Listening To The Radio Tuner Information This system features a normal AM/FM analog tuning system. Unlike a digital tuner it does not automatically lock in on the exact frequency of a station. However instead of a dial scale and a moving dial pointer we have included a digital frequency display to help you tune more accurately. Do not be concerned if you cannot easily tune the display to the exact frequency of your favorite stations, especially on the AM band.
Hints For Better Reception FM: The FM lead wire antenna on the back panel should be extended to its full length. You may also have to vary the direction of this antenna until you find the position that provides the best reception. AM: The AM bar antenna is inside the cabinet of the main unit. You may need to change the position of the main unit until you find the position that provides the best reception for your favorite AM stations. 13 MS7618R_062205.
