Presetting the RDS stations with the AF and TA data

When you preset the RDS stations, the unit stores each station’s data as well as its frequency, so you don’t have to turn on the AF or TA function every time you tune in the preset station. You can select different setting (AF, TA, or both) for individual preset stations, or the same setting for all preset stations.

Presetting the same setting for all preset stations

1 Select an FM band.

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly and select either “AF“, “TA” or “AF TA” (for both AF and TA functions).

Note that turning the “AF TA” function off

EN stores RDS stations as well as non-RDS FM stations.

3 Press (SENS/BTM) for two seconds.

Presetting different settings for each preset station

1 Select an FM band, and tune in the desired station.

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly and select either “AF“, “TA” or “AF TA” (for both AF and TA functions).

3 Press the desired preset number button for three seconds. Repeat from step 1 for presetting other stations.

Tip

If you want to change the preset AF and/or TA setting after you tuned in the preset station, you can do so by turning on/off the AF or TA function.
