Storing stations automatically

— Best Tuning Memory (BTM)

The unit selects the stations with the strongest signals within the selected band, and stores them in the order of their frequency.

1 Press (SOURCE) repeatedly to select the radio.

2 Press (MODE) repeatedly to select the band.

3 Press (MENU), then press either side of (DISC) repeatedly until “BTM” appears.

4 Press (ENTER).

A beep sounds when the setting is stored.

Notes

•If only a few stations can be received due to weak signals, some number buttons will retain their former settings.

•When a number is indicated in the display, the unit starts storing stations from the one currently displayed.

Receiving the stored stations

1 Press (SOURCE) repeatedly to select the radio.

2 Press (MODE) repeatedly to select the band.

3 Press the number button ((1) to (6)) on which the desired station is stored.

Tip

Press either side of (DISC) to receive the stations in the order they are stored in the memory (Preset Search function).

If preset tuning does not work

Press either side of (SEEK) to search for the station (automatic tuning). Scanning stops when the unit receives a station. Repeat until the desired station is received.

Tips

•If automatic tuning stops too frequently, turn on the Local Seek to limit seek to stations with stronger signals (see “Changing the sound and display settings” on page 18).

•If you know the frequency of the station you want to listen to, press and hold either side of (SEEK) to locate the approximate frequency, then press (SEEK) repeatedly to fine adjust to the desired frequency (manual tuning).

If FM stereo reception is poor

Select monaural reception mode.

(see “Changing the sound and display settings” on page 18). The sound improves, but becomes monaural (“ST” disappears).
