Rotate the TUNING CONTROL while watching the DIAL POINTER on the front of the radio. Stop when you reach your station. If the BAND switch is in the FM STEREO position and the station tuned in is broadcasting a stereo signal, the FM STEREO indicator on the front of the set will light steadily. If FM stereo reception conditions are poor, the indicator light will usually flicker, and sound will be distorted. Under such conditions, move the Band switch to FM. While the broadcast will become mono, the signal and quality of sound should improve. The Stereo indicator will go out. 6. Adjust the VOLUME control to a desired level and the BALANCE control to independently adjust the sound level from the right and the left speaker. A detent in the middle of the slide control is provided to allow a quick return to a position of equal sound from both speakers. 7.
