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. If you already know the frequency of
the station you want, see
Tuning directly to a
station below. Once you are tuned to a station
you can memorize the frequency for recall
later—see
Saving station presets on the next
page for more on how to do this.
1 Press FM or AM to select the 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
TUNE /
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
TUNE / .
High speed tuning
Press and hold TUNE /
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.
Tuning directly to a station
Sometimes, you'll already know the frequency
of the station you want to listen to. In this case,
you can simply enter the frequency directly
using the number buttons on the remote
control.
1 Press FM or AM to select the band.
2 Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
3 Use the number buttons to enter the
frequency of the radio station.
For example, to tune to 106.00 (FM), press 1 , 0 ,
6 , 0 , 0 .
If you make a mistake halfway through, press
D.ACCESS twice to cancel the frequency and
start over.
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
