RADIO OPERATION
The following procedures can also be accomplished by using the remote control. Check the remote control
diagram for the corresponding buttons.
1. Press the STANDBY button (#5) located at the front of the main unit to turn on the system.
2. Press the MODE button (#17) repeatedly to select RADIO mode.
3. Press the AM/FM button (#10) to select AM or FM band.
4. Repeatedly press the TUNING + (#4) button or TUNING - (#3) button to manually tune to a desired
station.
5. To automatically search for stations with strong signals, press and hold either the TUNING + (#4) or
TUNING - (#3) buttons until the frequency read out on display begins to scan then release the
button. The tuner will stop on the first strong station signal it finds.
6. Adjust the sound level by pressing the VOLUME +/- buttons (#8 or #9).
7. Press the TIME ADJ (#6) to show the current time on display. The time will revert back to the station
frequency after about 6 second.
Notes:
• Manual tune to select weaker stations that might be bypassed during automatic tuning.
• If the automatic tuning does not stop on the exact frequency of the station, for example, it stops on
100.9 MHz instead of 100.8 MHz, use the manual tuning method to "fine tune" to the exact frequency of
the desired station.
• If a station is broadcasting in Stereo, the unit will automatically receive the stereo broadcast.
TIPS FOR BEST RECEPTION
AM - The AM antenna is located inside the cabinet of the main unit. If AM reception is weak,
change the
position of cabinet until the internal antenna picks up the strongest signal,
FM - During FM reception, always keep the FM Wire Antenna fully extended. If FM reception is
weak try
repositioning the FM Wire Antenna until you find the strongest signal.
Setting the Radio Station Presets
The unit allows you to store up to 20 FM stations and 20 AM stations for easy recall at any time.
