Using the Tuner

Naming Memorized Stations

You can input a name of up to four characters for each preset station (FM only) in the receiver’s memory (see the previous page). This name can be anything you choose. For example, you could input "BBC1" for that station and when you listen to it the name, rather than the frequency number, will appear on your display.

To erase or change the station name

Perform the procedures of “Naming Memorized Stations” and enter four spaces to erase the memorized station name.

When you want to change a memorized station name, input the new station name using the same procedure.
