TIPS FOR BEST RECEPTION
AM – The AM antenna is located inside the cabinet of the unit. If AM reception is weak, change the
position of unit until the internal antenna picks up the strongest signal.
FM – During FM reception, always keep the FM WIRE ANTENNA (#15) fully extended for best
performance. However, if FM reception is weak, try repositioning the unit until you get the best
reception.
NOTE:
Automatic tuning depends on the signal strength of the broadcasting station, so weak stations
may be skipped. You can manually tune to find the weak stations if a station gets skipped. With
strong signals, the tuner may stop before it reaches the actual broadcast frequency, so you
may need to manually tune for the best reception.
