.
The sound improves, but becomes monaural 
(“ST” disappears).
Note
If interference occurs, this unit will automatically 
narrow the reception frequency to eliminate noise (IF 
Auto function). In such cases, some FM stereo 
broadcasts may become monaural while in the stereo 
reception mode.
Tips
• To always hear FM stereo broadcasts in stereo, you 
can change the IF Auto setting and widen the 
frequency signal reception (see “Changing the 
sound and display settings” on page 21
). Note that 
some interference may occur in this setting.
• If FM broadcasts are difficult to hear, set DSO to off
