Tips • If you do not remember the precise frequency, press TUNING + or TUNING - after entering the value close to the frequency you want. The receiver automatically tunes in the station you want. If the frequency seems to be higher than the entered value, press TUNING +, and if the frequency seems to be lower than the entered value, press TUNING -. • If "STEREO" flashes in the display and the FM stereo reception is poor, press FM MODE to change to monaural (MONO). You will not be able to enjoy the stereo effect, but the sound will be less distorted. To return to stereo mode, press FM MODE again.

Preset tuning After you have tuned in stations using Direct Tuning or Automatic Tuning, you can preset them to the receiver.

The receiver will also scan all the stations that you have preset. Before tuning to preset stations, be sure to preset them by performing steps on "Presetting radio stations". 32GB
