[. . . ] ST/MONO In tuner mode, you can change between the station's stereo and mono reception. If a station's reception is of low quality in stereo, the sound quality can be increased by the "MONO" setting. The function of these keys are determined by the setting made with the button "TUNING MODE" (7)(23). RDS MODE This button can be used in FM mode to switch on RDS (Radio Data System) for stations that support this service. Connect the power cable between device and power supply only after all other connections have been made. After switching on, the device takes 30 seconds to warm up the tubes of the amplifier circuit. This button is found on both the remote control and the front of the appliance. This allows you to switch between the FM (VHF) and AM (MW) modes when the radio is on. vHF offers better sound quality and a greater selection of stations. The display shows you the abbreviation "AM" or "FM", depending on the frequency band setting you have chosen. This button is found on both the remote control and the front of the appliance. If a station can only be received with poor quality in stereo, there is an option of listening to it in mono mode. Switching between these two is only possible for FM stations. Whilst this setting is active, the display shows "MONO" in small letters. Use the "TUNING MODE" button on the front of the appliance or on the remote control to select from the three possible settings (function of the buttons "TUNING PRESET") the option "MANUAL". As long as this mode is selected you can change the radio frequency up or down in steps of 0. 05 MHz for FM and 9 kHz for AM , using the buttons "TUNING PRESET". If you have found a station with a strong enough signal, this is signalled by the abbreviation "TUN" in the display. If "ST" is displayed, the station can be played back in stereo. Use the "TUNING MODE" button on the front of the appliance or on the remote control to select from the three possible settings (function of the buttons "TUNING PRESET") the option "AUTOSCAN". As long as this mode is selected the display shows the text "AUTO". Now the buttons "TUNING PRESET" make the tuner step through all frequency settings automatically if touched once. [. . . ] The signal of FM station is too weak (transmitter is possibly at a great distance). An AM station has been selected, only FM stations support RDS.
