Preset function, clear the complete frequency list
or restore all default frequencies set by the factory.

When the Auto Preset is selected the tuner will
scan the full FM range and store all stations with
acceptable reception one after another on the
presets. The frequency scanned will appear on
the left lower side of the menu, while the fre-
quency of each station stored will be shown on
the right side of the list. When the complete FM
range is scanned or all presets (30) are loaded
with stations the scan will stop and the first pre-
set be selected. 

You also can stop the scan at any time by pressing
the STOP button 

I

. Stations can be rearranged

by following the explanations in the chapter
"Rearranging the station list" above. 

RDS Station ID

With the help of RDS (Radio Data System) you
can show the name of the station you are cur-
rently listening to as well as the station names of
all other presets.

The RDS function is set to active by default,
shown by the light blue RDS icon at the left of
the menu. In this mode, all station names will be
visible both on the OSD menu as well as on the
Information Display on the front panel.

If the RDS function on the left side of the menu is
inactive (dark blue), you will only see the frequen-
cy of the current preset shown in the menu and on
the front panel display. The Station Name line on
top of the menu will disappear, but the name of all
other stations preset will keep in the list.

Pressing 

STATUS

on the remote will change

the front panels display’s indication from the fre-
quency to the name of an RDS station or vice
versa and will simultaneously turn the RDS indi-
cation in the OSD on or off.
