Saving Your Preset Stations
There are six numbered preset buttons which can store and recall stations for
each band. While listening to a radio station you would like to save as a pre-set,
press and hold one of the buttons numbered 1-6 until you hear a beep. The
button you pressed is now the preset button for that station.
Automatic Scan and Store
The Automatic Memory Storing feature is most useful when travelling in an area
where you are not familiar with the local stations. The Auto-Store Tuning feature
will automatically scan and enter up to eighteen FM strong stations into the
preset memory locations for the FM1, FM2 and FM3 bands or twelve strong AM
stations into the preset memory locations for the AM1 and AM2 bands. Each band
stores up to six preset stations.
While listening to the FM radio, press the AS/PS button on the faceplate or press
and hold the F/PS button on the remote control. The receiver will automatically
scan and save stations of the 3 FM bands.
While listening to the AM radio, press the AS/PS button on the faceplate or press
and hold the F/PS button on the remote control. The receiver will automatically
scan and save stations of the 2 AM bands.
Note: If you have already set the preset memories to your favorite stations,
activating the Auto-Store feature will erase those stations and enter the new
strong stations.
Radio Data System (RDS) Operation
The Radio Data System (RDS) simultaneously transmits digital data along with
the audio signal on FM radio. Although RDS is a European standard, it is also used
in the USA, where it is called Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS). RDS enables
trac reports to be received and provides many facilities, including enabling the
radio station name and program information to be displayed on the display panel.
RDS service availability varies with areas. If RDS service is not available in your
area, the following services are not available, either.
Listening to Trac Announcements (TA)
Press the TA button to turn Trac Announcement function on or o. “TA” appears
on the display panel when Trac Announcement is on.
In TA mode trac programs will be automatically searched, until the program is
received. When a trac announcement is received the unit will temporarily switch
to the tuner mode (regardless of the current mode) and begin broadcasting
the announcement. After the trac announcement is over, it will return to the
previous mode and volume level.
To interrupt a trac announcement, briey press the TA button; it will not switch
o the TA mode.
