Using the Tuner
Presetting Stations
You can preset up to 30 FM stations and up to 15 AM (MW)

• Preset numbers may have been set to factory test fre-
quencies prior to shipment. This is not a malfunction. You
can preset the stations you want into memory by following
one of the presetting methods below.

To change the preset stations,
repeat the same

CAUTION:
• Even if the system is unplugged or if the
power failure occurs, the preset stations
will be stored for about 24 hours. However,
in case the preset stations are erased, you
will need to preset the stations again.
To Change the FM Reception
Mode
When you are tuned into an FM stereo broadcast, the “ST.”
indicator lights up and you can hear stereo effects.
If an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy, you
can select Monaural mode. Reception improves, but you
lose stereo effect.
FM AUTO mode is also useful to suppress static noise be-
tween stations.
To enter Monaural mode while receiving an FM
broadcast,
press the FM/PLAY MODE button on the Re-
mote Control until “FM MONO” appears on the display. Then,
the “MONO” indicator lights up.
Each time you press the FM/PLAY MODE button, the display
alternates between “FM AUTO” and “FM MONO”.
To restore the stereo effect,
press the FM/PLAY
MODE button on the Remote Control until “FM AUTO” ap-
pears on the display. Then, the “MONO” indicator goes out
and the “ST.” indicator will light up.
Beat Cut (AM (MW) Reception)
Switching the Beat Cut mode may reduce beat noise.
Each time you press the FM/PLAY MODE button while re-
ceiving an AM (MW) broadcast, the Beat Cut mode changes
as follows.

Set to the position where beat noise is small.
• The best position will differ depending on the AM (MW)
broadcast station being received.
• In AM (MW) broadcast, reception sensitivity will be
changed by turning the AM (MW) loop antenna. Turn the
AM (MW) loop antenna for best reception.
