them to the receiver. Then you can tune in any
of the stations directly by entering its
2-character preset code using the supplied
remote. Up to 30 FM or AM stations can be
preset. The receiver will also scan all the
stations that you have preset.
Before tuning to preset stations, be sure to
preset them by performing steps on "Presetting
radio stations" (page 36).
