Listening to FM and AM Broadcasts
Setting the Tuner Interval Spacing
You can select 10 kHz or 9 kHz apart for the AM tuner
interval spacing and 100 kHz or 50 kHz apart for the FM
tuner interval spacing.
• You need to do this setting separately for each band.

Press TUNER/BAND to select either
"FM" or "AM."
The unit automatically turns on and tunes in to
the previously received station—either FM or
AM.
• Each time you press the button, the band alternates
between FM and AM.

Press VOLUME + while holding
down 7.
• Each time you press VOLUME +, the
interval spacing alternates as follows:

100K (100 kHz) Ô 50K (50 kHz)
When you change the setting
The preset stations are erased. You will need to preset the stations
again. (See page 11.)
