Presetting Radio Stations
You can preset your favorite radio stations automatically (FM stations only) or manually to tune the stations simply by selecting the preset group and number. The CinemaStation can store up to 40 stations (5 groups x 8 stations) in its memory.
Presetting FM stations automatically (Auto Preset)
If the FM radio wave reception is strong in your area, Auto Preset is a quick and useful way to preset FM radio stations. If you want to preset AM stations or the FM radio wave reception is weak in your area, preset stations manually (page 52).
