Tuning Directly to a Station

Sometimes, you'll already know the frequency of the station you want to listen. In this case, you can simply enter the frequency directly using the number buttons on the remote control (this function is not available using the front panel controls of the receiver).

1Press the TUNER button on the remote control.

Memorizing Stations

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. The VSX-D309 can memorize up to 33 stations, stored in three banks, or classes, (A,B and C) of 10 stations each. When memorizing FM frequencies, the receiver also stores the MPX setting (auto stereo or mono, see p.32). The process for memorizing stations is only possible from the controls on the front panel of the receiver.

		1	Tune to a station you want to memorize.

		2	Press MEMORY.
