PRE-SETTING STATIONS IN THE TUNER MEMORY

This system includes a 32 station preset memory. You can store up to 20 FM

stations and 12 AM stations in the tuner memory for immediate recall. The procedure

for storing stations in memory is as follows:

1.) Follow step 3 under LISTENING TO THE RADIO in page 19 to select the first

station you wish to memorize. Example FM 103.50 MHz.

2.) When the desired station appears on the display press the MEMORY/CLOCK

SET button on the front panel or the MEMORY/C-SET button on the remote

control. The “CH” (Channel) indicator appears and two “dashes” ( - - ) flash in

the channel number display.

3.) Press the PRESET UP/REPEAT button on the front panel or remote control

once to select preset channel number 1.

4.) Press the MEMORY/CLOCK SET button on the front panel or the MEMORY/

C-SET button on the remote control once more to enter the station in preset

memory number 1.

5.) Repeat steps 1 through 4, selecting a different preset number in Step 3 each

time until you have entered up to 20 FM stations in the tuner memory.

6.) Press the TUNER/BAND button to select the AM band and follow the same

procedure to enter up to 12 AM stations in the tuner memory.
