Saving channel presets

This receiver can memorize up to 30 channels, stored in three banks, or classes (A, B and C) of 10 stations each.

1 Select the channel you want to memorize.

See Selecting channels and browsing by genre above.

2 Press T.EDIT.

The display shows a blinking memory class.

3Press CLASS to select one of the three classes then press / to select the channel preset you want. You can also use the number buttons to select a preset.

•The default for all presets is XM001.

Note

2You can check the strength of reception in Using the XM Menu (page 53).

3It’s easiest if you have your TV switched on to take advantage of the OSDs. You can, however, use just the front panel display to do everything if you prefer.

4Select XM000 (RADIO ID) from the on-screen display to check the Radio ID of the XM Mini-Tuner.
