Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is
largely determined by the mix of the treble,
midrange, and bass levels. In fact, different
kinds of music and vocal programs usually
sound better with different levels of treble, mi-
drange, and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound lev-
els is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a ste-
reo recording or broadcast, changing the
right/left balance will increase the volume of
one group of sounds while decreasing the vol-
ume of another.

sound adjustment screen.

Listening to the radio
Push these buttons to choose either an
AM or FM station.
“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the screen.
If your vehicle is equipped with a satellite ra-
dio broadcast system, when you push the
“AM·SAT” button, “AM”, “SAT1”, “SAT2”,

Turn the knob clockwise to step up the sta-
tion band or counterclockwise to step
down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo
reception when a stereo broadcast is re-
ceived. “ST” appears on the screen. If the
signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the
amount of channel separation to prevent the
weak signal from creating noise. If the signal
becomes extremely weak, the radio switches
from stereo to mono reception. In this case,
“ST” disappears from the screen.

1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Touch one of the channel selector but-
tons (1 — 6) you want and hold it until a
beep is heard.
This sets the station to the touch−screen but-
ton and the frequency appears on the touch−
screen button.
Each radio mode can store up to 6 stations.
To change the preset station to a different
one, follow the same procedure.
The preset station memory is cancelled when
the power source is interrupted by battery dis-
connection or a blown fuse.
