Tuner To change the AM tuning interval (except for the European model) The AM tuning interval is factory-preset to 9 kHz (10 kHz for some areas). To change the AM tuning interval, tune in any AM station first, then turn off the system. While holding down FUNCTION on the system, turn the system back on. When you change the interval, all the AM preset stations are erased. To reset the interval, repeat the same procedure. Tips • The preset stations are retained for about a day even if you disconnect the power cord or if a power failure occurs. • You can label the preset stations (see page 16). • To improve the broadcast reception, adjust the supplied antennas, or connect a commercially available external antenna.
