Channel Step Setting (multi-voltage model only)

The unit has been factory preset to the channel allocation value for the area in which it is to be sold. If this value is
set incorrectly, the tunes in frequency may be wrong, or sound may be distorted, resulting in an inability to
reproduce reception signals at their proper sound quality. For this reason, be sure to confirm that the values are set
correctly before first using the unit.

FM 50 kHz, AM 9 kHz:

Set to this position, for areas with an FM reception step of 50 kHz and AM 9 kHz.

FM 100 kHz, AM 10 kHz:
