Using the tuner
Listening to the radio broadcasts
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM
radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual
(step) tuning functions. Once you are tuned to a station you
can memorize the frequency for recall later. See Saving
station presets below for more on how to do this.
1
Press TUNER to select the tuner.
2
Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM (stereo or
mono) and AM.
3
Tune to a station.
There are 2 ways to do this:
Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently selected band,
press and hold TUNE / for about a second. The
receiver will start searching for the next station, stopping
when it has found one. Repeat to search for other
stations.
Manual tuning
To change the frequency one step at a time, press
TUNE /.
– Lights when a monaural FM broadcast
channel is being received.
– Lights when a stereo FM broadcast is being
received.
– Lights when a AM broadcast is being received.
Improving FM sound
If the or indicators don’t light when
tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, set the
receiver to the mono reception mode.
1
Press BAND to select FM MONO.
This should improve the sound quality and allow you to
enjoy the broadcast.
Saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it’s convenient
to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall
whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the
effort of manually tuning in each time. This receiver can
memorize up to 40 stations.
1
Tune to a station you want to memorize.
See Listening to the radio broadcasts above for more on
this.

the station.
Note
• If the receiver is left disconnected from the AC power outlet
for over a month, the station memories will be lost and will
have to be reprogrammed.
• Stations are stored in stereo. When the station is stored in
the FM MONO mode, it shows as when
recalled.

above if you haven’t done this already.
1
Press PRESET / to select the station preset you
want.
You can also use the numeric buttons.

Changing the noise cut mode (X-HM82, XC-HM82
