Notes

A new setting can be programmed in place of the former
one.

For presets, the setting of the reception mode (stereo or
monaural) is stored along with the station frequency.

Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data
from being lost even if the POWER switch is set off or the
power plug is disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is
cut due to temporary power failure.  If, however, the power is
cut for more than one week, the memory may be erased.  If
so, it can be re-programmed by simply following the PRESET
TUNING steps.

MANUAL PRESET TUNING

This unit can store station frequencies (selected by tuning operation) by using the preset station buttons.  With this function, you can
select any desired station by only pressing the corresponding preset station button.  Up to 40 stations (8 stations x 5 pages) can be
stored.
