Using the tuner
Using the Auto Station program Memory
(ASPM)
Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will
automatically search for new RDS stations. Up to 30 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 TUNER until "FM" appears on the display.
Press MENU and then press / until "FM RDS"
2
appears on the display.
Press ENTER and then press / until "ASPM"
3
appears on the display.
4 Press ENTER.
After "ASPM" has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will
start (87.5 - 108 MHz).
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 ∫ whilst it is scanning for stations. The stations
which are already stored in memory will be kept there.
• 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 the one
stored in memory will not be stored.
• If 30 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 station have been stored in memory, "NOT
FOUND" will appear for about 5 seconds.
• If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may
not be stored in memory.
• The same station name can be stored in different
channels.
• In a certain area or during certain time periods, the
station names may temporarily be different.
Note
• If any of the following events occur, it does not mean
that the unit is faulty:
- "PS", "NO PS" and a station name appear alternately,
and properly.
- If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a
station is conducting tests, the RDS reception
function may not work properly.
- When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too
weak, information like the station name may not be
displayed.
- "NO PS", "NO PTY" or "NO RT" will flash for about 5
seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.
• Notes for radio text:
- The first 8 characters of the radio text will appear and
then they will scroll across the display.
- If you tune in to an RDS station which is not
broadcasting any radio text, "NO RT" will be
displayed when you switch to the radio text position.
- Whilst radio text data is received or when the text
contents change, "RT" will be displayed.
