Manual tuning is effective when station signals are weak.

1

Rotate the INPUT selector (or press TUNER 

on the remote control) to select TUNER as 

the input source.

2

Press FM/AM on the front panel to select the 

reception band (FM or AM).

3

Press TUNING 

l

 / 

h

 to manually tune into 

the desired station.

Hold down the button to continue tuning search.

• When you tune into a station, the frequency of the received 

station is shown in the front panel display.

• If you tune into an FM station, it is automatically received in the 

monaural mode to increase signal quality.

You can use the automatic preset tuning method to 

automatically store FM stations. This function enables this 

unit to automatically tune into FM stations with strong 

signals and store up to 40 (8 stations in each of the 5 

groups, A1 to E8) of those received stations in order. You 

can then easily recall any preset stations by selecting the 

preset station numbers where they are stored.

• Any station data stored under a preset station number is cleared 

when you store a new station under that preset station number.

• If the number of received stations does not reach 40 (E8), 

automatic preset tuning automatically stops once searching all 

available stations are tuned into and stored.

• Only FM stations with sufficient signal strength are stored 

automatically by automatic preset tuning. If the station you 

want to store is weak in signal strength, try using the manual 

preset tuning method.

Rotate the INPUT selector (or press TUNER 

on the remote control) to select TUNER.
