Tuning in to radio stations

Whenever you turn on the radio, the
TUNE button lights up. TUNE is the
key to the tuning function in the
BeoSound Century radio.

When you press TUNE, the buttons on
the system change, so that only the
buttons necessary for tuning in to radio
stations become available.

There are three ways of tuning in to
radio stations:

●

You can make the system do all the
work for you (see how on page 12).

●

You can let the system search for
stations by pressing TUNE then
STEP

STEP.

●

Or, if you know a station’s exact
frequency number, you can key it in
directly by pressing TUNE then the
number, using the number buttons.

The display shows the station’s
frequency number as you go along.

When you have found the station you
want, and you are hearing it clearly in
the loudspeakers, you can store it on a
program number of its own (see how on
page 12).

Note: If you have keyed in a false frequency, the
system automatically returns to the radio program
you were last listening to.

Switching AM/FM bands
In some markets, BeoSound Century
music systems are sold which make
tuning available in both the AM and the
FM bands.

To switch from FM to AM or vice versa,
press TUNE then MODE.
