I just bought a Sony w/digital tuning (unfortunately, I don't know the model
number), but I know that it has a switch to change the AM tuning step.
In mine, it's inside the cassette compartment, and hard to see unless you're
looking for it.  You might want to check your owner's manual, or just look
around the unit *really* well.

If there's no switch, there probably IS a jumper or some such inside - Sony
sells these things worldwide, and it'd be silly to have more than one basic
design for similar models.  Perhaps someone knows the innards well enough
to point the location of said jumper out?
