Knowledge
Caution : Read the pages marked carefully to ensure safe operation.
The space between radio channels has been set to the one that
prevails in the area to which the system is shipped. However, if the
current channel space setting does not match the setting in the
area where the system is to be used, for instance when you move
from area 1 or area 2 shown in the following table or vice versa,
proper reception of AM/FM (SW/MW/FM) broadcasts cannot be
expected. In this case, change the channel space setting in
accordance with your area by referring to the following table.
