LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIO
DIRECT RECALL OF A PRESET
You can directly recall a desired Preset number.
1 Toggle [ENTER] button to switch between "Preset" and "Tune" mode (see
the lower line of the VFD). Select "Preset" mode.
2 Using the numeric keys of the remote control, key-in directly your
desired Preset number and then, press [ENTER].
DELETE A PRESET
1 Select the Preset number to be deleted.
2 Press and hold [INFO] button and then press and release MEMORY
button – current stored preset setting will be erased.
The Radio Preset can only be deleted using the front panel buttons.
CHOOSING FM MUTE MODE
The front-panel "fm mute" button is a dual-purpose control. In the normal
position ("FM Mute On" is displayed in the lower line of the VFD), only the
stations with a strong signal can be listened to, and the noise between
stations is muted.
Pressing the "fm mute" button again ("FM Mute Off" is displayed in the lower
line of the VFD) allows distant and potentially noisy stations to be received.
Noise is reduced if the FM station signal level is less than the FM Stereo
threshold (since mono FM is inherently less noise-prone) though at the
sacrifice of the stereo effect.
NOTE
One can store the same channel in two preset locations - one with "FM
Mute Off" and another with "FM Mute On".

ABOUT RDS
The Radio Data System (RDS) permits sending small amounts of digital
information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The M4 supports
two RDS modes, station-name (PS mode) and radio-text (RT mode). Not
every FM station incorporates RDS in its broadcast signal. In most areas you
will find from one to several RDS-enabled stations, but it is by no means
impossible that your favorite stations will not be broadcasting RDS data.
VIEW RDS TEXT
When an RDS-enabled FM broadcast is tuned, after a brief delay the lower
line of the VFD will show its station-name (PS) text: "ROCK101, " for example.
Toggle the front-panel [INFO] key to scroll among other MODE settings for
the station's radio-text (RT) readout, if any, which might scroll song or artist
name or any other text of the station's choosing.
