Presetting Stations

You can preset 30 FM and 15 AM stations — using either automatic presetting method or manual presetting method.

In some cases, test frequencies have been already memorized for the tuner since the factory examined the tuner preset function before shipment. This is not a malfunction. You can preset the stations you want into memory by following the presetting method.

There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

To preset stations automatically — Automatic Presetting

On the remote control ONLY:

You need to preset stations separately for the FM and AM bands.

1 Press FM/AM to select the band.

2 Press and hold AUTO PRESET until “A. PRESET” appears in the main display for about 2 seconds.

Local stations with strong signals are searched and stored in memory automatically.

When automatic preset is over, the station stored in preset number 1 is received.
