NOTE: When the FM reception of a stereo station is weak, the audio quality will be increased by switching to Mono mode by pressing the FM Mute Selector on the front panel so that the STEREO indication changes to MONO.
PRESET TUNING
Up to 30 FM and 30 AM stations may be stored in the C445's memory for easy recall using the remote control. In order to program preset stations into the memory, you must use the front panel controls.
To enter a station into the memory, first tune the station using the steps outlined above. Then:
1Press the Memory Button on the front panel or on the remote control. Note that CH01 starts blinking in the lower display line of the Information Display.
2Within four seconds, turn the Control Ring until the Information Display shows the corresponding location where you wish to store this station's frequency.
3Press the Memory Button again to confirm.
4Repeat the process after tuning any additional stations to be preset.
AUTO PRESET
Preset stations may also be programmed automatically for the entire FM band. To automatically enter each station that may be tuned with acceptable quality into the C445's preset memories, first select the FM band. Next, press and hold the Memory Button until the station frequency indication begins to increase. Release the button and note that the tuner will search the entire FM band, and stop briefly at each station that has acceptable signal strength. The C445 will automatically assign a preset number to each station, and then search for the next station.
NOTE: Using the automatic tuning mode in areas with more than 30 FM stations will completely fill the preset memories, and overwrite any previously memorized presets for either AM or FM stations.
TIP: The automatic scan process may enter stations that you do not wish to retain in the memory. These unwanted stations may be removed from the memory by pressing the Memory Button once the preset to be deleted is shown on the display. Within 5 seconds press the Clear Button on the remote control to confirm the deletion.
RECALLING PRESET STATIONS
To manually select a station previously entered in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys that correspond to the desired station's memory location. To manually tune through the list of stored preset stations one by one, press the Select Button until the Information Display shows Preset tune. Turn the Control Ring or press the Scroll / Tune Buttons on the remote control to scroll through the list of presets.
RDS OPERATION (FM TUNER OPERATION)
RDS (Radio Data System) transmits station call signs or network information, station programme type, text messages about the station or specifics of a musical selection and the correct time.
RDS TUNING
When an FM station is tuned in and it contains RDS data, the C445 will automatically display the Program Service, which is the station's call sign, in the lower display line of the Information Display, with some private stations also offering other information changing every 2 to 5 seconds.
