Manual Tuning
Follow these steps to manually tune to a radio
station.
1. Press AM or FM to select the band. The display
shows the selected band.
2. Press TUNE or TUNE 4 to tune up or down
the band. The display shows the selected fre-
quency.
Search Tuning
Use search tuning to quickly find strong AM or
FM stations.
1. Press AM or FM.
2. Press AUTO SEARCH to turn on the search func-
tion. AUTO appears on the display.
3. Press TUNE < or TUNE P. The receiver search-
es down or up the selected band until it finds a
strong radio frequency. TUNED, FM STEREO,
or both appear on the display.
Manual and Search Tuning Hints
Use manual tuning to locate a weak FM station. If
reception for the weak station is poor, press FM
MONO so MONO appears on the display. The
sound is no longer in stereo, but reception
improves.
The receiver displays FM frequencies in 0.2 mega-
hertz (MHz) intervals and AM frequencies in 10 kilo-
hertz (KHz) intervals.
If you press TUNE ® when the display is at the
top of the frequency range (AM-1710 kHz, FM-107.9
MHz), the display returns to the bottom of the range
(AM-520 kHz, FM-87.5MH2z). If you press TUNE 4
when the display is at the bottom of the frequency
range, the display returns to the top of the range.
When you select the AM or FM radio band, the
receiver displays the last frequency selected on
that band.
MEMORY TUNING
The memory tuning feature lets you instantly tune
to a frequency you stored in one of 30 memory
locations. Each location can hold an AM or FM
frequency.
To store a frequency, follow these steps.
1. Press AM or FM.
2. Use manual or search tuning to select the fre-
quency you want to store.
3. Press MEMORY. MEMORY flashes on the dis-
play for about 5 seconds.
4. While MEMORY flashes, press the memory
preset button(s) (1-30) to select the desired me-
mory location (for example, press 1 and 4 for
location number 14). This stores the frequency.
To tune to a stored frequency, press the desired
memory location number button(s). If you use
the remote control to tune to a frequency, press
TUNER first, and then press the desired memory
location number.
Notes:
¢ When you store a frequency in a memory location
that already contains a frequency, you replace
the previous frequency.
e If the receiver is disconnected from AC power
for more than three days, it loses all the stored
frequencies.
Scanning Memory Stations
Press MEMORY SCAN to scan the frequencies
stored in memory. The receiver stops for about 5
seconds at each memory location that contains a
frequency so you can hear a station before scan-
ning resumes.
To stop scanning, press MEMORY SCAN again or
any of the memory preset buttons.
RECORDING A TAPE
If you connect a tape deck to the receiver as de-
scribed in “Connecting Audio Sources,” you can
record one of the receiver’s other audio sources
on the deck.
Press PHONO, TV/VCR, CD, AUX, AM or FM to select
the audio source you want to record. Then begin
recording.
