Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and 
AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and 
manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the 
frequency of the station you want, see Tuning directly to a 
station
 below. Once you are tuned to a station you can 
memorize the frequency for recall later—see Saving 
station presets
 below for more on how to do this.
1
Press TUNER to select the tuner.
2
Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM), if 
necessary.
3
Tune to a station.
There are three ways to do this:
Automatic tuning – To search for stations in the 
currently selected band, press and hold TUNE 
/ 
for about a second. The receiver will start searching 
for the next station, stopping when it has found one. 
Repeat to search for other stations.
Manual tuning – To change the frequency one step 
at a time, press TUNE 
/.
High speed tuning – Press and hold TUNE 
/ for 
high speed tuning. Release the button at the 
frequency you want.
Improving FM sound
If the TUNED or STEREO indicator doesn’t light when 
tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press 
MPX to switch the receiver into mono reception mode. 
This should improve the sound quality and allow you to 
enjoy the broadcast.
Using Neural Surround
This feature uses Neural Surround™ technologies to 
achieve optimal surround sound from FM radio.
• While listening to FM radio, press AUTO/ALC/
DIRECT for Neural Surround.
The Neural Surround mode can be selected also with 
STANDARD.
Tuning directly to a station
1
Press TUNER to select the tuner.
2
Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM), if 
necessary.
3
Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).
4
Use the number buttons to enter the frequency of 
the radio station.
For example, to tune to 106.00 (FM), press 10600.
If you make a mistake halfway through, press D.ACCESS 
twice to cancel the frequency and start over.
Saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it’s 
convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for 
easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. 
This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This 
receiver can memorize up to 63 stations, stored in seven 
banks, or classes (A to G) of 9 stations each.
1
Tune to a station you want to memorize.
2
Press T.EDIT (TUNER EDIT).
The display shows PRESET MEMORY, then a blinking 
memory class.
3
Press CLASS to select one of the seven classes, then 
press PRESET 
/ to select the station preset you 
want.
You can also use the number buttons to select a station 
preset.
4
Press ENTER.
After pressing ENTER, the preset class and number stop 
blinking and the receiver stores the station. 
Naming station presets
For easier identification, you can name your station 
presets. 
1
Choose the station preset you want to name.
See Listening to station presets below for how to do this.
2
Press T.EDIT (TUNER EDIT).
The display shows PRESET NAME, then a blinking cursor 
at the first character position.
3
Input the name you want.
Use 
/ to select a character, / to set the position, 
and ENTER to confirm your selection.
 Tip
• To  erase a station name, simply repeat steps 1 to 3 
and input eight spaces instead of a name.
• Once you have named a station preset, you can press 
DISP when listening to a station to switch the display 
between name and frequency.
Listening to station presets
1
Press TUNER to select the tuner.
2
Press CLASS to select the class in which the station

/ to select the station preset you 
want.
• You can also use the number buttons on the remote 
control to recall the station preset.
