Setting a station preset

Your Lifestyle® music center can store up to 25 AM and 25 FM stations.

Note:To allow for different station preferences, you can reserve a group of preset numbers for each household member. Any station can be assigned to more than one preset number. Or, you can reserve different number groups for different types of stations. For easy refer- ence, you may want to keep a written record of your presets.
