•If automatic tuning stops too frequently, turn on the Local Seek to limit seek to stations with stronger signals (see “Changing the sound and display settings” on page 26).
•If you know the frequency of the station you want to listen to, press and hold either side of (SEEK) to locate the approximate frequency, then press (SEEK) repeatedly to fine adjust to the desired frequency (manual tuning).
If FM stereo reception is poor
Select monaural reception mode
(see “Changing the sound and display settings” on page 26).
The sound improves, but becomes monaural (“ST” disappears).
Note
If interference occurs, this unit will automatically narrow the reception frequency to eliminate noise (IF Auto function). In such cases, some FM stereo broadcasts may become monaural while in the stereo reception mode.
Tip
To always hear FM stereo broadcasts in stereo, you can change the IF Auto setting and widen the frequency signal reception (see “Changing the sound and display settings” on page 26). Note that some interference may occur in this setting.
