ATS-Automatic Tuning System
The ATS-909 features an automatic tuning system that will quickly and automatically set all your
memory presets on FM, LW and MW based upon the signal strength of the incoming stations. Among
the many conveniences offered by this feature it is especially useful for the traveler who can
automatically find all the local stations in any strange city he may travel to with just the push of a button..
To start A TS press and hold for more then 2 seconds the buttons designated ATS/FM or ATS/LW or
ATS/MW. The display will flash ATS and the memory presets M1 through M9 are assigned stations
selected automatically by the ATS system. The ATS system will automatically store 18 presets on MW
and FM and 9 presets on LW. (9 presets on each page. Once the ATS has set the 9 presets on 1 page
press the Page button to change pages and repeat the ATS-procedure to select the remaining presets).
An audible signal indicates the automatic search has been completed and the presets have been
assigned. ATS is not possible on the SW Bands.

frequency you desire directly using the numerical key pad. Don't forget to use the decimal point button if
