FM/AM TUNING

Automatic preset tuning

You can use the automatic preset tuning method to automatically store FM stations. This function enables this unit to automatically tune into FM stations with strong signals and store up to 40 (8 stations in each of the 5 groups, A1 to E8) of those received stations in order. You can then easily recall any preset stations by selecting the preset station numbers where they are stored.

Notes

•Any station data stored under a preset station number is cleared when you store a new station under that preset station number.

•If the number of received stations does not reach 40 (E8), automatic preset tuning automatically stops once searching all available stations are tuned into and stored.

•Only FM stations with sufficient signal strength are stored automatically by automatic preset tuning. If the station you want to store is weak in signal strength, try using the manual preset tuning method.
