A reviewer stated that you can't manually adjust the AM/FM tuner, that it only seeks. Is this correct??

No. This stereo has a factory default setting to seek. It actually has two different seek options and a manual tuning option. The round "volume" knob opens your options menus. Press it in and the different option available to you will begin cycling. You can cycle through these options by turning the knob left and right. Find the option called "settings" and push the knob in to select it. Next, find the option called "seek (settings/options)" not sure which it is but it will be obvious, and press the knob again. Finally, find the option called "manual" and push the knob again. Now you can manually tune your stereo, one station at a time. In order to leave all these menus quickly, simply press and hold the backwards-bending arrow button, the "back" button.

Thanks for your question. This wonderful sounding unit has terrestrial AM/FM and HD tuner sections, but not a V tuner

In my experience that shouldn't be happening. I was always able to pick a station on the FM band, match it on the digital readout, and pipe my iPhone through the car speakers. On intuition rather than science, I picked low powered stations (88.7 or 90.2 for example) rather than powerhouses and had good fidelity.

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.

I don't believe that is true. My husband said it just has a dial to tune it in. Sorry but I've never messed with them.

I don't know. I don't really listen to am stations. Sorry I can't be more help.

One thing I can add to the other excellent advice given here is - after you press the MW/LW button, press the ETM button. This excellent feature will scan across the AM band and store found stations which are then accessible by slowly dialing the tuning a click at a time. Enjoy!

Yes it's a great AM/FM radio but make sure you use an antenna. Hope this helps :)

It has to be tuned to a blank station. One that has nothing but static. My problem with it is it seems to overheat after a short time and quits working. I would not suggest purchasing it.

Yes. You can manually recalibrate this tuner to whatever frequency you'd like. Perfect for those who also prefer tuning to 442.

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.

As others have said, they are difficult to tune in. I tried it just once or so & it was impossible(daytime, middle of the city). I bought it for the standard am/fm stereo & that works great, but for buyers shopping for the shortwave(international) radios, I'd really recommend digital tuning type with digital display. Analog dial with the needle indicator & tiny numbers seem to add even more to the challenge.

Hello Ashley: It has digital tuner for the am/fm, you can adjust the radio channel with the tun+/tun- buttons.

Yes you can set it the normal timing with the am and pm displayed, just check the manual its very easy. :)

I used a different FM Transmitter, but I'm pretty sure they all have the same concept to them. Ans yes, it needs to be on a certain channel. Your radio and Transmitter have to be on the same # to the decimal.

How easy to change stations? Easy. With only two knobs volume and tune plus an am/fm switch you can reach all three with the headset on. Thus you listen for the stations as it locks on the next one instead of taking the headset off to look at the dial or find tiny buttons. It is a good receiver circuit and as simple as you can get to tune. I put some pen marks on the knob locations of my favorite stations so I could pre tune it before putting it on and just "listen tuned" from there. My last brand faded when I turned my head this one does not - that is the most importtant thing not tuning since you probably will stay on your favorite station anyway. How easy to change stations?

So far I have only seen FM and I have not actually tried to access AM. Perhaps you should pose this query directly to the manufacturer
