Tuning Directly To A Station; Memorizing Stations - Pioneer VSX-D409 Operating Instructions Manual

Tuning Directly to a Station

Sometimes, you'll already know the frequency of the station you want to listen to. In this case, you can simply
enter the frequency directly using the number buttons on the remote control (this function is not available using
the front panel controls of the receiver).

Memorizing Stations

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy
recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. The
VSX-D409/509S can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three banks, or classes, (A,B and C) of 10 stations
each. When memorizing FM frequencies, the receiver also stores the MPX setting (auto stereo or mono, see
p.42). The process for memorizing stations is only possible from the controls on the front panel of the receiver.
