Changing the reception sensitivity for automatic scanning

The main unit lets you select the reception sensitivity to be used for automatic scanning of stations. The two sensitivity modes available for this main unit are AUTO mode and DX mode.

AUTO ModeDuring automatic scanning, the reception sensitivity switches automatically to one of two levels. Initially the reception sensitivity is set to the low level so that only stations with strong signals are received. If no stations could be received, the reception sensitivity is increased so that stations with weaker signals can also be received.
DX ModeBecause the reception sensitivity for automatic scanning is set to the high level from the start, even stations with weaker signals can be received. (Signal crossover may result in some stations being hard to hear.)
attention
  • When an optional HD Radio tuner unit is connected, reception sensitivity is set to the AUTO Mode. The DX Mode is unavailable. (U.S.A. only)
