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.

No am/fm on this unit. I use pandora or if I want am/fm stream through an app on my iPhone via Apple TV ***Update - i stand corrected, i haven't used it but there is FM, and NO AM. FM appears to have 8 preset options

Yes! SCANNING Scanning is used for hands off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. When the transceiver options are set to SCAN (via software), setting the channel selector to channel 16 directs the radio to scan the selected channels from 1-16. 1. Transceiver stops scanning when a signal is detected and continues when signal is gone. 2. If there are less than 2 channels, it cannot scan. (Go figure) 3. On channel 16, Press and Hold the PTT and MONI buttons while switching ON the transceiver to turn the Scanning ON or OFF. 4. If FM Radio function is activated via software, the radio will not scan. Note: There is no actual FM Radio function in this radio, so this option should always remain deactivated in software.

Hi, I can only speak to the PR-D5 as this is my first time using a Sangean of which I think are fabulous. I too, only listen to FM and must all stations come in clearly.Enjoy!

you must read the directions thouroughly. and understand the controls (each individual button). unfortunatly this is the only way to learn, thru trial and error. I especially had difficulty in setting pre-tuned stations (FM or AM) and having them remain in the device's memmory! Setting this device can be crazy as the directions are awkward to understand and navigate. My advice is to play with the radio and work things out through trial and error..

I have had the same problem as mentioned by others. I bought it in 2013 and have struggled to tune in local FM stations, even with several different antennas. Nothing seems to work. Any additional suggestions?

The unit I received did not have the fm option. When I inquired they simply said some of them did not have that option. It is also optional that it works at all, evidently. Don't bother with this product...seriously.

I leave mine in my car but always turn it off. I have noticed that when left on and my radio off, it does not play automatically. I still have to switch off and back on in order to play. It may just be a compatibility issue with my radio.

Yes, however, I have found this receiver severely lacking in FM sensitivity. I don't know if it has a problem locking in the signal or if it is just a poor tuner design. All other features work pretty well though.

Joy, The player comes with a transmitter. The first thing you do is set the frequency to an unused number on your FM radio and set the radio to the same frequency. It will be your own private FM station!

You can install software to select the FM frequency, but you don't need to if one of the preset switches work. The app lets you change it on the fly if you get static, but you don't need the app to use the device...just to set it up.Remember only one device can attach at a time.Good luck!

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.

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.

I don't use the fm function. I plug it directly into the aux jack. Works better that way. You can use one of those cassette adaptors as well.

Interesting. I've been considering pre-ordering the 1390T. The amazon description says it does have multi-point routing, maybe it is wrong. With the FM transmitter on the 765T, do you have to use the FM transmitter, and does this mean you have to tune your radio to a dead FM channel while driving? Interesting point you make, because the prices are very similar on Amazon.

This unit is manual selection. However, when I got mine it would not pass the audio correctly so I returned it.

The tuning is digital. It is much easier to use the remote than the buttons on the radio. You have to hold the radio to push the buttons hard enough to get them to work.
