Changing the reception sensitivity for automatic scanning

The main unit lets you select the reception sensitivity to be used for automatic scanning of stations. You can select either LOCAL or DX signal receiving sensitivity.

LOCAL 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, the sensitivity is set to the LOCAL mode. The DX Mode is unavailable. (U.S.A. only)

1Check that the power of the main unit is in the standby state (with the power turned off).

2Press and hold button [1] and the [/MENU] button simultaneously for more than three seconds.

The mode switches between LOCAL mode and DX mode each time the buttons are pressed.
