Chapter 8:
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. Once you are tuned to a station you
can memorize the frequency for recall later—
see
Saving station presets
on page 46 for more
on how to do this.
1
Press AM or FM to select the tuner band
you want to listen to.
2
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
/
–
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
/–
.
High speed tuning
Press and hold
/–
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.
Saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station,
it's convenient to have the receiver store the
frequency for easy recall whenever you want to
listen to that station. This saves the effort of
manually tuning in each time. This unit can
memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three
banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations
each. When saving an FM frequency, the
MPX
setting (see
Improving FM stereo sound
above)
is also stored. Use the front panel controls to
store station presets.
