MODE SELECTOR

During radio operation, each momentary press of this button will change the radio band. The indication “AM”, “FMI”, or “FMII” will appear on the display panel according to your selection.

Pressing and holding the button for longer than 2 seconds will activate the Auto-Store Tuning function which will automatically scan the AM or FMII bands and enter strong stations into the pre-set memory positions for that band. If you have already set the pre-set memories on the AM or FMII bands to your favorite stations, activating the Auto-Store feature will erase those stations and enter new ones. This feature is most useful when traveling in a new area where you are not familiar with the local stations.

Momentary presses of this button are also used to select the audio source or mode in play. During tape play, it can be used to change to radio mode without ejecting the cassette ( IN indication will remain on display panel to show that a cassette is still loaded in the unit).
