Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data from being lost when this unit is set in the standby mode. If, however, the power cord is disconnected from the AC power outlet or the power is cut for more than one week, the memory will be erased. If so, store the stations again by using preset tuning methods.

TUNING

Automatic preset tuning options

You can select the preset number from which the unit will store FM stations and/or begin tuning toward lower frequencies. Before automatic preset tuning begins (after pressing MEMORY in step 3),

1.Press A/B/C/D/E and PRESET/TUNING to select the preset number with which the first station will be stored. The automatic preset tuning will stop when stations have all been stored up to E8.

2.Press PRESET/TUNING (EDIT) to turn “ z ” off and then press PRESET/TUNING l to begin tuning toward lower frequencies.

When automatic preset tuning is completed

The display shows the frequency of the last preset station. Check the contents and the number of preset stations by following the procedure in the section “To Recall a Preset Station” on page 28.

Notes

A new setting can be stored in place of the former one.

You can manually replace a preset station with another FM or AM station by simply using the manual preset tuning method.

Even if the number of received stations is not enough to be stored up to E8, automatic preset tuning is automatically ended after searching for all stations.

Only FM stations with sufficient signal strength are stored by automatic preset tuning. If the station you want to store is weak in signal strength, tune in to it manually in monaural mode and store it by using the manual preset tuning method.
