‘On’. The touch panel display lighting turns on. Also press the
Subwoofer POWER button, on the Subwoofer only, to turn the
Subwoofer ‘On’ if necessary.
2.) Press the TUNER/BAND button to select the Tuner function if
necessary. An AM or FM radio frequency will appear on the

switch between AM and FM bands.
3.) Press the or buttons to tune to the frequency of your desired station as follows:
• Manual Tuning
Repeatedly press the or buttons until the display shows the frequency of the desired station. Use
this method when tuning in weak or distant stations. If the you tune to an FM Stereo station the ST
indicator will appear in the display.
• Automatic Tuning
Depress the or buttons until the display begins to move, then release the buttons. The tuner will
search up or down for the next strong station and stop on that station. Repeat this procedure until the
tuner stops on the desired station.
4.) Adjust the main VOLUME, EQ, X-BASS, and Subwoofer VOLUME controls as desired.
5.) When you are finished listening press the POWER button to shut the system ‘Off’. The touch panel
display lighting goes off and the display again shows the correct time.
Note: It is not necessary to manually shut off the Subwoofer power each time you switch the main
power off. However if you do not plan to use the system again for a long period of time it is
recommended to manually switch the Subwoofer power ‘Off’.
Note: The system will remember the last station you were listening to before you shut the power off,
plus the volume level, EQ setting, X-Bass setting and FM mode setting. It will automatically return to
the same station and same setting when the power is switched ‘On’ again.
