Using the tuner 08 English Deutsch Français Italiano Nederlands Español Chapter 8: 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. If you already know the frequency of the station you want, see Tuning directly to a station below. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the frequency for recall later-see Saving station presets on the next page for more on how to do this.

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 +/-. 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 TUNED or STEREO indicators don't light when tuning to an 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. Tuning directly to a station Sometimes, you'll already know the frequency of the station you want to listen to. In this case, you can simply enter the frequency directly using the number buttons on the remote control. 1 Press the TUNER button to select the tuner. 2 Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary. Each press switches the band between FM and AM. 3 Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access). 4 Use the number buttons to enter the frequency of the radio station. For example, to tune to 106.00 (FM), press 1, 0, 6, 0, 0. If you make a mistake halfway through, press D.ACCESS twice to cancel the frequency and start over. 51 En
