Preset Tuning
The MR88 allows for presetting 20 AM/20 FM Sta-
tions/Programs and 20 XM Channels into memory for
rapid recall without having to manually tune through
unwanted Broadcasts. By rotating the PRESET/
MENU Control, a Preset may be selected. Initially,
when the AM or FM Broadcast Bands are selected the
Front Panel Information Display will indicate "NO
PRESETS STORED". Refer to figure 20.
Note: By default all of the XM Presets are assigned to
XM1, the XM Preview Channel.
