your area. For the USA and Canada, select USA; the Europe setting is correct for most other areas...
or just select the one that sounds the best to you.)

frequency band and preload as many strong stations as it can detect into the FM tuner’s 15
station presets. After pressing the Right button to start the Autotune process, it will proceed and
complete automatically.

The Tuner Section
The Tuner Section of the Menu System gives you access to the functions necessary to program

Input was selected when you entered the Menu System.)

arrow buttons to change to a dierent Preset; use the Left Button to exit when you’re done.
Save - Allows you to save the currently selected frequency to a Tuner Preset.
Press the Right button to select Save; the current Frequency and Preset will be shown. Use the
Volume knob or Up / Down buttons to select the Preset you wish to save; the currently selected
combination of Frequency and Preset will be continuously displayed. Press the Right button to
save the displayed Frequency to the displayed Preset.
Mono/St - Instructs the tuner to play a weak FM station in monaural.
Because of the way FM broadcasts are encoded, stereo FM broadcasts often exhibit an
unacceptably high amount of background noise if the signal is too weak. If this occurs, switching
the decoder to monaural mode will often improve the signal quality signicantly. This may enable
you to receive more stations in “listenable quality”.
Press the Right button to enter the Menu item, use the Up / Down buttons or Volume knob to
select Mono or Stereo; use the Left Button to exit when you’re done.
Note: The Mono/St setting ONLY aects stereo FM broadcasts. It has no eect on monaural FM
boradcasts and does NOT convert other types of stereo audio inputs to monaural.
