Chapter 8:

Using the tuner

Listening to the radio broadcasts

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM 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 below for more on how to do this.

tune in to the desired station.

Automatic tuning:

Press and hold TUNE +/–, scanning will start automatically

and the tuner will stop at the first receivable broadcast

station.

Manual tuning:

Press the TUNE +/– repeatedly to tune in to the desired

station.

Note

• When radio interference occurs, automatic tuning may

stop automatically at that point.

• Automatic tuning will skip weak signal stations.

• To stop the automatic tuning, press .

• When an RDS (Radio Data System) station is tuned in,

the frequency will be displayed first. Finally, the station

name will appear.

• Full auto tuning can be achieved for RDS stations using

Auto Station Program Memory (ASPM) mode, see

page 25.

To receive an FM stereo transmission:

• Press ST/MONO to select stereo mode and “AUTO” will

be displayed.

Improving poor FM reception:

1 Press ST/MONO repeatedly to select MONO.

This will change the tuner from stereo to mono and usually

improve the reception.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it’s convenient

to have the unit store the frequency for easy recall whenever

you want to listen to that station (Preset tuning). This saves

the effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit can

memorize up to 30 stations.

1 Tune to a station you want to memorize.

See Tuning for more on this.

to store that

If the preset number has changed from flashing to lighting,

before the station is memorized, repeat the operation from

step 2.

• Repeat steps 1 to 4 to set other stations, or to change a

preset station. When a new station is stored in the

memory, the station previously memorized for that

preset channel number will be erased.

Note

• The backup function protects the memorized stations for

a few hours should there be a power failure or the AC

power cord become disconnected.
