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.
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.

when tuning to a stereo 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.

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. This saves the effort of manually tuning in
each time.
You can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three
banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When
saving an FM frequency, the MPX setting (see above) is
also stored.
