Receiver Operations

Presetting Radio Stations

You’ll most likely want to preset the receiver with the
radio stations you listen to often so that you don’t have
to tune in the station every time. The receiver can store
a total of 30 FM or AM stations. You can store the
stations on preset numbers combining 3 characters (A,
B, C) and numbers (0 - 9).  For example, you can store a
station as preset number A1, B6 or C9, etc.

1

Press TUNER.
The last received station is tuned in.

2

Tune in the station you want.
If you are not familiar with how to tune in a

station, see “Receiving Broadcasts” on the
previous page.

3

Press MEMORY.
“MEMORY” appears for a few seconds.
Do steps 4 and 5 before “MEMORY” goes out.

4

Press SHIFT to select a character (A, B or C).
Each time you press SHIFT, the letter “A,” “B” or

“C” appears in the display.

If “MEMORY” disappears, start again from step 3.

5

While MEMORY is displayed, press the number

you want to use (0 to 9).

6

Repeat Steps 2 to 5 to preset other stations.

To change a preset station

Preset a new station on the number you want to change.

Note

If the AC power cord is disconnected for about one week,
the preset stations will be cleared from the receiver’s
memory, and you will have to preset the stations again.
