If the optional HD Radio (High Definition Radio)

broadcasts can be received. When terrestrial
digital broadcasts are received, FM reception has
the same quality as a CD, and AM reception has
the same quality as conventional FM sound.
Depending on the reception status, HD Radio
can also receive analog broadcasts, which
means reception is still possible in regions with
no digital coverage.
There are automatic and manual methods for
setting stations in memory. The main unit will
accept up to 24 stations in memory: 6 in AM and
18 in FM (6 each for FM1, FM2 and FM3.) (Initial
setting)

information on the following operations:
• Listening to the tuner
• Tuning to a station
• Entering stations into memory automatically
(The automatic preset mode: ASM)
