How to Assign Preset Stations

The MR85 AM/FM Tuner allows for presetting your favor- ite radio stations into memory. It will also remember any desired audio modes of operation such as Stereo/Mono and Spatial Enhancement for each station separately. To enter Presets and Audio Modes follow the below steps:

Note: The MR85 Tuner 1 and the optional secondary Tuner 2 Module each can store up to 9 AM and 9 FM stations.

1.Select the AM or FM broadcast band.

2.Tune to the desired radio station with either the Front Panel TUNING Knob or the SEEK S (Up) and T (Down) Push-button(s).

3.Optionally, select the Mono and/or Spatial Enhance- ment Modes of Operation for that station.

Note: The Spatial Enhancement Mode is only applicable to the Tuner 1. All AM Radio Stations are automatically received in Mono.

4.Momentarily press and release the Front Panel ENTER push-button. The LED above the ENTER push-button will light and the Front Panel Display will indicate 1 AVAILABLE, which is the first of 9 Preset Numbers that can be assigned. Refer to figure 4.

How to Assign Custom Names

The Front Panel Alphanumeric Display of the MR85 to- gether with the built in memory, allows for Custom Nam- ing of each Station Preset.

The assignable characters include the alphabet, numbers, and symbols. To enter Custom Presets Names follow the below steps:

Note: In the below example, we will Custom Name an already assigned FM Station Preset Number 1 which has a frequency of 99.10MHz and rename it JAZZ 7. The Custom Naming of a Station is applicable for both Tuner 1 and the optional secondary Tuner 2 Module.
