Once a frequency is assigned to a Button in Bank (8), you
just need to press that Button to tune it in.
This also causes the number of the button pressed to appear at Position

Preset Scan Tuning
This function lets you automatically monitor the stations assigned to the
preset buttons.
1. Press the button &), and the preset number @ flash.
Each station assigned to the buttons in Bank (8) will be automatically
tuned in for about eight seconds.
2. When you hear a station that you like, press button (6) again to can-
cel preset scan tuning and remain at that station.
BSM (Best Stations Memory)
This function automatically locates stronger stations and automatically
assigns their frequencies to the buttons in Bank (8), from strongest to
weakest. It comes in handy when trying to find local stations while driving.
1. Press button (2) and select a band.
2. Hold down button (4). After about two seconds, a ‘‘beep’’ will sound
to signal that the BSM search has started. At this time, ‘’ - - - -
will flash on the display.
3. The frequency display will return once BSM search is complete, and
frequencies are assigned to buttons 1 through 6 in Bank ©).
e At the end of the BSM search, the displayed frequency is that assigned
to button [1 ] of Bank @).
e tf there are fewer than six strong stations in the area, some of the
buttons in Bank (8) will not be assigned frequencies, so they will retain
any frequencies assigned to them previously.
¢ BSM search may take as long as 30 seconds in areas where there
are few strong stations.
¢ You can cancel BSM search by pressing button (@) again.
Manual Tuning
Use manual tuning when stations are too weak to be picked up by seek
tuning.
1. Press both (+) and (—) sides of button (@) simultaneously to illuminate
“MANU” @
2. Each press of the (+) side of button @) increases the frequency
in 50 kHz steps in the FM band, 9 kHz in the MW band and 1 kHz
in the LW band. Pressing the (—) side of button @) decreases the
frequency. Holding down either side of button @) changes the frequency
at high speed.

Switching between FM Stereo and Mono
Generally, it is best to allow the ARC (Automatic Reception Control) func-
tion to automatically set the optimum listening conditions. When there
is a large amount of noise, you can press button (7) for clearer mono recep-
tion (“MONO” @® will appear on the display).
Adjusting Seek Sensitivity
The seek tuning function of this tuner lets you select between a local
setting for reception of strong stations only, and a DX (distant) setting
for reception of weaker stations. The local setting also has four seek tuning
sensitivity levels for FM and two levels for MW/LW to match local
conditions.
Changing the Local Seek Sensitivity
1. Use button (2) to select a band.
2. Hold down the button ©) for more than two seconds, and the display
will show you the current local seek sensitivity for about five seconds.
(Example: LOC-2)
3. While the local seek sensitivity remains on the display, press the (+)
side of button @) to increase the sensitivity level, and the (—) side
to decrease the level as shown below.
FM : LOC-1=®LOC-22%LOC-3<2LOC-4
MW/LW: LOC-12®LOC-2
The LOC-4 setting allows reception of only the strongest stations, while
lower settings let you receive progressively weaker stations.
e The display of local seek sensitivity returns to the frequency when about
five seconds have elapsed after the change of sensitivity.
Switching between Local and DX
Press button (6) to switch between Local and DX (distant) seek tuning.
When “LOC” @ is shown on the display, seek tuning is performed with
the local seek sensitivity. Otherwise, seek tuning is performed with the
DX seek sensitivity.
