Introduction:
The tuner can store a total of 60 station set- tings (presets). The preset stores the fre- quency and the reception mode, and also the RDS station name - provided that it was picked up in full at the time it was stored.
When you call up a preset the tuner reverts to the exact setting in which the preset was stored.
Operation:
Before you store a preset the station must first be tuned in accurately; you may have to wait until the complete RDS station name appears on the screen. Then you should press the remote control buttons in the sequence shown above.
The screen shows a 'P' on the left followed by a flashing number, with the station fre- quency after that, e.g.:
'P28 104.90' MHz
The flashing number is the preset number under which the current station will be stored.
You can change the preset number using the
and buttons, or you can enter the number you want to use directly using the numeric buttons.
To store the setting under the current
If none of the menu control buttons (, / or ) are pressed for a period of about ten seconds, the unit interrupts the special functions menu and reverts to the standard display.
Note:
If you attempt to store an invalid preset num- ber (xx), the machine responds with an error message on the screen: 'Pxx ERROR'; the tuner then terminates the special functions menu.
The RDS norms state that the station name must be broadcast in static form, but many stations present the information as a moving script. If this occurs, do not store the preset until the transmitter broadcasts its station name constantly for a fairly stable period.
