TUNING
Selecting the Band
Repeatedly press
BAND
until the de-
sired band appears. To select a spe-
cific band within the SW band,
repeatedly press
SW SELECT
until the
desired meter band appears.
Improving Reception
You can use
DX/LOCAL
to improve
the receiver’s reception when listen-
ing to SW and FM broadcasts.
For improved reception when listen-
ing to a station with a strong but dis-
torted signal, slide
DX/LOCAL
to
LOCAL
.
To reduce interference when using
the Automatic Tuning System (ATS)
to scan and store stations on the FM
band, slide
DX/LOCAL
to
LOCAL
so
the receiver tunes to the stronger lo-
cal station.
Note:
Interference can be caused by
a computer, motor, or other electronic
device nearby. To improve reception,
move the receiver away from these
devices.
To improve reception of stations that
are normally weak, slide the switch to
DX
.
Automatic Tuning System
(ATS)
The receiver features an Automatic
Tuning System which scans all the
available FM, AM, and LW stations
and stores them in a memory loca-
tions for quick tuning.
The receiver tunes to and stores FM
frequencies in the first available
memory location and orders them in
sequence from the lowest to the high-
est frequency.
The receiver tunes to and stores AM
or LW frequencies in the first avail-
able memory location and orders
them according to the frequencies’
strength. The receiver stores the
strongest signal first, then the second
strongest signal next, and so on until
all nine memory location numbers are
occupied.
Follow these steps to set your receiv-
er to tune automatically.
