04 Operation

Listening to the FM radio

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.

1 Press

FM/DAB

repeatedly to select the

FM band.

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 0.5 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.

– Lights when a normal broadcast channel.

– Lights when a stereo FM broadcast is being

received in auto stereo mode.

Note

• You can also use the front panel controls. Press

TUNE/PRESET to enter tuning mode, then use /

– or +/ to change the frequency.

Improving FM sound

If the or indicator does not light when tuning to an

FM station because the signal is weak, set the stereo

receiver to the mono reception mode.

• This should improve the sound quality and allow you

to enjoy the broadcast.

1 Press

FM MODE

to select “

FM MONO

”.

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.

• Stations are stored in stereo.

1 Tune to a station you want to memorize.

See Listening to the FM radio above for more on this.
