Audio System

AUTO SELECT — 

If you are

traveling far from home and can no
longer receive the stations you
preset, you can use the Auto Select
feature to find stations in the local
area.

To activate Auto Select, press the
A. SEL button. A. SEL will appear in

the display, and the system will go
into scan mode for several seconds.
It automatically scans both bands,
looking for stations with strong
signals. It stores the frequencies of
six AM stations and twelve FM
stations in the preset buttons. You
can then use the preset buttons to
select those stations.

If you are in a remote area, Auto
Select may not find six strong AM
stations or twelve strong FM stations.
If this happens, you will see a "0"
displayed when you press any preset
button that does not have a station
stored.

With Auto Select on, you cannot

manually store any frequencies in
the preset buttons. If you do not like
the stations found by Auto Select,

you can use the TUNE and SEEK
functions to find other stations.

Auto Select does not erase the
frequencies that you preset pre-
viously. When you return home, turn

off Auto Select by pressing the
A. SEL button. The preset buttons
will then select the frequencies you
originally set.
