Memorizing Stations
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. The VSX-D409/509S can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three banks, or classes, (A,B and C) of 10 stations each. When memorizing FM frequencies, the receiver also stores the MPX setting (auto stereo or mono, see p.42). The process for memorizing stations is only possible from the controls on the front panel of the receiver.
2 1 | 3 | 1 | Tune to a station you want to memorize. |
| See Finding a Station and Tuning Directly to a Station, on pages 42 |
| | | and this page, for more on how to do this. |
| | 2 | Press MEMORY. |
