I'm trying to find out the same thing. It's weird. Mine detects stations that are very faint yet misses some of the major ones with strong signals. So how do I get those major stations?!? Hello Creative Labs: You're missing some obvious features, so plus update so you'll really be the best.

To search for stations manually, make sure the preset stations is off. To turn it off, just push the play button ("Preset 1" or w/e will disappear off the screen) and just push left and right on the vertical touch pad to browse the station and start saving it as a preset station :) To turn the preset station on, push play again.

Not on the version I have. If they have updated it, maybe, but I really don't know. My version plays AM/FM radio (no preset buttons, just a knob to roll to your station). and a CD payer, that has a pretty good sound, for it's price.

Is there the option to adjust the EQ manually? YES. It can be found under SETTINGS &gt; MUSIC OPTIONS &gt; MUSIC EQ &gt; CUSTOM Can I adjust each band of the EQ individually? YES. There is a 5 band EQ. That is why I love this thing.

Radio only shows the frequency. So it does not display artist name or the song title. All it shows is the frequency that is playing. You can manually scan the radio station, or Auto scan. Hope this helps. JA

Yep. The tuner in this is so good, there are even hacks to enable the analog FM exclusively. Audiokarma is a good place to read about the tuner.

Don't know. Never thought of it. However tuning on to a station is not "clean". Sometimes you have to go beyond then go back to get a precise tuning.

Sort of. On mine, you can't manually set presets - at least I never found a way to do it. You can set it to scan and auto-define the presets, then make a list of the stations + their preset number. Mine defined about 25 station presets, which I switch between using the remote to enter their number. It's a bit awkward, but it works well enough.

It does pick up FM signal. Additionally, it has reception bars to let you know the broadcast signal strength, both manual and preset capability, auto search to locate stations with reception, digital display out to one decimal point (##.#MHz) so you can find your stations manually if desired, it allows tuning via 0.1 incremental movement which can be tedious but better for signal locating then not having this ability. There is no AM, sorry sports fans. The instruction manual that comes with the device gives clear directions for how to save/preset stations and use the interface to access the radio features. I hope this helped.

My understanding is that this device is a chromatic tune... so It should tune any instruments, now it is optimal for an Autoharp? (witch I really don't know what is it???)

I'm interested to know how to do it too. There is a search mode button (labeled in white - so it is from source) - but it does not work when the "high-end" receiver in a TUNER mode. Not to mention, that there is no way to navigate internet radio without TV on. Please update this post when you hear from Yamaha.

Tuning is not scratchy. It is hard to select stations accurately, even close stations are tough to tune in.

I'm thinking hitting the repeat button isn't all that complicated, so my next thought is, do you have the auto-turnoff setting on? If your CD is about an hour long, and you have an auto-turnoff set for 60 minutes, it would seem like it's not repeating even though you have repeat on. I know some people have complained that the radio turns off automatically after a couple hours.. Turned out it was that setting. Go into the options menu and see what you can find! Let us know.

No, I used my fingers to adjust the frequency. It defaults to 88.1 FM, when you unplug it, so one has to reenter the frequency each time. A pain, but the sound and price is good.

To scan and store AM stations, select MW on the MW/LW button then push the ETM button till it flashes. It will scan the AM band and store receivable stations. Then you can step through the stored stations with the rotary dial.To manually tune AM stations, press the VF button. The display will flash for a few seconds. While flashing, rotate the tuning knob. You are now in manual tuning mode as indicated by the ">" to the right of the display. Slow tuning is 1khz steps, faster tuning is 10khz steps. Fast tuning will show a ">>". You need to experiment a bit with the tuning speed. To go back to the ETM and stored stations, touch the ETM button. Hope this helps.

I am amazed by the quality of the FM reception...when I can get it. Unfortunately where I work (which is why I got the item in the first place), I get only very few stations due to interference by building/steel, etc. I've not tried the record feature.

You noticed that the tuning knob is completely unmarked. Somewhat amazing that the designers weren't ridiculed by testers at this major fail. I tuned to my favorite station by comparing to an existing radio, then marking it with a Sharpie. The black tuning knob got a dab of white paint. Lining up my Sharpie "dots" gets me close, but then I need to twist that knob, perhaps for signal drift. Yes, it's sort of silly to tune it while trying to hear another radio! All the more so since the ear muffs shield that other radio so well. I forgive it because it is comfortable, once "dialed in" it holds the station, and muffles noise so well. I listen to 2 FM and one AM station; tuning to each is a pain-in-the-ass. You noticed that the tuning knob is completely unmarked.
