AUTOMATIC PRESET TUNING

You can also make use of an automatic preset tuning function for FM stations only. By this function, this unit performs automatic tuning and stores FM stations with strong signals sequentially. Up to 40 stations are stored automatically in the same way as in the manual preset tuning method on page 13.

After 5 seconds, the automatic preset tuning begins from A1. Received stations are programmed to A1, A2 ... A8 sequentially.

*If more than 8 stations are received, they are also programmed to the preset station numbers on other pages (B, C, D and E) in that order.

If you want to store the first station received by the automatic preset tuning to a desired preset station number.

If, for example, you want to store the received first station to C5, select “C5” by using theA/B/C/D/E button and the PRESET STATIONS button soon after the display begins flashing on/off in step 2. After a few seconds, the automatic preset tuning begins. The received first station is stored to C5, and next stations to C6, C7 ... sequentially.

If stations are stored up to E8, the automatic preset tuning is finished automatically.

When the automatic preset tuning is finished

The display shows the frequency of the last preset station. Check the contents and the number of preset stations by following the procedure of the section “To recall a preset station” on page 13.

*A recalled station is shown by the frequency or station name on the display.

Notes

You can replace a preset station by another FM or AM station manually by simply following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on page 13.

RX-385 only

If the number of received stations is not enough to be stored up to E8, the search is finished automatically when it reaches the highest frequency after searching through all frequencies.

With this function, only FM stations with sufficient signal strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to program is week in signal strength, tune to it in monaural manually and program it by following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on page 13.

RX-485 RDS and RX-385 RDS only

The automatic preset tuning search will be performed through all RDS network frequencies until stations are stored up to E8. If the number of received stations is not enough to be stored up to E8, the search is finished automatically after searching through all frequencies.

With this function, only RDS 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 page 13.

*There may be a case that this function cannot receive a station which could be received by the automatic tuning method. This is because this function receives a large volume of PI (Program Identification) data along with the station.
