Receiver Operations
Presetting Radio Stations
You’ll most likely want to preset the receiver with the
radio stations you listen to often so that you don’t have
to tune in the station every time. The receiver can store
a total of 30 FM or AM stations. You can store the
stations on preset numbers combining 3 characters (A,
B and C) and numbers (0-9). For example, you can
store a station as preset number A1, B6, or C9.
1
Press TUNER.
The last received station is tuned in.
2
Tune in the station you want.
If you are not familiar with how to tune in a
station, see “Receiving Broadcasts” on the
previous page.
3 Press MEMORY.
“MEMORY” appears for a few seconds.
Do steps 4 and 5 before “MEMORY” goes out.
4
Press SHIFT to select a memory page (A, B or C).
Each time you press SHIFT, the letter “A”, “B” or
“C” appear in the display.
5
Press the number you want to use (0 to 9).
If “MEMORY” goes out before you specify the preset
number, start again from step 3.
6 Repeat steps 2 to 5 to preset other stations.
To change a preset station
Preset a new station on the number you want to change.
Note
If the AC power cord is disconnected for about one week,
the preset stations will be cleared from the receiver’s
memory, and you will have to preset the stations again.

If an FM stereo program is distorted
The STEREO indicator flashes. Press FM MODE to
change to monaural (MONO). You will not have the
stereo effect but the distortion will be reduced. To
return to the auto stereo mode, press this button again.
If you cannot tune in a station and the entered
numbers are flashing
Make sure you’ve entered the right frequency. If not,
press DIRECT and reenter the frequency you want.
If the entered numbers still flash, the frequency is not
used in your area.
To watch FM simulcast TV programs
Make sure that you tune in the simulcast program on
both the TV (or VCR) and the receiver.
If you enter a frequency not covered by the tuning
interval
The entered value is automatically rounded up or down
to the closest covered value.
Tuning intervals for direct tuning are:
FM: 50 kHz intervals
AM: 10 kHz intervals (to change to 9 kHz intervals, see
page 23)
Receiving broadcasts by scanning stations
(automatic tuning)
If you don’t know the frequency of the radio station
you want, you can have the receiver scan all the
receivable stations to locate the one you want.

scanning. To continue scanning, press the button
again.
