Broadcasts
This chapter describes how to receive
FM or AM broadcasts and how to
preset selected stations.
You can tune in stations on this receiver in the following
ways:
Automatic FM Memory (AUTOBETICAL)
You can have the receiver automatically store up to 30 of
the clearest FM and FM RDS stations in alphabetical order
(see page 36).
Direct Tuning
You can enter a frequency of the station you want directly
by using the numeric buttons on the remote (see page 36).
Automatic Tuning
If you don’t know the frequency of the station you want,
you can let the receiver scan all available stations in your
area (see page 37).
Preset Tuning
After you have tuned in stations using Direct Tuning or
Automatic Tuning, you can preset them to the receiver
(see page 37). Then you can tune in any of the stations
directly by entering its 2-character code (see page 38). Up
to 30 FM or AM stations can be preset. The receiver will
also scan all the stations that you have preset (see page
38).
RDS functions
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that
allows radio stations to send additional information along
with the regular radio programme signal. This receiver
offers you two convenient RDS features:
— Displaying the RDS information (see page 38)
— Locating a station by programme type (see page 39)
Note that RDS is operable only for FM stations.

Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the
same types of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS services
in your area, check with your local radio stations for details.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
• Connected an FM and AM antenna to the receiver (see
page 5).
