Using the Auto Station Programme Memory (ASPM)
Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be stored.
If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of new stations you can store will be less.
1Press the TUNER (BAND) button to select the FM band.
2Press and hold down the RDS ASPM button on the remote control for at least 3 seconds.
1After "ASPM" has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will start (87.50 - 108.00 MHz).
2When an RDS station is found, "RDS" will appear for a short time and the station will be stored in memory.
3After scanning, the number of stations stored in memory will be displayed for 4 seconds, and then "END" will appear for 4 seconds.
To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:
Press the RDS ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations.
The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.
Notes:
If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the strongest frequency will be stored in memory.
Any station which has the same frequency as one stored in memory will not be stored.
If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory.
If no stations have been stored in memory, "END" will appear for about 4 seconds.
If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.
To erase all of the contents of preset memory:

The new station name has been stored in memory correctly.
