Presetting Radio Stations - Sony STR-DA1200ES Operating Instructions Manual

2
Hold down MEMORY/ENTER
and press POWER to turn the
receiver back on.
"Autobetical select" appears on the
display and the receiver scans and stores
all the FM and FM RDS stations in the
broadcast area.
For RDS stations, the tuner first checks
for stations broadcasting the same
program, then stores only the ones with
the clearest signal. The selected RDS
stations are assigned a 2-character preset
code. For more details on RDS, see
"Using the Radio Data System (RDS)"
(page 81).
Regular FM stations are assigned 2-
character preset codes and stored after the
RDS stations.
When this process is finished,
"Autobetical finished" appears on the
display momentarily and the receiver
returns to normal operation.
Notes
• Do not press any button on the receiver or supplied
remote during autobetical operation, except ?/1.
• If you move to another area, repeat this procedure
to store stations in your new area.
• For details on tuning the stored stations, see
"Tuning to preset stations" (page 80).
• If you move the antenna after storing stations with
this procedure, the stored settings may no longer be
valid. If this happens, repeat this procedure to store
the stations again.
