Saving station presets

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. This unit can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When saving an FM frequency, the MPX setting (see Improving FM stereo sound on page 34) is also stored.1

1Choose the station preset you want to name.

See Listening to station presets below for how to do this.

2Press T.EDIT (TUNER EDIT).

The display shows ST. NAME, then a blinking cursor at the first character position.

3 Input the name you want.

Choose a name up to four characters long.

• Use the ST / buttons to select characters.
