER button to select the tuner.
2
Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or
AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and AM.
3
Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
4
Use the number buttons to enter the frequency of
the radio station.
For example, to tune to
106.00
(FM), press
1
,
0
,

,
0
.
If you make a mistake halfway through, press

twice to cancel the frequency and start over.
