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.
Hint: If none of the tuning buttons on the remote control operate, press
TUNER
first.
1. Press
FM/AM
(
BAND
on the remote control) to select the tuner. Then press
FM/AM
(
BAND
) again 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 station fre-
quency, press
SELECT
(
BAND
on the remote control) so the band name (
AM
or
FM
) appears.
2. To manually select the next lower or higher frequency, press
TUNING
(
FREQ
on the remote control)
once to manually select the next lower or
higher frequency. 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
(
FREQ
on the remote control)
until the display starts to
change, then release it. The receiver searches down or up the band to the
next strong station.
Notes:

If you press

the bottom of the frequency range, the display returns to the other
end of the range.

3. Enter the desired frequency using the number buttons.
Notes:
• If you enter an invalid frequency (for example, entering 828), the 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 Step2.
Note: For weak signals, we recommend
manual tuning.
