2.Press and hold the [PS/AS] button for 2 seconds or longer. The stations with good reception are stored automatically to the preset channels.

∗If auto store is performed in the FM bands, the stations are stored in FM3 even if FM1 or FM2 was chosen for storing stations.

•Be careful not to press and hold the [PS/AS] button for 2 seconds or longer, otherwise the auto store function is engaged and the unit starts storing sta- tions.

RDS Operations

RDS (Radio Data System)

This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that supports broadcast stations transmitting RDS data.

This system can display the name of the broadcast station being received (PS) and can automatically switch to the broadcast station with the best reception as you move long distances (AF switching).

Also, if a traffic announcement or programme type is broadcast from an RDS station, no matter what mode you are in, this broadcast is received. Additionally, if EON information is received, this information enables automatic switching of other preset stations on the same network and interruption of the station being received with traffic information from other stations (TP). This function is not available in some areas.

When using the RDS function, always set the radio to FM mode.
