See E in LCD Display Examples. Normally, the Advanced Audio System plays FM signals in
stereo. The LCD will indicate STEREO.
However, the stereo receiver has circuits which eliminate or minimize FM flutter due to weak
stereo signals. The circuits detect a weak FM stereo signal and automatically blend it into a
stronger FM mono signal. The transition is smooth and flutter free because it occurs over a range
of signal conditions, rather than at a minimum threshold.
When the system is automatically blending or is receiving an FM mono signal, the stereo indicator
(STEREO) will disappear from LCD screen.
WB
See H in LCD Display Examples. Broadcast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) National Weather Band (WB) frequencies are available in North America
only.
To receive NOAA weather alerts while listening to other radio bands, highlight the Alert indicator
in the WB display by pressing the soft key. An alert tone will automatically switch the receiver to
the announcing WB channel regardless of which frequency band is playing.
When equipped with the CB module, use the soft key to highlight the Alert indicator in the LCD
display. Weather alerts are announced over other audio and the Alert indicator is highlighted in
the display.
Tuning a Radio Station
The radio has several tuning modes in each of the frequency bands: Manual, Seek, Scan, Preset
Memory and Preset Scan.
Tuning in all three modes continuously wraps around the ends of the band.
Manual Tuning
To manually tune the radio to a different frequency:
Press the Up Arrow button or the Down Arrow button to select the frequency in that direction.
Hold the selected arrow button, and after a short delay of 1.5 seconds, the radio will continue to
change frequencies until the selected arrow button is released.
SEEK Tuning
See E in LCD Display Examples. In SEEK, the radio tunes in to the next strong station.
Press and release the MODE SEL switch up (UP) to tune in the next strong station upward in the
band. Press and release the switch down (DN) to tune in the next strong station downward in the
band.
NOTE:
The SEEK icon appears in the display as long as the receiver is seeking the next strong
frequency. The SEEK icon disappears as soon as the receiver has tuned in the next station.
SCAN Tuning
In SCAN, the radio continuously tunes from one strong station to the next until the SCAN is
cancelled.
See F in LCD Display Examples. Press and hold the MODE SEL switch UP or DN
