Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When saving an FM frequency, the MPX setting (see previous page) is also stored.

1Tune to a station you want to memorize. See Listening to the radio on the previous page for more on this.

2Press T.EDIT (TUNER EDIT).

The display shows ST. MEMORY, then a blinking memory class.

3 Press CLASS to select one of the three

classes then press ST to select the station preset you want.

You can also use the number buttons or the MULTI JOG dial (front panel) to select a station preset.

After pressing ENTER, the preset class and number stop blinking and the receiver stores the station.
