Basic Operation
Tuning the Radio Your receiver has four types of electronic tuning — manual, automatic,
direct access, and memory.
Manual and Automatic Tuning
Follow these steps to manually or automatically tune to stations.
Note: If none of the tuning buttons on the remote control operate, press
TUNER first.
1. Press FM/AM on the front panel (or repeatedly press FUNC on the
remote control so the band name and frequency appears on the
display) to select the tuner.
2. Press FM/AM again ( BAND on the remote control) to select the desired
band. The receiver tunes to and displays the frequency last
selected in that band.
If A , B , or C and a single digit number appear to the left of the sta-
tion frequency, press TUNING SELECT ( BAND on the remote control) so
the band name ( AM or FM ) appears.
3. To manually select the next lower or higher frequency, press
TUNING once to manually select the next lower or higher fre-
quency. Or, hold down the button to rapidly change frequencies,
and release it.
To automatically search for the next lower or higher station, hold
down
TUNING until the display starts to change, then release
it. The receiver searches down or up the band to the next strong
station.
Notes:
• TUNED appears when you receive a strong signal.
• If you press TUNING at the top of the frequency range or
TUNING at the bottom of the frequency range, the display
returns to the other end of the range.

receiver tunes to the closest valid frequency (830 kHz).
• If you do not press a key within 5 seconds, the receiver exits direct
access tuning. Start over at Step 2.

manual tuning.
