This section does not apply if you are already receiving WorldSpace audio
content. However, if no broadcasters can be heard and the display window shows

for the broadcasters.

on the display window.
- Press the
Learn button again while "LEARN?" is displayed.
- "LEARN

tuner automatically searches for the broadcasters in the WorldSpace band.
- If the search
is successful, the 1st broadcaster will be heard and the rest of the broadcasters
will be in memory. Follow the directions in the Basic Operations section
to tune through the broadcasters.

presets. The display area is one 8-character line. Belying its "tough guy"
image, this unit thoughtfully includes an equalizer so you can tastefully shape
your sound.
