stereo.
When the MONO indicator is lit on the
display, the sound you hear becomes
monaural but the reception will be improved.
If the sound quality decreases and the
stereo effect is lost while listening to an
FM station
In some areas, adjacent stations may
interfere with each other. If this interference
occurs, this unit can automatically reduce this
interference noise (the initial setting when
shipped from the factory). However, in this
case, the sound quality will be degraded and
the stereo effect will be also lost.
If you do not want to degrade the sound
quality and to lose the stereo effect, rather
than to eliminate the interference noise, see
“To change the FM tuner selectivity-IF
Filter” on page 32.
