Getting the Stored RDS Stations tuned in from the Broadcasting Networks

Press the AF/TAbutton, then press the preset number button.

Note

If the AF data can find no other station in the memorized station network, “PI seek” will be displayed, and the unit will search for a station with the same PI data. If the unit finds no other station with the same PI data, it will return to the original station.

Within five seconds after reception starts, press the preset number button of the local station you want to change, and keep the button pressed. Repeat this procedure several times until the desired local station is received.

The BTM function (page 8) allows the unit to store only RDS stations on the preset number buttons; activate the AF function, then press the SENS/BTM button for two seconds.

When “AF OFF” is displayed and you activate BTM, the unit will store only stations not transmitting RDS data.
