Presetting Stations
You can preset 30 FM and 15 AM (MW/LW) stations — using either automatic presetting method or manual presetting method.
In some cases, test frequencies have been already memorized for the tuner since the factory examined the tuner preset function before shipment. This is not a malfunction. You can preset the stations you want into memory by following the presetting method.
•There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.
