07 Using the tuner Chapter 7: 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.

Each press switches the band between FM (stereo or mono) and AM. 3 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 /. PRESET PRESET PRESET PRESET 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 TUNE or ST indicators don't light when tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press the BAND button to select FM MONO and set the receiver to the 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 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.1 RECEIVER SLEEP TV SOURCE CONTROL RECEIVER INPUT SELECT BD DVD TV INPUT DVR CD CD-R CH AUDIO PARAMETER TOP MENU TUNE TUNER EDIT MASTER TOOLS VOLUME MENU ENTER HOME MENU SETUP iPod CTRL CATEGORY TUNE BAND RETURN DTV/ TV MUTE ADAPTER iPod USB VIDEO TUNER SIRIUS SIGNAL SEL VOL BASS TRE HDD 1 DVD 2 MEMORY VCR 3 DISP Note 1 • If the receiver is left disconnected from the AC power outlet for over a month, the station memories will be lost and will have to be reprogrammed. • Stations are stored in stereo.
