Tuning to a FM radio station
Tune to FM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) 
and manual (step) tuning functions. Once you are tuned to a 
station, you can memorize the frequency for recall later.
1
Turn on the stereo receiver.
Refer to 
To turn the power on
 on page 13 for details.
2
Press the TUNER button on the remote control to select 
the TUNER input.
You can also select the TUNER input by pressing the INPUT 
button on the remote control repeatedly, or turning the 
SOURCE
 knob on the stereo receiver.

Press the CONTROL RCV button on the remote control.

and FM mono.

(stereo or mono) and DAB (for details on DAB, see

Tune to a station.
Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently selected band, 
press and hold TUNE
/ for about a second. The stereo 
receiver will start searching for a station, and stop when 
it has found one. Repeat to search for other stations.
Manual tuning

TUNE
/.
High speed tuning
Press and hold TUNE
/ for high speed tuning. 
Release the button at the frequency you want.
 – Lights when a normal broadcast channel.
 – Lights when a stereo FM broadcast is being received in 
auto stereo mode.
Improving FM sound
If the 
 or 
 indicator does not light when tuning to an FM 
station because the signal is weak, set the stereo receiver to 
the mono reception mode.
1
Press the CONTROL RCV button on the remote control.
2
Press BAND to select FM MONO.
This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy 
the broadcast.
Saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it is convenient 
to have the stereo 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 unit can 
memorize up to 40 stations.
1
Tune to a station you want to memorize.
See 
Tuning to a FM radio station
 above for more on this.

Press PRESET
/ to select a station preset number.
You can also use the numeric buttons. See 
Direct track search
 
on page 16.

Press ENTER.
The preset number stops blinking and the stereo receiver 
stores the station.
Note
• If the stereo receiver is left disconnected from the AC 
power outlet for over a month, the station memories will 
be lost and will have to be reprogrammed.
• Stations are stored in stereo. Even if the station is stored 
in the FM MONO mode, 
 is displayed when recalled.
