Storing FM stations automatically

— AUTOBETICAL

This function lets you store up to 30 FM and FM RDS stations in alphabetical order without redundancy. Additionally, it only stores the stations with the clearest signals.

If you want to store FM or AM stations one by one, see “Presetting radio stations” (page 28). Use the buttons on the receiver for the operation.

Note

To avoid damaging your speakers, make sure that you turn down the volume before you use the AUTOBETICAL function.

1 Press ?/1 to turn off the receiver.

2 Hold down MEMORY/ENTER and press ?/1 to turn the receiver back on.

“AUTO-BETICAL SELECT” appears in the display and the receiver 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 program, then stores only the one with the clearest signal. The selected RDS stations are sorted alphabetically by their Program Service name, then assigned a 2-character preset code. For more details on RDS, see

page 29.

Regular FM stations are assigned 2- character preset codes and stored after the RDS station.

When done, “FINISH” appears in the display momentarily and the receiver returns to the normal operation.

Notes

•Do not press any button on the receiver or supplied remote during autobetical operation, except ?/1.

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

•For details on tuning the stored stations, see “Tuning to preset stations” (page 28).

•If you move the antenna after storing stations with this procedure, the stored settings may no longer be valid. If this happens, repeat this procedure to store the stations again.
