Using the Tuner
With the built-in tuner you can enjoy AM and FM radio
stations. You can store your favorite stations as presets
for quick selection.
Setting the AM Tuning Interval
(Worldwide model only)
If you’re using the Worldwide model (i.e., your AV
Receiver has a VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear
panel), you need to set the AM tuning interval for com-
patibility with AM broadcasts in your particular country.
The initial setting is 9 kHz.
North America: 10 kHz
Other countries: 9 kHz
Note:
All presets will be deleted when you change the AM tun-
ing interval.
■ Auto Tuning Mode
When tuned into an FM station, the TUNED and FM
STEREO indicators appear on the display, as shown.
When tuned into an AM station, the TUNED indicator
appears.
Using RDS (European model only)
When tuned into an RDS (Radio Data System) station
that’s broadcasting PS (Program Service Name) infor-
mation, the RDS indicator appears, and the name of the
station appears on the display. Only European models
support RDS, and only in areas where RDS is used.
■ Manual Tuning Mode
The American model changes FM frequency in 0.1 MHz
steps, 10 kHz steps for AM. For other models it’s
0.05 MHz steps for FM and 9 kHz steps for AM.
In Manual Tuning mode, FM stations will be in mono.
Switch back to Auto Tuning mode for stereo.
Tuning into weak FM stations
If the signal from a stereo FM station is weak, it may be
impossible to get good reception. In this case, switch to
Manual Tuning mode and listen to the station in mono.
Listening to the Radio

button to select either AM or FM.
In this example, FM has been selected.
To set the AM tuning interval,
while holding down the [TUNER]
button, press the [MEMORY] but-
ton.
