ASPM (Auto Station Program Memory)
It is recommended that you store stations in memory using
ASPM.
(This memory can be used for PTY searches, station select
and EON switching.)
When the ASPM button is pressed whilst tuned to the FM
band, the RDS (Radio Data System) function will automati-
cally search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be
stored in memory.
(If you have already stored some stations in memory, the
number of new stations you can store will be less.)
1
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on.
2
Press the TUNER (BAND) button.
3
Press the TUNER (BAND) button to select the FM ST
or FM band.
4
Press and hold down the ASPM button for at least 3
seconds.

After "ASPM" has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning
will start (87.50 - 108.00 MHz).
2
When an RDS station is found, the RDS will appear for a
short time and the station will be stored in memory.

After scanning, the number of stations that have been
automatically stored in memory will be displayed for 4 sec-
onds, and then "END" will appear for 4 seconds.

To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:
Press the ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations.
●
The stations that have already been stored in memory will
be kept there.
To erase all of the contents of preset memory:
The unit is in the stand-by mode.
Hold down the TUNER (BAND) button and the MD
■
button,
and then press the ON/STAND-BY button.
●
"PRESET CLR" will appear.
●
After performing this operation, all of the preset memory
information will be erased.
Notes:
●
Only RDS stations will be stored in memory.
●
If the same station is broadcasting on different frequen-
cies, the transmission with the strongest broadcast fre-
quency will be stored in memory.
●
Any station which has the same frequency as the one which
has been already stored in memory will not be stored again.
●
The ASPM operation can be repeated until "END" appears.
●
If a 40th station is stored in memory during a scan, the
scanning will stop at that station. The number of stations
and "END" will each be displayed for 4 seconds.
●
If no stations have been stored in memory, "END" will flash
for about 4 seconds.
●
If 40 stations have already been stored in memory and the
ASPM button is pressed, "END" will appear immediately
and the scan will be aborted.
If you want to redo the ASPM operation from the begin-
ning, erase the preset memory, and then perform steps 1 -
4.
●
If the RDS station broadcast signals are very weak, station
names may not be stored in memory.
