Setting the AM Tuner Interval Spacing

To change the FM reception mode
When an FM stereo broadcast is noisy or hard to receive, you can change the FM reception mode to improve the reception. On the remote control ONLY: Press FM MODE. � Each time you press the button, FM reception mode alternates between STEREO and MONO. STEREO: Normally select this. You can hear stereo sound when a program is broadcast in stereo. The STEREO indicator lights while receiving the FM stereo broadcast (only when the reception is good). MONO: Select this when an FM stereo broadcast is noisy or hard to receive. Reception improves though stereo effect is lost. The MONO indicator lights up on the display.
