Listening to the radio
Your Lifestyle

system has a built-in AM/FM radio. Good AM/FM radio reception depends on
the location and orientation of the AM and FM antennas. See FM antenna connections and
AM antenna connections on page 16 for proper antenna installation. See Optimizing AM/
FM radio reception on page 36 for help with antenna adjustment.
Turning the system on and choosing the radio
Press FM or AM to turn your system on to the most recently selected FM or AM station. If the
system is already on, use the FM or AM button to select either of these sources.
Setting radio channel spacing
On some multi-room interfaces, the AM and FM channel spacing can be set for North
America (US: 10 kHz for AM and 200 kHz for FM) or Europe (EU: 9 kHz for AM and 50 kHz for
FM). Select the channel spacing most appropriate for your area.
To change between US and EU channel spacing, press and hold the SOURCE button for two
seconds. Press either arrow button until tunr appears. Using the arrow buttons select US or
EU. Press DONE to exit.
Selecting FM or AM
Press the FM or AM SOURCE button to turn on the radio band desired. Select a station by
tuning manually, seeking a strong station, or selecting a preset station.
Manually tuning a radio station
To manually tune a radio station, press the (decrease) or (increase) arrow button on
either side of the frequency display to change the frequency in small steps (Figure 27). Or,
press the KEYPAD button until the indicator arrow points toward TUNE. Then use the
number buttons to enter the frequency of the station you want to tune. The left-most digit is
entered first and the display flashes while you enter more digits. When you have entered the
station frequency, the system selects that station or the closest valid station.
Figure 27
Tuning the radio from the FM
source display
To tune a station, use up/down arrow keys, or
point the KEYPAD to TUNE and enter numbers.
Receiving FM stereo or monaural broadcasts
When receiving sufficiently strong FM stereo broadcast signals, the radio automatically
receives in the stereo mode; the STEREO indicator appears on the display. Weak stereo
signals are received in the monoaural mode (the STEREO indicator is off).
To force the tuner to receive in stereo mode only, press and hold the center of the station
display until you hear a high-pitched beep. To receive in monaural mode only, press and hold
until you hear a low-pitched beep. However, even though you may have forced the stereo
mode, monaural broadcast material is still heard in monaural. Retuning the station cancels
any forcing.
