Registering FM Stations Automatically to the Presets List

You can search for an FM radio station in the Play Information screen, which is a basic radio tuning function. In the Preset station list screen, you can use a similar scanning process to locate all available stations within a specific frequency range and register them all in the Presets list—in a single automatic process. This lets you easily create your own FM preset list.

1From the Radio menu screen (page 54), select Presets. Consecutively press the SELECT button on the remote control until you see a list of preset stations in the screen. (You can select any preset group.)

4Select Start in the dialog box to start automatic scanning and registration of FM stations. The station list of the specified group is shown with “Searching...” at the specified position.

Searching for an FM station to be registered at this position

The progress bar indicates the scanning is ongoing while increasing the frequency. Each station that’s found is automatically registered to the current position, and “Searching...” moves to the next position.

nAny existing station in the “Searching...” position is overwritten when a new station is registered. When registration reaches to the last position (J10), the FM Auto Preset process finishes at that point. If you want to cancel the process, press the Stop button or the left arrow button on the cursor controller.

2Select the FM Auto Preset command from the Submenu for the following dialog box.

3Select and specify the Starting Frequency value where the MCX-2000 starts scanning at, and the Starting Preset position where you want FM stations found in the scanning process to be registered from. Use the up and down arrow buttons (u/d) on the cursor controller to change values, as well as the left and right arrow buttons (j/i) to move between group (A~J) and position (1~10).

5When “Complete” is shown at the progress bar, the FM Auto Preset process is finished. You will return to the station list screen (the last registered station will be highlighted).

nYou can also edit station names using the Edit title command (page 85).
