You can search or specify the frequency of the desired FM/AM station automatically or manually (see “Basic tuning

operations” on this page).

Preset tuning mode (PRESET TUNING)

You can preset the desired FM/AM station in advance, and then recall the station by specifying the preset group and

number (see “Using station preset feature” on page 54).

Note

Orient the connected FM and AM antennas for the best reception.
