The frequency changes in the following manner according
to how you press HTUNING l / h (or hTUNING k

When you press the key more than 1 second
The tuner searches the frequency of a station that is
detectable around the current frequency. This is effective
when the tuner can receive strong signals without any
interference. Once the search starts, release the key.
When you keep holding the key, the search continues even
when a station is detected. This is useful when you want to
tune in to a specific station.
When you press and release the key
The tuner increases or decreases the frequency in steps.
Use this method when the tuner cannot receive strong
signals and stations are skipped during the search. You can
listen to better quality sound even when the tuner cannot
receive a strong signal.
