Listening To Radio Broadcasts - Technics SA-GX190 Operating Instructions Manual

Preset tuning
By presetting the desired broadcast stations into the memory
channels of this unit, broadcast stations can be selected simply
by pressing numeric button(s). (Refer to page 15 for tuning.)
-Before presetting
How many broadcast stations can be preset?
A total of 30 FM and AM stations can be preset.
How is presetting done?
The two following methods are available.
• Automatic memory presetting
Automatic memory presetting allows this unit to automatical-
ly search for broadcast stations and then preset them into
memory.
With this function, searching proceeds from the frequency
currently being displayed and continues through higher fre-
quencies, (up to 107.9 MHz for FM, up to 1710 kHz for AM)
and broadcast stations are preset in the order in which they
are located.
With this method, the channel ranges that can be preset into
the memory for different bands (FM or AM) are set as
follows.
Channel
_ FM _l
For FM broadcast stations ........................ 1-30
For AM broadcast stations ....................... 21 -30
If the FM stations (channels 1-30) are preset and then
the AM stations (channels 21 -30) are preset:
Because this unit can accommodate a total of 30 preset
channels, the settings for FM channels 21-30 will be replac-
ed by the AM settings which were subsequently preset, and
the channel allotment will be as shown below.
Channel
For FM broadcast stations ........................ 1-20
For AM broadcast stations ....................... 21-30
• Manual memory presetting
The desired broadcast stations can be preset into the
desired channels by the user.
This can also be used as a method for changing selected
broadcast stations that were preset in "Automatic memory
presetting".
Please remember this:
If a new broadcast station is preset into a channel, the set-
ting for the broadcast station which was previously entered
in that channel will be automatically erased.
