ASPM (Auto Station Program Memory)

It is recommended that you store stations in memory using ASPM.

(This memory can be used for PTY searches, sta- tion select and EON switching.)

When the ASPM button is pressed, whilst tuned to the FM band, the RDS (Radio Data System) func- tion will automatically search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be stored in memory.

(If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of new stations you can store will be less.)

1After "ASPM" has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will start. (87.50 - 108.00 MHz)

2When an RDS station is found, the RDS will appear for a short time and the station will be stored in memory.

3After scanning, the number of stations that have been automatically 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 ASPM button whilst it is scanning for sta- tions.

The stations that have already been stored in memory will be kept there.

To erase all of the contents of preset memory:

The unit is in the stand-by mode.

Hold down the TUNER button and the TUNING X button, and then press the ON/STAND-BY button.

"PRESET CLR" will appear.

After performing this operation, all of the preset memory information will be erased.

Notes:

Only RDS stations will be stored in memory.

If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the transmission with the strongest broadcast frequency will be stored in memory.

Any station which has the same frequency as one which has been already stored in memory will not be stored again.

The ASPM operation can be repeated until "END" appears.

If a 40th station is stored in memory during a scan, the scanning will stop at that station. The number of stations and "END" will each be dis- played for 4 seconds.

If no stations have been stored in memory, "END" will flash for about 4 seconds.

If 40 stations have already been stored in memory and the ASPM button is pressed, "END" will appear immediately and the scan will be aborted.

If you want to redo the ASPM operation from the beginning, erase the preset memory, and then perform steps 1 - 4.

If the RDS station broadcast signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.
