SAVING PRESETS

The RV-8 has 40 presets available for storing AM or FM stations. The presets are divided into four banks with ten presets per bank. It is possible to store a combination of AM and FM stations in each bank. Storing presets on the RV-8 can be accomplished from either the front panel or the remote control. The operation is identical.

To save a station as a preset on the RV-8:

1.Press the front-panel or remote-control SAVE button. A status message displaying ”Saving Preset” appears in the front-panel (and on-screen) display.

2.Enter a number between 1 and 40 to save the currently loaded frequency as the corresponding preset.

For example, if the tuner is currently playing 101.7FM, press the SAVE button, then the 1 button to save 101.7FM as preset number 1.

Press the 1 button followed by the 5 button to save as preset number 15. Pressing more than two numbers resets the preset number to the third digit entered.

Pressing the SAVE button a second time cancels the saving process.

NAMING PRESETS

Preset stations use a naming system based on the RDS system. In the US, each preset channel is identified by the station's call letters, or what the broadcast information identifies as the call letters. In Europe and Japan, each preset channel is identified by the station's Program Service (PS) name.

If the RDS information is not available, the preset name defaults to PresetXX, where XX is the listed number position in the Preset menu.
