This chapter describes how to receive
FM or AM broadcasts and how to
preset selected stations.
You can tune to stations on this receiver in the following
ways:
Manual Tuning
You can rotate the jog dial to tune to the station you want
(see page 18).
Automatic Tuning
If you don’t know the frequency of the station you want,
you can let the receiver scan all available stations in your
area (see page 19).
Preset Tuning
After you have tuned in stations using Manual Tuning or
Automatic Tuning, you can preset them to the receiver
(see page 19). Then you can tune in any of the stations by
rotating the jog dial (see page 20). Up to 30 FM or AM
stations can be preset.
RDS functions
This receiver also allows you to use RDS (Radio Data
System), which enables radio stations to send additional
information along with the regular program signal. With
this receiver, only the display of program station name is
available.
Note that only FM stations provide RDS services.
*
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the
same types of services. If you aren’t familiar with the RDS services
in your area, check with your local radio stations for details.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
• Connected an FM and AM antenna to the receiver (see
page 5).
