Presetting stations

■Automatically presetting stations (for FM stations)

You can use the automatic preset tuning feature to store FM stations. This function enables this unit to automatically tune in to FM stations with strong signals, and to store up to 40 (8 stations x 5 groups) of those stations in order. This feature enables you to easily tune in to any preset station by selecting the preset station number (see page 37).

Notes

•Any stored station data existing under a preset number is cleared when you store a new station under that preset number.

•When a station data is stored under a preset number, the frequency and reception band are also stored.

•You can manually replace a preset station with another FM or AM station by simply following the procedure in the section “Manually presetting stations” on page 36.

•If the number of the received stations does not reach E8, automatic preset tuning has automatically stopped after searching all stations.

•Only FM stations with sufficient signal strength are stored automatically by automatic preset tuning. If the station you want to store is weak in signal strength, tune in to it manually in the monaural mode, and store it by following the procedure in “Manually presetting stations” on page 36.

Automatic preset tuning options

You can select the preset number from which this unit will store FM stations and/or begin tuning toward lower frequencies. After pressing MEMORY in step 3:

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

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data from being lost even if this unit is set in the standby mode, the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the power supply is temporarily cut due to power failure. However, if the power is cut for more than one week, the preset stations may be cleared. If so, store the stations again.
