Automatically presetting stations (for RDS stations)

You can use the automatic preset tuning feature to store RDS stations. This function enables the unit to automatically tune in to RDS 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 “Tuning in to a Preset Station”).

Notes

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

The reception mode is stored along with the station frequency.

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

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

Only RDS 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”. (There may be a case that this unit cannot receive a station which could be received by using the automatic tuning method. This is because this unit receives a large amount of PI (Program Identification) data along with the station.)

Automatic preset tuning options

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

1.Turn the multi jog knob to 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.

2.Press PRESET/TUNING (EDIT) to turn off “ z ” and then turn the multi jog knob to the left to begin tuning toward lower frequencies.

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 by using the presetting station methods.
