Presetting Radio Stations

This section shows you how to store up to 30 of your favourite FM or AM stations manually onto preset codes made up of characters (A, B or C) and numbers (1–0), such as A7. You can store up to 10 stations on each of the 3 different letters. You can use these letters to classify stations according to music category or station band.

Follow the procedure described in “Naming the Preset Stations” on page 13.

Note

If the mains lead is disconnected for about a month, the preset stations will be cleared from the CD Receiver’s memory, and you will have to preset the stations again.
