Presetting Radio Stations

You’ll most likely want to preset the receiver with the radio stations you listen to often so that you don’t have to tune in the station every time. The receiver can store a total of 30 FM or AM stations. You can store the stations on preset numbers combining 3 characters (A, B and C) and numbers (0-9). For example, you can store a station as preset number A1, B6, or C9.

AUDIO FUNCTION

1Press AUDIO FUNCTION repeatedly until the TUNER indicator lights up.

The last received station is tuned in.

2Tune in the station you want.

If you are not familiar with how to tune in a station, see “Receiving Broadcasts” on page 15.

3Press MEMORY.

“MEMORY” appears for a few seconds.

Do Steps 4 and 5 before “MEMORY” goes out.

4Press SHIFT to select a memory page (A, B or C). Each time you press SHIFT, the letter “A,” “B” or “C” appear in the display.

5Press the number you want to use (0 to 9).

If “MEMORY” goes out before you specify the preset number, start again from Step 3.

6Repeat Steps 2 to 5 to preset other stations.

To change a preset station

Preset a new station on the number you want to change.

Note

If the AC power cord is disconnected for about one week, the preset stations will be cleared from the receiver’s memory, and you will have to preset the stations again.

Tuning preset stations (preset tuning)

You can tune directly to a preset station by entering its preset number. If you don’t know which stations are preset on which numbers, you can tune by scanning the preset stations.

1Press AUDIO FUNCTION repeatedly until the TUNER indicator lights up.

The last received station is tuned in.

2Press SHIFT to select a memory page (A, B or C), then press the number.

For example, select A and then press 7 to tune in the station preset as A7.

zYou can tune by scanning the preset stations

Press AUDIO FUNCTION repeatedly until the TUNER indicator lights up, and then press DISPLAY so that the frequency display appears. Then press PRESET TUNING + or – to select the station you want. Each time you press the buttons, the preset numbers change as follows:

nA1˜A2˜...˜A0˜B1˜B2˜...˜B0N

nC0˜...C2˜C1N

Indexing Preset Stations and Program Sources

You can enter a name of up to 8 characters for preset stations (station index) and program sources. These index names (for example, “VHS”) appear in the receiver’s display when a station or program source is selected.

Note that no more than one name can be entered for each preset station or program source.

This function is useful for distinguishing components of the same kind; 2 VCRs, for example, can be specified as “VHS” and “8MM,” respectively. It is also handy for identifying components connected to jacks meant for another type of component; for example, a second CD player connected to the DAT/MD jacks.
