Auto Tuning
Auto tuning will search automatically for stations with a usable signal
strength. To begin searching, press the SEEK key a and the
will scan up the frequency range, locking to the next available station.
Another press will continue station scan. The station frequency and signal
strength can be read from the display.
To stop scanning press the SEEK key again.
Manual Tuning
Manual tuning can be used to set to a known station frequency or to lock
to a weak transmitter, not detected in auto tuning. Rotate the MANUAL
tuning control g until the required frequency is shown on the frequency
display. The frequency will change in steps of 50 kHz.
When a station is correctly tuned, the lock indicator will be displayed. The
signal strength can then be read from the bargraph display.
Fine Tuning
Some radio stations and some cable transmissions may not be set
exactly to their advertised frequency. For precise station alignment, fine
station tuning is available.
Locate your station using either AUTO or MANUAL tuning. Ensure that
the lock indicator on the display is showing. Press the FINE key d. Using
the manual tuning control you can now fine tune the station. When fine
tuning, the bargraph display switches to show a "magic eye" centre tuning
meter. For precise station tuning the black bars on each side of the
display should be of equal length. Press the FINE key again to cancel fine
tuning mode.
Note:
Fine tuning will cancel automatically if no adjustment is made within
a 5 second period.
Storing a Preset Station
Seven preset memories are available on the front panel which may be
programmed with your favourite stations.
Locate the station using either AUTO or MANUAL tuning and fine tune if
.
necessary. Press and hold a PRESET key for about two seconds until the
display blinks. The station is now stored in this preset location. The
will retain preset stations indefinitely and requires no back up-

batteries.
Note:
When NEXT/PREVIOUS station preset commands are received
from a Cyrus system remote control (for example, the Cyrus Audio
Commander or Cyrus MR3) the FM X will automatically skip all unused
presets stored with the frequency of 87.5MHz.
Tuning to a Preset Station
To recall a station from the preset memory, press the desired PRESET

Check for the correct connection of your antenna cable and its

Some stations have high background noise
These may be weaker or more distant stations and therefore may
