Setting a station preset

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

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.

1.Lift the music center door.

2.Select a radio station you want to store as a preset, either by tuning manually or by pressing and holding a SKIP key.

3.Press the STORE key. The lowest available preset number flashes for three seconds, then is set and displayed.

4.If you prefer a different preset number, while the number is flashing press either SKIP key to select another available preset number. The preset number is displayed.

Note: You cannot store a station in an already-occupied preset location without erasing that preset station first (see “Erasing a preset station” below). If you attempt to store more than 25 AM or 25 FM stations, the preset display will flash ‘— —’.

Selecting a preset station

Once you have set station presets, press SKIP or to select the next or the previous preset station. See Figure 25 for a sample display of a preset FM station.
