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 station buttons after step 2, and then follow step 3. 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 9.

To recall a preset station

Simply follow the procedure of the section “To recall a preset station” on page 9.

TX-580RDS only

*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 9.

The automatic preset tuning search will be performed through all 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.

TX-480, TX-480L

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 9.

TX-580RDS

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 9.

*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.
