Preset Tuning
Up to 30 stations may be stored in the
HK 3470’s memory for easy recall using the
front panel controls or the remote. In order to
program preset stations into memory, you must
use the remote control.
To enter a station into the memory, first tune
the station using the steps outlined above.
Then:
1. Press the
Memory
button

on the
remote. Note that the
MEMO
and
PRESET
indicators will light and flash in the Main
Information Display.
2. Within five seconds, press the

you wish to store this station’s frequency.

additional stations to be preset.
Auto Preset
• Preset stations may also be programmed
automatically for the entire FM band. To auto-
matically enter each station that may be tuned
with acceptable quality into the HK 3470’s pre-
set memories, first select the FM band. Next,
press and briefly hold the
Auto Preset
button

MEMO
and
PRESET
indicators
begin to flash, and the station frequency indica-
tion begins to increase. Release the button and
note that the tuner will search the entire FM
band, and stop briefly at each station that has
acceptable signal strength. The HK 3470 will
automatically assign a preset number to each
station, and then search for the next station.
The automatic scan process will stop when all
30 preset memory locations have been filled or
the entire FM band has been scanned three
times.
NOTE: Using the automatic tuning mode in
areas with more than 30 FM stations will com-
pletely fill the preset memories, and overwrite
any previously memorized presets for either AM
or FM stations.
TIP: The automatic scan process may enter sta-
tions that you do not wish to retain in the
memory, or it may enter a station on more than
one frequency if the signal is too strong. These
unwanted stations may be removed from the
memory using the Preset Clear function out-
lined below.

ent station to that location, or leave it empty.
