Fundamental rules of internal automatic preset tuning operation

Basically, FM stations are programmed onto area A, B and C, and AM stations are programmed onto area D and E (MW stations are onto D and LW stations are onto E) in that order automatically.

*If, for example, the number of received FM stations is not enough to fill up three areas (A, B and C), AM (MW or LW) stations are programmed closely from the preceeding empty areas. In such a case, AM (MW) stations are programmed from area B or C (and LW stations are from area C or D.)

*Moreover, one area is programmed with stations of the same band only. If, for example, the last FM station is programmed to B4, B5–B8 will be programmed with no station, and AM (MW) stations are programmed from area C.

You can also make use of an automatic preset tuning function. By this function, this unit performs automatic tuning and stores stations with strong signals sequentially. Up to 40 stations are stored automatically in the same way as in the manual preset tuning method on the previous page.

1 Select the TUNER position with the INPUT SELECTOR control, watching the display.

2 Press and hold the AUTO MEMO button for about 2 seconds.

* The MEMORY and AUTO TUNING indicators will flash.

This unit performs automatic tuning and received stations are programmed to A1, A2 ... A8 sequentially.

When the automatic preset tuning is completed

The display shows the frequencies of the first preset station (stored to A1).

Check the contents and the number of preset stations by following the procedure of the section “To recall a preset station” on the previous page.

To recall a preset station

Simply follow the procedure of the section “To recall a preset station” on the previous page.

Notes

•The automatic preset tuning search will be performed through all frequencies until 40 stations are stored. If the number of received stations is less than 40, the search will stop after searching all frequencies.

•<U.K. and Europe models only>

The unit is originally set so that only RDS stations are programmed onto the area for FM stations by this operation.

However, you can change the setting so that the unit can program not noly RDS stations but also other FM stations. (Refer to page 25 for details.)

•With this function, only stations with sufficient signal strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to program is weak in signal strength, tune to it in monaural manually and program it by following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on the previous page.

•You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM (MW or LW) station manually by simply following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on the previous page.

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data from being lost even if the AC supply lead is disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is cut due to temporary power failure. If, however, the power is cut for more than one week, the memory may be erased. If so, it can be re-programmed by simply following the Preset tuning steps.
