Memorizing stations automatically

— Best Tuning Memory (BTM)

This function selects from the currently received band the stations with the strongest signals and memorizes them in order of their frequency.

PREVENTING ACCIDENTS!

When tuning in during driving, use the automatic tuning and the memory preset search function instead of the manual tuning.

1 Press (FM) or (MW/SW) repeatedly and select the band.

Each time you press (FM) or (MW/SW), the band changes as follows:

(FM): FM1 nFM2 nFM3

(MW/SW): MW nSW1 nSW2

2 Press (SENS/BTM) for two seconds.

Notes

•The unit will not store stations with weak band frequencies on the preset number buttons. If there are only a few stations received, some preset number buttons will remain empty.

•When there is a preset number indicated on the display window, the unit will store stations on all preset number buttons from the one currently displayed.

Memorizing only the desired Stations

Up to 6 stations on each band (FM1, FM2, FM3, MW, SW1 and SW2) can be stored on the preset number buttons in order of your choice. Therefore, 18 stations can be memorized on FM.

If you try to store another station on the same preset number button, the previously stored station will be erased.

1 Press (FM) or (MW/SW) repeatedly, and select the band.

2 Press (SEEK/AMS) to search for the station which you wish to store on the preset number button.

3 Press the desired preset number button ((1) to (6))for two seconds until a beep sounds.

The number of the pressed preset number button appears on the display window.

—Monaural mode

Press (SENS/BTM) momentarily until “MONO” lights up on the display.

Changing the displayed items

Each time you press (DSPL), the display item changes as follows:

Frequency ÷Clock

If you can't tune in a preset station

Press either side of (SEEK/AMS) momentarily to search for the station (automatic tuning).

The scanning stops when a station is received. Press either side of the button repeatedly until the desired station is received.
