Playing the Radio AUTO SELECT If you are traveling far from home and can no longer receive your preset stations, you can use the Auto Select feature to find stations in the local area. Press the A. SEL Button. ''A.SEL'' flashes in the display, and the system goes into scan mode for several seconds. It stores the frequencies of six AM, and twelve FM stations in the preset buttons. You will see a ''0'' displayed after pressing a preset button if Auto Select cannot find a strong station for every preset button. If you do not like the stations Auto Select has stored, you can store other frequencies on the preset buttons. Use the TUNE, SEEK, or SCAN functions to find stations, then store them in the preset buttons as described. To turn off Auto Select, press the A. SEL button. This restores the presets you originally set. Adjusting the Sound Press the SOUND (TUNE) knob repeatedly to display the Bass (BAS), Treble (TRE), Balance (BAL), and Fader (FAD) setting. Each mode is shown in the display as it changes. Turn the SOUND (TUNE) knob to adjust the setting to your liking. When the level reaches the center, you will see '' '' in the display. The system will automatically return the display to the selected audio mode about five seconds after you stop adjusting a mode. Treble/Bass Use the TRE/BAS modes to adjust the tone to your liking. Balance/Fader These two modes adjusts the strength of the sound coming from each speaker. BAL adjusts the side-to-side strength, while FAD adjusts the front-to-back strength. Audio System Lighting You can use the instrument panel brightness control knob to adjust the illumination of the audio system (see page 66 ).
