ENGLISH
Using the Auto Station Programme Memory
(ASPM)
Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically
search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be stored.
If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of
new stations you can store will be less.
1
Press the TUNER button on main unit or FUNCTION button
on remote control repeatedly to select the FM band.
2
Press and hold down the RDS ASPM button on the remote
control for at least 3 seconds.
1 After "ASPM" has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will
start (87.50 - 108.00 MHz).
2 When an RDS station is found, "RDS" will appear for a short
time and the station will be stored in memory.
3 After scanning, the number of stations stored in memory will
be displayed for 4 seconds, and then "END" will appear for
4 seconds.

To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:
Press the RDS ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations.
The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.
Notes:
If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the
strongest frequency will be stored in memory.
Any station which has the same frequency as one stored in
memory will not be stored.
If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will
be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the
preset memory.
If no stations have been stored in memory, "END" will appear for
about 4 seconds.
If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be
stored in memory.
To store a station name again if the wrong name was stored in
memory:
It may be impossible to store station names in memory using the
ASPM function if there is lots of noise or if the signal is too weak. In
this case, perform as follows.
1 Press the or button to check whether the names are cor-
rect.
2 If you find a wrong name during receiving the station, wait until the
correct name will be displayed. And then press the MEMORY
button.
3 Within 1 minute, press the MEMORY button whilst the preset
channel number is flashing.
The new station name has been stored in memory correctly.
