Automatic and Manual Tuning
The following steps show you how to tune in FM and AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and
manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the exact frequency of the station you desire, see “Direct
Access Tuning“ on the following page.
1 For the VSX-859RDS set the slide switch on
the remote control to USE.
2 Press the TUNER button ("TUN" on the
VSX-839RDS).
On the remote, this selects the TUNER function on the receiver
and sets the remote to the TUNER operation mode.
3 Press BAND button on the remote or the
front panel to select the band (FM or AM).
Each press switches the band: FM j AM
4 Tune in the station.
For Automatic Tuning
Press and hold TUNING –/+ buttons for about one second, then
release.
The tuner starts searching the selected band and stop automat-
ically at the first station it locates. Repeat to locate other
stations.
For Manual Tuning
• To change frequencies one step at a time, press TUNING –/+
repeatedly.
• To change frequencies quickly, hold down TUNING –/+ and
release when you reach the frequency you desire.
5 Adjust the MASTER VOLUME buttons on
the remote control or the MASTER VOLUME
on the front panel.
MPX mode
If the TUNED or STEREO indicators do not light when tuning an FM
station, because the station is too far away or the broadcast signal is
weak, press MPX on the remote control or front panel to switch to
MONO reception. This should improve reception enough for you to
enjoy the broadcast.
RF ATT mode
Press the RF ATT button to turn the RF attenuator on to reduce sound
distortion when receiving a strong FM signal from a nearby station.
Normally, this button should be set to off. This button does not affect
AM reception.
