Getting Started

Presetting the Radio Stations

With “Auto-betical select” you can automatically store up to 30 FM and FM RDS stations in alphabetical order without redundancy. Additionally, “Auto-betical select” only stores the stations with the clearest signals. If you want to store FM or AM (MW and LW) stations one by one, see “Tuning stations (Automatic Tuning)” and “Storing stations.”

The tuner scans and stores all the FM and FM RDS stations in the broadcast area.

For RDS stations, the tuner first checks for stations broadcasting the same programme, then stores only the one with the clearest signal. The selected RDS stations are sorted alphabetically by their Programme Service name, then assigned a two character preset code. For more details on RDS, see page 12.

Regular FM stations are assigned two-character preset codes and stored after the RDS stations.

Notes

•If you move to another area, repeat this procedure to store stations in your new area.

•For details on tuning stored stations, see page 4.

•The ANTENNA, ANT ATT, IF BAND, and FM MODE settings are also stored along with the station.

•If you move the aerial after storing stations using "Auto- betical select," the stored settings may no longer be valid. If this happens, store the stations again.

Tuning stations (Automatic Tuning)

With automatic tuning you can quickly tune in a station without having to know its frequency.

1Press BAND to choose either FM, MW, or LW.2Press TUNE MODE so that “AUTO TUNING” appears in the display.

3Turn TUNING/SELECT slightly and release it when the frequency numbers start changing. Turn the knob to the right for a higher frequency; turn it to the left for a lower frequency.

When the tuner locates a station, it stops automatically, “TUNED” appears in the display, and the signal meter indicates the strength of the broadcast signal.

4Repeat step 3 until you tune in the appropriate station.To store the station, see “Storing stations” on page 9.zIf you cannot tune in the station you want (Manual Tuning)

With manual tuning you can search through all stations broadcasting on each band, and tune in stations with extremely weak signals that you might not be able to receive with automatic tuning.

1 Press BAND repeatedly to choose FM, MW, or LW. 2 Press TUNE MODE so that only “TUNING”

appears in the display. “AUTO” should not appear in the display.

3 Turn TUNING/SELECT until you tune in the desired station.

Turn the knob to the right for a higher frequency; turn it to the left for a lower frequency.

The signal meter indicates the strength of the broadcast signal.

Note

When you reach the highest or lowest frequency of any band, tuning stops.
